As a child I read Groosham Grange from Anthony Horowitz, and when I first heard a description of Harry Potter, I thought that they were describing that book from Horowitz. I can’t believe no one else noticed. But I also think that most people active in children’s literature will have an attitude of “anything that gets a child reading, is a good thing”, so they’re not that upset about poor quality being popular and they’d rather keep the positive vibe going.

The bodycam evidence that completely exonerates Martinez isn’t released yet to the public afaik, at least I couldn’t find it. The bodycam purportedly shows that the ice driver turns the steering wheel to the left to ram into Martinez’ car. Another (or the same?) ice agent is shown on bodycam with a finger on the trigger saying “do something bitch” before shooting her. Martinez her gun was still in her purse when she was shot.
