| 2022-02-12 | Cole County Prosecuting Attorney @ The State of Missouri | Josh Renaud - View Statement | Prosecutor Drops Charges After Four "Anxious" Months | On February 11th, the public received a statement from Josh Renaud, who was previously unnamed in the incident below, dated 2021-10-15 involving The State of Missouri & St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In Renaud's statement, Renaud was accused on television as a malicious "hacker". In his statement, Renaud details the significant harm caused by this investigation, which is, "entirely legal and consistent with established journalistic principles." It is also the only way to report bugs: to the vendor, of course. Renaud's statement details that this, "has been one of the most difficult seasons of [his] nearly 20-year career in journalism. But [he had] found strength in the prayers and support of my family and friends and so many others across the country." This entry has been entered as a separate update as Renaud was previously unnamed. The statement speaks for itself and should be a wake up call to those who persecute others for political gain, as stated by the state Senate, "more care was given to political gain than the harm caused to a man and his family.” Renaud's experience, "hasn’t been easy." Renaud was, "politically persecuted," and was even used & abused in "attack ads" aired by his political action committee. The full statement is well & truly worth reading. Possibly one of the most important statements a researcher has made in recent times. |

Self-merging, but feel free to reply with updates; it has to be out there ASAP. What a mental nightmare for Josh Renaud. I'm genuinely disgusted at the fact this man had to endure 4 months of mental agony. Thank you https://github.com/Kirkman for coming forward. Threats against researchers should never reach this level, nor should they drag on for months.

Requesting post-merge review @attritionorg @yesnet0
