Lazy journalism. Doesn't matter one iota as to your criminal record. The court will have the correct information. If anything, is makes it better, as if anyone ever finds that article with the wrong age in (as long as there is no picture of you), you can tell them that must be someone else as the age doesn't match.

But out of the 3 articles on me, 2 gave the same wrong age, and 1 gave the right age.

There was only 1 court reporter. How could he ever get the age wrong?

What are the options for who got what wrong, and does this mean the courts might have faulty info? What does that mean for the criminal record?

Note that I happen to look closer to the wrong age (out of the 2 ages ever printed), but why would a court reporter guess?
