Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-12 (California T4 Sierra build 2026-10-12) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-sierra/pages/divisions__criminal.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-12; 628357 bytes, sha256 00f0d8df39a98da08d33f2f8f9b9ecfd2eb2376e8d4a6ac32b19f601d98597e6) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page's remote appearance paragraph (“As of July 1, 2022”) requests the Request for Remote Appearance: Criminal at least 10 days prior to the court date; the request form (carded) states the terms of a remote appearance. The Spanish criminal page (held) lacks the paragraph.
