Claimed abolition of torture in extracting confessions (unverified)
- When
- 24 August 1780 (disputed; unsupported by supplied passages)
- Where
- Paris (claimed in legacy row only)
The legacy row dates an abolition of torture in extracting confessions to 24 August 1780 in Paris, but no supplied passage corroborates the measure, its date, or its location.
The only evidence for this development is the legacy discovery row, which is not a source. The retrieved passages describe Louis XVI's accession on 10 May 1774, his reign until the monarchy's abolition on 21 September 1792, and his 1780 dispatch of forces under Rochambeau and de Grasse to North America, but none mentions torture, confessions, or any judicial reform of 1780. The episode is retained as unresolved; no date, place, or scope is asserted.
