This has been mentioned by a media organization: Samantha Murphy Kelly (20 May 2022). "Meet the Wikipedia editor who published the Buffalo shooting entry minutes after it started". CNN.

At the time of this writing, the beginning of this article says "On February 15, 2023, Gendron was sentenced to 11 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole" while the "Legal proceedings"-section (at the time of this writing) says "On February 15, 2023, Gendron was denied youthful offender status and received 10 concurrent life sentences, without the possibility of parole". First of all, at the time of this writing, the source cited for those claims ([1]) only says that he was sentenced to life in prison without parole, not that there were 10 or 11 life sentences or that the life sentences were consecutive or concurrent. Furthermore, I can't (at the time of this writing) find any mention within the source in question that he was denied youthful offender status. What is the source for the number of life sentences, for whether the life sentences were consecutive or concurrent and for that he was denied youthful offender status?
