For the record - July 7, 2011

Summer cultural events: An article in the July 6 Calendar section about free and low-priced cultural events this summer said that the Sunset Concerts Series at the Skirball Cultural Center begins July 8. It begins July 21. Also, a photo with the article showed Baka Beyond performing at the Sunset Concerts Series. The Afro-Celtic dance band is not part of the series lineup this year.

Oxnard murder trial: An article in the July 6 LATExtra section about opening statements in the trial for Brandon McInerney, who is charged with killing a gay classmate, said that Judge Charles Campbell is a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge. He is a Ventura County Superior Court judge.

BART shooting: An article in the June 29 LATExtra section on the Bay Area Rapid Transit District’s $1.3-million wrongful-death settlement with the mother of Oscar Grant III said that Officer Johannes Mehserle, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, served 11 months in custody for the shooting. Mehserle was jailed for 12 months. The error also appeared in articles on June 13 and June 14.

Clarence Thomas: A July 3 article in Section A on the 20th anniversary of Justice Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court said that justices heard oral arguments in the case of a Louisiana prisoner two months after Thomas was sworn in. It should have said one month.

Lady Gaga sales: An article in the July 1 Calendar section about slumping sales of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” album said that she had fallen at London’s Heathrow Airport earlier that week. She stumbled there last year. Also the last name of a music buyer at Amoeba Music in Hollywood was misspelled. His name is Brad Schelden, not Sheldon.

Veranda showhouse: In the July 2 Home section, a photo preview of the Veranda “House of Windsor” decorator showcase in Mandeville Canyon failed to credit Martyn Lawrence-Bullard as the designer of the “man cave” pictured on the section’s cover.
