Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** The highest court in Massachusetts has ruled audio recordings from the custody hearing of a 5-year-old New Hampshire girl who was murdered by her father and vanished in 2019 after being placed in his care will be made public.
    • Verification Source #1: Fails to cover this claim.
    • Verification Source #2: Mentions a legal aid case involving a 5-year-old, but it's unrelated to the claim.

    • Verification Source #5: Fails to cover this claim.
  • Analysis: The provided sources do not directly verify this claim. However, the claim is plausible and consistent with the type of news reported by ABC News. Without specific verification, it's difficult to assign a perfect accuracy score.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

  • Verification Source #2: Provides an example of a legal aid case involving a 5-year-old, showing that cases involving young children are handled in the legal system.
