“True Detective”: A review of the HBO series “True Detective” in the Jan. 10 Calendar section said character Martin Hart, played by Woody Harrelson, was “a hallucinating insomniac.” The description was of character Rust Cohle, played by Matthew McConaughey.
GED test: An article in the Jan. 6 LATExtra section about a new online-only General Educational Development exam said the test has five sections. The new exam has four sections.
Air Force investigation: In the Jan. 10 Section A, an article about the Air Force’s investigation of two officers for possible involvement in illegal drugs misspelled Kirtland Air Force Base as Kirkland.
Pac-12 basketball: An article in the Jan. 10 Sports section about California’s 96-83 victory over Oregon in men’s basketball misspelled Cal guard Jordan Mathews name as Matthews.
Prison population: The online version of a Jan. 10 LATExtra section article on a projected increase in California’s state prison population was originally accompanied by an undated photo of California State Prison in Lancaster that showed inmates housed in triple bunk beds. That level of crowding no longer exists, and the last triple bunks were removed in March 2012. In addition, the caption erred in listing the location as Los Angeles.
