According to a new report by Dr. Stefan Weber, Austrian "plagiarism hunter," Harris and co-author Joan O'C Hamilton had 27 "fragments of plagiarism" in the book Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer.
In the 49-page report, Weber and his team also allege that the Democratic presidential nominee and her coauthor copied and pasted from a Wikipedia article for the book.
