Language
Some of the language used in these articles is clearly used to ilicit sympathy from the reader towards the victim. This is often the case for female victims. The language used will include the words young, beautiful, and other words that stress their innocence. One example of this is, "Aaron Halle Will Be Tried For Murder in the First Degree." Other articles really stretched out the article, using sensational words instead of actually reporting on the case. An example of this is, ""Base Verdict on Merits of Case" "Without Passion or Prejudice," He tells them, "Decide.""
