1-2. My article for this essay is about a murder from New York City and his journal. In this article, it discusses fragments of his personal journal read aloud in court. Most of these fragments are graphic and guiltless, upsetting the family member who lost his two children and wife because of this murder. They show little remorse, but show inside the mind of the murder. I find this article very interesting. It is interesting because it shows you how shameless and messed up a killer can be, and gives you an idea of how they think. At the same time I find it to be very sad, because no one wants to hear of the pleasure felt when someone you deeply loved got killed.
3. -not everyone should have constant access to courtrooms.
-some material in court explicit
- some parts of court should be kept limited to only members of the legal team
4. If it is too explicit for all members of the courtroom, too explicit for the newspaper. Not everything needs to be posted in the newspaper to be discussed and read. Show some respect for those suffering hardship and respect their right to privacy.
