Articles of True Crime
I chose to pick the two articles pertaining to the incident at Delaware State and a
crime story from Spain.
The first story happened on Friday morning as a gunman shot two students who
were seriously wounded. The next story took place in Spain, a 58 year old man stabbed
his ex-wife.
The Delaware shooting, police identified a suspect as “persons of interest” were
questioned.
The story from Spain, the man who had stabbed his wife was taken to the
Fontcalent prison in Alicante to await trial.
According to the layout of the judicial system, the two stories I chose only made it
to the entrance. Reported and observed crime, the two articles made it into print, so the
crimes were obviously observed. The Delaware story there is an investigation that is
ongoing. The story from Spain, the man accused is awaiting trial. An arrest has been
made in connection with the stabbing. The “persons of interest” were not arrested but
questioned.
The reason I chose the two stories were to contrast each other. The story from
Spain is international with a different judicial system. The report was not estranged from
the report from the states. The two were similar. The only thing that stuck out for me was
the man who stabbed was already guilty and not innocent until proven. Whereas the
“persons of interest” was innocent until proven guilty. They or he/she was questioned,
that was all. The man who stabbed his wife claimed that he did not kill his ex-wife, but
yet he was taken to jail to await trial.
