crime article review

This article is about the sentencing of the kid who killed his grandparents. Overall the article is good. It has multiple sources and quotes from a juror, the defendent, the judge, a prosecuter, one of the defendent's lawyers and a statement from Pfitzer, the company that makes Zoloft, the drug the defendent was supposedly taking. The information was relevant and it provided an explaination of the Zoloft debate well (if it made the kid more violent or not). The defendent's background information also added to the story as it helped illustrate his troubled life. Perhaps the most important details were in the antidepressant debate and why the jury decided the drug didn't affect the defendent's choice to kill. The article did describe him having to move to his grandparents house for "having trouble at home" twice, before later describing the trouble (which indirectly makes it a third time). This seems a little redundant and two times would have been enough. Perhaps more statements from the defendent would make the article more fair, but with the resouces the reporter had, it seems as fair as can be.
