Cops and Court Example

1) The article has a good lead. It immediatly fills the reader up to date on the case and the subject matter is really interesting. The article is about a nurse who has been convicted of killing ten of her patients.

2) This was a good article but I thought it would have been very interesting if they could have put in quotes from the criminals family. The article is a little bit on the short side and It seems like there may be a bit more to tell in this story.

3) One small complaint I have is that I would've like to see a lilttle more description on the original case. They do a fairly good job in the article but it seems a bit more backstory would've fleshed it out nicely.

4) For the most part they cover things fairly well in dealing with the case. They have a good quote in the story from an FBI agent stating why he thought the murders took place. And i like how they included the information about the trial being moved and the corresponding reasons.

5) I like this article for multiple reasons. First off, the subject matter was very interesting and i think that maybe even with a bad lead people would still have wanted to read this story. However, the lead was solid as was the rest of the story. With a a small amount of more backstory, I think the article could be slightly improved.
