It was a case whereby Zimmerman was acquitted for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin after forensic evidence coincided with the claims made by Zimmerman in his account of the events that surrounded the incident. In a verdict that saw the jury unanimously deliver the not guilty verdict in a second-degree murder case, it showed the changing role of forensic science in criminal investigations. Strategies used by forensic science laboratory management in the past to manage case workloads are no longer satisfactory to the public.

words underlying and inadequate. You could downgrade that sentence using neither instead of nor and not lacking the quality of instead of inadequate.This formal diction is used through the entire editorial from headline to subscript. Being written formal this article should be something to take seriously and not just anyway. Diction helps create the bias by establishing the author 's ethos.

editor reinforces this concept when he tells him, “‘Type it out. You’re paid to be a reporter, not a memory chip’” (Ndibe, 17). His emphasis on the documentation of storytelling mirrors my own methodology. Just like the investigation of Femi, I was tasked with exposing the stories surrounding the train station and compiling its history to unearth the truth.

In the introduction to the 46 page document explaining the Inquiry, Lord Leveson made sure to mention “the investigation and any prosecution should not be prejudiced by [the Inquiry’s] work”, and this sentiment is again repeated when talking in greater detail about the police’s relationship with the press…
