Murder trial gets under way for a second time—September 10, 2009—by Keith Epps

This article explains about how Toronto Eura's second trial began the previous day after a mistrial in June due to an impartial juror. It also explains his charge of first degree murder for killing Jamiar Ellis over a woman. The article itself is small, but long enough to necessitate a continuation onto the back page. Each sentence is its own paragraph, which gives the article an appealing appearance. The article flows in a logical manner, from starting with the current news of the start of Eura's second trial, to why he needed a new trial, to what's happening so far in this trail, to the case itself. However, it says that Eura's first judge was Judge Gordon Willis and the person who positively identified Eura as the killer is a Jeffrey Willis, with no mention of whether they're related or not. It also concludes with a statement about heavy security at the city courthouse, as it was at the first trial, a seemingly random statement as security was mentioned no where else in the entire article.
