D.C. Sniper Is to Be Executed on Tuesday

Title: D.C. sniper is to be executed on tuesday
Author: David Stout
Date: November 9, 2009

Summary:
This article talks about how the judicial process was being rushed because the death was placed so soon on tuesday for a leathal injection. Virginia has the nation's second-busiest death chamber, right behind Texas'. The upcoming death is for Mr. Muhammad; his 17 year old accompliss was placed under a life sentence in prison. The governor can intervene and stop the death tuesday and has agreed to review the case, but he signaled that he isn't inclined to intervene on his death.

Critique:
There aren't that many quotes used in the article from people, and this is basically just straight forward information without much substance. It's short and the reader would probably lose focus at the title because the words weren't strong enough to keep you reading. It was informative and a news article, but this could have been so much better.
