In this article Josh Voorhees writes on June 3rd, about how George
Zimmerman claims he did not video record two buddies of his beating up a
homeless man. Voorhees starts out his article by talking about the pre-trial
that happened in the past week, where the defense lawyer told the court that
Zimmerman took footage of his friends “beating up a homeless guy.” To
contradict the defense lawyer, Zimmerman’s team claims that he taped two
homeless men fighting over a bicycle. Voorhees then says that the revelation
did not come to much effect because the judge; Debra s. Nelson, had already put
restrictions on what the defense could and could not tell the jury about
Martin. This would restrict Zimmerman’s team of talking about how Martin used
drugs, being suspended from school and also past fighting events. Voorhees
continues to explain that this debate would still be decided and soon he would
be pronounced guilty or innocent. Voorhees ends by saying that the texts and
other footage that Zimmerman would have to be considered in as a second degree
murder. The defense team said that his finance would have to start at $75
million to give Zimmerman a chance at fighting.
In this article Voorhees rapidly talks about how Zimmerman and his
lawyers claim that the footage in his cellphone was two homeless men fighting
for a bicycle. Voorhees restates the full statement to emphasize the importance
of the trial and show how the Zimmerman’s lawyer had the right things to say,
to contradict what the defense attorney said against him. He also says that
since both sides want to prove Zimmerman’s innocence or guilt, they have been
trying to get the message out to the public. Voorhees to end his article, he
shows the price tag that the defense attorney ironically states, and then says “at
least $75,000, to give George a fighting chance." This is a very
short yet clean cut essay, where Voorhees states his thesis and provides
evidence for it. Although it is a very short article, he has a formal way of writing;
this also helps because he does not take any sides in his article. He shows
both sides of the trial and explains that both want to show the public what is
going on, and get their opinion.
