He was then sentenced to death” and “ after which prosecutors accused Dorsey of sexually assaulting his cousin” these sentences try to get a strong emotional response out of the person reading and interpret Dorsey’s guilt. In the article, it includes what Dorsey’s attorney has said, I feel like as a reader myself and for other readers this makes them think as if this execution was wrongly done, to support my thought and anal...
