Practice News Story #4: Court

Two burglar suspects headed to court.
Posted: 10:02 a.m. MST, February 6, 2007

LOGAN, Utah- Two burglary suspects were apprehended and taken into custody in the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 3rd. The prosecutor, district attorney, Noel Mayfield, told us that Jim Michaels and a juvenile have had a preliminary hearing from a burglary that occurred on Jan. 30, 2006 at an LDS church. She said that 35-year-old Jim Michaels, who is a resident of Logan is facing felony burglary. The trial date is set for Feb. 21, 2006. Mr. Micahels posted a $5,000 bond to be released until trial.

Robbie Cochran the defense attorney who was appointed to this case told us that his client feels that these charges are fallacious. He told us that his client, Mr. Michaels plans to enter a not guilty plea.

There is no information being released on the other suspect where he is a juvenile, but we were informed that they would be tried separately and his parents have asked for privacy.

Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty informed us that they found ample fingerprint evidence of the two suspects. He said that they are continuing the investigation and it is likely that Mr. Michaels will be charged with more.

Great job! You always seem to do a good job with the inverted pyramid. You know how to get all of the major information in. Good use of quotes; I believe you used them to help your story!! Also, way to make the story long! Good Job!

I like what you wrote. Try to stay in third person though. Don't use "us" or "we" too much, if at all. The quotes you used were well placed. I also like how you followed up on the previous story. Overall I'd say you did a fine job.
