Moussaoui sentenced to life in prison
Moussaoui sentenced to life in prison
What's the difference between these two stories? Well, the first one contains several quotes from people who felt the jury verdict was reasonable. It also has a discussion of mitigating factors in the case that may have affected the verdict.
The second one includes several quotes from people who wanted the death penalty (one expressing the wish that someone would murder Moussaoui in prison), as well as an implication that the reason the jury didn't choose that punishment was because of "deep divisions that mark the issue of capital punishment in our country", and not the actual facts of the case.
Also, the first article was written for a Canadian news website, and the second one was done for CNN.
