1. The headline's point is that the evidence provided from science has set people free of death row due to critical evidence that was once unavailable and that because of politics, a number of innocent people have been sentanced to death.
2. I think the picture is kind of morbid and it reminds me of a 'Saw' movie. The immage shows a more inhumane side of capital punishment and in relation to the text presents a more graphic picture of procecuting innocent people
3. I think it appeals primarily to emotions because the picture is disturbing, the way the text is worded seems to be aimed at the unfairnes of the capital punishment convictions. The article called it a plague, and had a personal paragraph about this guy named Ronald that sounded pretty emotional. It is also a little logical in saying that the evidence found helps prove people not guilty and calling the system that is deeply flawed
4. The ad says that Illinois capital ounishment is riddled with faulty evidence among with other off kilter factors. The points made about Ronald and Anthony show examples of how the unfairness took place. If there were another point of view within the article about how capital punishment may be an okay thing the article would seem less overly one sided and I would be able to buy into thier article more.
Journal Entry: I believe that your ad is very convincing. Capital Punishment is an extremely unjust thing when the person is innocent. I also think that precautions and more thorough investigations should be executed when dealing with a person's life. Your ad stated that the Illinois's system was "riddled with faulty evidence". Without faulty evidence and the advances in technology, we can prevent misleading evidence.
