In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, there is a lot of controversy over our legal-system, and how the government should handle the recent attacks. In the article, the author talks about how many people are saying that they feel bad for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and that they are empathetic toward him. The author of the article, unlike any other articles I've read regarding the Boston bombings, writes from a psychological standpoint which majorly effects the audience.
The audience is able to think about the psychological part of the crime, and stray away from the hard evidence supported against the brothers responsible. The author talks about how looks are a very important role in peoples feelings. In a study, many people stated that Tsarnaev looks like a good, friendly, kind man, all because he is attractive, whereas in other criminal cases, people despise those being tried in the court of law because of their unattractiveness. I think that the author has a very interesting standpoint, and is able to support his or her claim by going into the psychology behind the attack and straying away from the attack itself.
