Kasinsky Reading

My favorite part of the reading was "The Stuart Murder" case. When driving home from a birthing class his wife ends up being shot and killed. The husband tells police that she was shot by a unknown African American man who fled the scene. He gave the police a description of the man and the Police found a black man that fit his description and took him to jail. The detectives on the case were portrayed in the media as heroes. 3 months later Mr. Stuart was found dead in his home with a note saying he was the one who shot his wife. This just shows you how police aren't accurate in taking the right measurement in doing their job and how they are so quick at pointing their fingers at innocent people just to close a case. This also shows us that the media is willing to publish information that isn't true and backfires back in their face later on. But this also shows us how the media has to support the cops and their finding and how they couldn't work independently without the cops. They both have similar ways to project themselves.
