Introduction to the News Report
* Key information comes at the beginning *
- The most important information comes in the first sentence or two ( the lead )
The B.C Supreme Court is expected to decide Monday wether a who admitted killing his three children in Merritt should face life in prison.
- The information is presented most to least relevant
The fate of Allan Dwayne Schoenborn, 41, who has been tried on three counts of first-degree murder, is in the hands of B.C. Supreme Court Judge Robert Powers. Powers heard the case without a jury during the three-month trial in Kamloops.
- The reporter is not part of the story , ( the reporter writes , using " he", "she", "they", "I" or "me" )
Powers is expected to decide whether Schoenborn was driven by mental illness or more sinister motives when he stabbed his 10-year-old daughter to death and smothered his eight- and five-year-old sons, whose bodies were found in their mobile home in Merritt in April 2008.
The deaths shocked the small ranching community of Merritt, located about 270 kilometres northeast of Vancouver.
Defence lawyers argued that Schoenborn should not be held criminally responsible for the deaths because he is mentally ill.
- The reporter gives as many facts and details as possible .
The Crown, however, said the killings were an act of revenge against Schoenborn's estranged partner for refusing to renew her relationship with him.Allan Schoenborn pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of his children. (CBC)
Both the Crown and the defence had psychiatrists testify about Schoenborn's mental state leading up to and during the slayings.
The defence expert cited Schoenborn's history of schizophrenia and said he was delusional when he killed his children.
The Crown's psychiatrist agreed the defendant suffered from mental illness but said it was not possible to tell whether he was of sound mind the night of the killings.
- Reporters try to include either direct or indirect quotations .
This happen in British Columbia , and a father of three kids , 2 boys 1 girl ; that he murdered .
