Class Assignment Finale

So, there were no updates after the last post.

Here are the times I checked and my notes:
2:12 p.m. no new updates
3:04 p.m. no new updates
5:41 p.m. Story still on homepage but no date or time stamps.

As for re-writing the top based on the online writing techniques we learned in class, here goes:

A Broward County jury convicted two men of second-degree murder for fatally beating a homeless man with a baseball bat and injuring two others.

Thomas Daugherty, 19, and Brian Hooks, 21, both of Plantation, also were found guilty of two counts of attempted second-degree murder in the Jan. 12, 2006 attacks on homeless men in Fort Lauderdale.Daugherty and Hooks will be sentenced on Oct. 22-23 and face life in prison.

Prosecutors sought first-degree murder convictions for both defendants, but the jury found them guilty of the lesser charge of second-degree murder.
