2 convicted killers mistakenly released from Florida prison


I read an article on foxnews.com which makes a fact claim that 2 convicted killers were released from prison because of the erroneous paperwork.

The author mainly uses ethos to enhance the credibility of the article. At the beginning of the article, the author states the fact claim first and gives the name of the prison and the reason. Then the author provides the 2 convicted killers' names "Charles Walker and Joseph Jenkins" by using Orlando Sentinel's words, which well-used ethos to convince the audience. After that, the author gives more background about those two convicted killers, one named "Walker" was serving a life sentence due to 1999 killing, and the other named “Jenkins” was serving a life sentence due to the 1998 murder of a father of six children according to the reports from the newspaper. Then the author quotes from Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jessica Car  and argues that those two crimes were released because officers didn’t notice the falsified documentation. At the end of the article, the author claims that  the Florida Department of Law Enforcement began to investigate this incident and uses the Florida Department of Corrections Secretary's words to suggest that people should not worry too much about this.
