Reflection

-I personally actually enjoyed finding and writing about all of the articles.  They are all about crime which i find to be very interesting and entertaining.  It always catches my eye and wonder how some of the people can do what they do.
-The article i liked reading about was "German youth got smarter".  I was happy to find out that it had its lowest % of teens that smoke.
-What surprised me were all the different articles that each student found from either Germany, Swiss, etc.  I found out a lot of interesting things.
-There's really not much with this project that i would change.  I like doing what we do now.  Also I like how we switch it up and not just find articles from Germany.

Taxi robber suspect tracked down 10 years on

A 39 year-old-woman was finally caught and arrested for robbing and injuring a taxi driver in 2001.  Cold case investigators double-checked DNA databases and unsolved crime cases.  The victim also took part in a burglary in 2004.  She denies both of the crimes still even though she got caught with both of them.

In my opinion, the woman should just own up to what she did because obviously they caught her.  She is still going to get punished no matter what, if she denies it or not.  Hopefully she will go to jail for a bit since she has prior records.  I know these type of crimes in the U.S., the victim would be doing some jail time.
