Shantericca Madden: Confession Of A Killer
The New York Times really does bring some amazing stuff to the table. A feature on their website today covers, in impressive breadth and scope, the March 3, 2011 murder of Middle Tennessee State University women's basketball player Tina Stewart by her roommate Shanterrica Madden. The first piece is a telling of both women's stories using firsthand accounts of those who know them best, close friends and relatives. Alongside that is a 40 minute video of Madden's confession to murdering her roommate during her police interrogation. The Times does an excellent as always, providing a transcript that runs in real-time with the video as well as an interactive time bar that allows you to jump through the video to what you want to see, each section labeled. It's powerful stuff, a strong reminder sports is not life, just merely an aspect of it.
