    The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position. The author does not provide any evidence or quotes from peer-reviewed studies to back up the claims made in the article. Instead, they rely on anecdotal evidence from friends of Nicole Brown Simpson. Additionally, there is emotional manipulation through the use of phrases like 'he was watching all the time' and 'she always thought he was gonna hurt her'. The author also uses sensational language such as 'stalked' and 'harassed' to create a dramatic effect.

  • Fallacies (80%)
    The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that OJ Simpson 'stalked' Nicole Brown Simpson and 'harassed' her. This is an appeal to emotion and can be considered an informal fallacy. The author also quotes Faye Resnick saying that OJ was 'spying on her a lot' and 'stalking, hiding in the bushes.' These statements are being reported as facts, but they are actually assertions made by the interviewee. This can be considered a dichotomous depiction if it is implied that OJ could not have been near Brown without stalking her. However, there is no clear evidence presented in the article that OJ was actually hiding in the bushes or stalking Nicole Brown Simpson at the time she was murdered.

          The author does not make any explicit fallacious statements in the article. However, there are some instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to emotion. The title of the article itself, 'The Life & Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson wants you to see her as more than just a victim', is an appeal to emotion as it attempts to elicit sympathy for Nicole Brown by framing her as more than just a victim. Additionally, the author quotes Denise and Dominique Brown expressing anger about how the media depicted Nicole, which can be seen as inflammatory rhetoric. However, these instances do not significantly detract from the overall quality of the article and do not warrant a significant reduction in score.
