Ronald Catt, and his two children, Hayden and Abby were arrested for the robbing of a bank in Texas on October 1. Ronald and Hayden entered the bank with disguises and guys, and left the premises with Abby driving the getaway car. Both children were legal adults, meaning jail time and a set bail bond for each criminal.
Alyssa Newcomb, the writer of the article, did not do a good job of describing the events, epecially when describing a break in the case in which police authorities tracked the bright orange vests the two men were wearing to a local Home Depot. It is not clear if these were meant to be the disguises, or if they were merely wearing these at some point in the investigation and it provided useful in the case. By doing this, she appears to have a lack of credibility, diminishing her ethos as a reporter. She ends the article with a quote from a friend of the family's, saying that the family was very much involved in the community, but antecedes that with the bail bonds set for each family member. This establoshes pathos in that she shows a strong dislike for the family, and that even with their friend's statement, they are still convicted criminals, and do not deserve respect.
