K's feedback:

"This is a very interesting research paper on people's obsession with true crime stories. This paper is well-organized and easy to read. You do a fine job at evaluating the various aspects of true crime, and your section on vicarious catharsis is particularly well-developed. To improve this essay, please check to ensure there are no inconsistencies. For example, in your opening sentence, you indicate that true crime "became a household name" with the OJ trial, but later note that "true crime is based in history, going as far back as...Jack the Ripper". You should also include figure titles and captions for the graphics. For example, "Visual Aid 1" should be something like "Figure 1. A screenshot of a popular online comic about people's obsession with true crime". This paper would benefit from a round of editing."
