In the Jackson Trial article, the entire lede was too dramatic for my taste. It sensationalized the story more than needed. The last bit, "a jury decided Monday," was necessary in the lede, but by putting it after the story of Jackson's doctor, the writer made it seem less important in a way. It just bothered me and it's difficult to put into words. In the Wal-mart/Banks article I think the writer should have started with Geoffrey Cardone's story instead of the lede they chose. If they delayed the lede a bit by telling the story of this everyday man I would have been more interested.
