#3a Initial research topic: Should the media have access to professional athletes criminal sentencing? How will this influence the sentencing? Will this lead to an unfair judgement in public cases with similar crimes?

#3b Need to narrow topic down to explore options to argue previous athlete legal cases compared to public cases. this will help provide fact based cases to compare and contrast sentencing between the two. Will also need to provide an argument on whether to support or oppose sentencing pro athletes harsher than public due to celebrity status.

#3c should professional athletes have separate criminal sentencing than the general public?
