Media Trial of Shauna Tiaffay

A woman named Shauna Tiaffay lived in Las Vegas and was killed on Septmeber 29,2012. Shauna was a mother who was ambushed by Noel Scott Stevens. Noel was a homeless man who lived in the desert. The Clark County prosecutors alleged that Shauna’s murder was ordered by her husband named George Tiaffay. He offered to pay the man $5,000 dollars to kill her. George is now serving a life sentence with no possibility of parole for murder and conspiracy charges in the death of his estranged wife according to news3lv. Noel has served his time and is an ex-convict.

This case fits into the category of sinful rich. This is because George used his money to get his wife killed. According to the textbook, it says that the media coverage aims to persuade the public that they are being given a rare glimpse into the backstage sordid world of the upper class and powerful.

This also somewhat falls into the category of evil stranger because a man was willing to a woman he did not know for money.

I think this case caught the publics attention because it was a woman who was killed in Las Vegas. According to a news cite it said Las Vegas is known for having violence towards women. It was a young woman who was a mother and she was killed in order by her husband. This will always catch the publics attention. This was aired on 48 hours infotainment TV show.

IT was newsworthy and relevant because it was a very interesting case. A man hired another man to kill his wife. This doesn’t happen very often and so when it does it catches the medias attention and is newsworthy.

The ideas about the criminal justice system showed in this case was that they did they job. They got the man who did wrong into prison and gave him a well deserved sentence. I do not think they gave Noel a strong enough sentence considering he is already an ex-convict. I think he deserved more than that.
