Pictures That Lie


From , I chose the picture of O.J. Simpson because his infamous murder trial is so controversial and well known. The picture was originally Simpson's mug shot from when he was first arrested. It was manipulated by Time magazine to appear darker than the original photo. They did this to make Simpson appear more "menacing". I think it did make it look like Simpson was an evil criminal, and when I first saw the manipulated picture, I immediately gave Simpson no benefit of the doubt.
