Excerpt:

Bentonville police announced Monday evening that they have made an arrest in the slaying of a 6-year-old girl whose body was found two days before Thanksgiving. Jersey Bridgeman was reported missing the morning of Nov. 20, and her body was found a short time later in an abandoned house two doors from her home. Jersey previously had been at the center of a case that saw her father and stepmother sentenced to prison for abuse that included chaining the girl to a dresser. Authorities have not said how Jersey was killed. Police said they will name the suspect at a news conference Monday night in Bentonville. A search of her neighborhood near downtown turned up the girl's body within minutes. Jersey's death came about a year after abuse allegations were leveled against her father and stepmother in nearby Rogers.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
