Mr. Stevens Wasn T Foolproof

670 Words3 Pages

Mr. Stevens isn’t guilty. The evidence against Stevens wasn’t foolproof. The Prosecutor didn’t have enough compelling evidence against him that couldn’t be contradicted. The officers, and everyone on the case, tried too hard to find the culprit, and with that overlooked facts. Didn’t look at all possible evidence, and dismissed the idea of another suspect altogether. The state's most compelling evidence is that of the coat, they found evidence of Mr. Rodgers DNA on the bottom of the coat. The problem with this is that the defense proved the point that if he had murdered Mr. Rodgers, then blood would have been all over the jacket, which there wasn’t. Equally important to point out is that they should have searched for shoes, and pants when they scoured his house. Considering they both should have had blood residue or particulates on them. They stated that he could have taken the jacket off, but it’s a suspicion. If a man brutally murders another man and took the time to dispose of all of his clothes that he wore the night of the murder, and did it intentionally to cover his tracks then why didn’t he also just dispose of the jacket too. I also believe in what the defense said when it came to the transfer …show more content…

It was very evident that the man in the first picture had better posture, and a clean shave, plus the distinct white beanie. In the second one, the man was more hunched over. He appeared to have a dark beard, and mustache. The man in the first picture is definitely Mr. Stevens, the second man however is not stevens, and it is extremely obvious. What gets me the most is that the hat is missing. A white hat. If he had left it behind or tossed it out on his escape from the crime scene, then why didn’t police find it? If he had gotten blood on the hat it would have been very distinct, and noticeable, yet no one looked or thought to wonder where the hat

    They also find problems with evidence involving Teresa's RAV4, which was found on the Avery property, saying that there was a car crusher on location in the Avery Junkyard, and that any reasonable person would have destroyed the car, since they would’ve known that it could have been used as evidence against them. A great point is also brought up by them regarding Steven's blood being found in the car, saying that there were no fingerprints found in the car belonging to Steven, and that he would have needed to wear gloves, and even if he had worn gloves, then there would have been no way possible that he could have bled from his finger. It also doesn't make sense that the police suddenly found evidence in Avery's garage on March 1st of 2006, the bullet casings, even though they had been searching for 4 months prior without finding a shred of physical evidence. Lenk was also there when the search of the garage had happened, even though he was never even authorized to be there. And since he had mishandled a previous case that involved Steven Avery, which led to a wrong conviction that landed Steven Avery in an 18-year prison sentence for rape, a crime he didn’t commit, he was deposed as a result and relieved of his duties while also being sued by Avery on the basis of his wrongful conviction.

    A knife, the so called murder weapon did have limited amounts of DNA from both Knox and the victim , but was found to not be compatible with the wounds on the body and contained no trace of blood. A bra clasp belonging to the bra cut off of the victim during the murder had such trace amounts of Sollecito’s DNA that it could only be tested once. It wasn’t until a week after the crime that the clasp was even found, by that time there had been so much activity at the crime scene cross contamination is a great possibility. Prosecutors also claim that a bloody footprint on a bathroom rug belonged to Sollecito, again it was so distorted it could not be confirmed to be a definite match. A majority of attention in the courtroom was place on the inappropriate, risqué, flirtatious behavior between Knox and Sollecito after the murder and at the time of questioning.

    Steven Avery is a well known name in the criminal courts and known for many crimes. Burning a family cat, running his cousin off the road and pointing a gun at her, beating and raping Penny Bernsteen. Although his name is quite common, and he has some faults did he really murder Teresa Halbach? I believe that Steven Avery is innocent, he did not do it. A lot of the information and evidence seems to be misleading or deceiving.

The only thing that could connect Scott to the murder of his wife and son was the DNA evidence that was found, was one of Laci’s hair on his boat. They believed that a cult had murdered Laci in some sort of ritual for sacrifice. The defense pointed out that there was no cause of death, no time of death, no murder weapon, no evidence as to how she was killed, no crime scene, no eyewitnesses, no confessions. The defense also pointed out that the defendant had an alibi.

    The smell in the trunk of the car was tested and contained a large amount of chloroform and key compounds of human decomposition. Evidence is evidence but not all evidence is good, but the “smell of death” that was in the trunk could have been used as good evidence to the case. Why? Because they did not have any other good evidence to prove that she killed her daughter, but that one piece of evidence alone could have convicted her of murdering her daughter.

  • Was Mr. Smith Committed The Legal Definition Of Insanity?

    970 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the trial of Mr. Smith, there is no question of whether or not he committed the gruesome murder of Mr. Johnson; the question is in the sanity of Mr. Smith at the time the murder was committed. You may be thinking, “Why on Earth would you think Mr. Smith was sane? He killed a man because his eye was creepy!” While Mr. Smith did kill someone for what seems like an absurd reason, this does not make him insane. The legal definition of insanity is “a mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot manage his/her own affairs, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior....

Holmes was not mentioned, but he “wrote of capital punishment as an important tool of justice” (NBC- Justice is Death). “Repealing the death penalty would result in acts similar to those in Newtown, Connecticut, or the acts of Tim McVeigh being punished no differently than a single murder of one gang member by another,” the prosecutor wrote (The Denver

    In regards to the Brent Small case, I personally believe that Mr. Smalls shouldn't be found guilty due to the lack of evidence. Although there was a witness who saw what happened, the evidence isn’t consistent with the case. The vehicle did match the description but the witness was unsure of the license plate and the damage to the vehicle isn’t significant to the crime committed. I don't believe that the evidence is strong enough to convict Mr. Smalls.

  • Blood Spatter Research Paper

    1150 Words  | 5 Pages

    In a murder case where an 18-year-old, Sarah Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for committing a first degree murder for both her and dad. The case reopened when a retired crime lab technician Michael Howard “testified that whoever shot Diane and Alan Johnson at close range on September 2, 2003, would have been hit by a "rain" of blood spatter” (http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/03/johnson/index.html?eref=sitesearch). Howard came up with his theories proving that, Sarah was not even close in committing those murders and it is a wrongful conviction. Based on blood spatter, Howard disclosed that the shooting which took place was at a very close range and blood would have been all over the assailant, where as there was no blood pattern found on Sarah’s clothes. In fact, the pajama pant, Sarah was wearing on the day of shooting had no trace of her parent’s DNA or blood.
