Baumer's Guilty Of Purposeful Killing Mr. Slade

Gentlemen of the jury, thank you for listening so intently to this trial. Baumer is guilty of purposefully killing Mr. Slade.

This goes back to my first argument when Baumer says,”He can’t even read.” Baumer knew that because Slade would steal the alcohol and not read the label, Slade would drink the poison. This makes Slade
