In the case of Tommy Blue he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. As a juror, I believe that Tommy Blue is guilty because a majority of the factual evidence in the case incriminates Mr.Tommy Blue. To start off, a .38 caliber revolver went missing from the Blue’s residence days before the crime and the same gun was the murder weapon as testified by coroner Judy Morte. Although this .38 revolver was not recovered at the scene of the crime or found at any other site it is not highly likely that it was merely coincidental that the same gun used to murder Ms.Williams, was the only gun to go missing from the Blue’s residence where Tommy resides. Another item relevant to the case is the bolt cutters found by Officer Fuzzy Dunlop at Ms.Agnes Williams

After days of people being scared to death and much confusion, investigators discovered that there were two suspects in the shootings; John Allen Muhammad and his teenage partner Lee Boyd Malvo and they were in a blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan designed to terrorize people. This break in the case came when one of the suspects called the tip hotline and told them to look into a murder in Alabama, which lead to the case being
I am writing a letter to complain about how the homicide case of Emmett Till in August-September 1955, And how the trail of Roy Bryant and J.W.

I request a mistrial and a redo if you will, on the Emmett Till murder case on a new not as racist judicial system so the family that is still alive can
Finally, Wayne Williams took the stand and testified, which resulted in very unfavorable attention from the jury (The Atlanta, n.d.). His angry and combative demeanor on the witness stand left jury members with little sympathy (The Atlanta, n.d.). It only took the jury approximately ten hours to deliberate and reach a guilty verdict, however, if the fiber evidence was not presented I do not believe the deliberation would have been so quick and most likely would have resulted in a not guilty

Leonard Peltier’s Innocence Leonard Peltier was a Native American man arrested for supposedly killing two FBI agents on Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota. There have been many debates about the integrity of the court cases and the lawfulness of Peltier’s arrest. Many FBI supporters would claim that there were eyewitness accounts and various other pieces of material evidence that show that Peltier was the culprit. However, Peltier supporters would rebut the evidence, saying that the eyewitness accounts aren’t legitimate and the court decision was politically influenced. I will consider both sides of the argument, and show that Peltier’s innocence is evident because the evidence provided against Peltier was falsified and the FBI used disingenuous methods in charging Peltier for murder.
