Similar to when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his family he didn’t escape charges just how I think Mr. Armstrong shouldn’t escape. In the case of our victim William “Doodle” Armstrong we have our murderer who was an adored brother of William. Mr. Armstrong couldn’t accept the fact William had inabilities and forced him into ‘fixing’ his disabilities. William wasn’t given the choice of declining his brothers advances in improving his mobility. As the days went by of William’s brother pushing him to and beyond his limits Mr. Armstrong still gave no mercy to little William. How would you feel if a family member you loved pushed you to your limits every waking moment just because they couldn’t accept you?
Mr. Armstrong had intent to commit murder

He also didn’t give William an opportunity to refuse by scaring him into it. This is an illegal action classified as intimidation. I have evidence of three events where Mr. Armstrong used a scare tactic as a method of convincing my deceased client into actions he never had the opportunity to decline. First occurrence started with my client saying “I can’t walk brother” “Oh you can walk” said Mr. Armstrong after picking William up by his arms standing his up. William then collapsed onto the grass in Mr. Armstrong’s words “like a half-empty flower sack as if he had no bones in his little legs”. Mr. Armstrong didn’t let William respond before forcing him into standing then letting him fall which could’ve possibly seriously injured him. How would you feel if your family member made you do something you was scared to do putting you in a situation you could've been hurt? The second time this occurred was when Mr. Armstrong made my client swim until he turned blue and row until he couldn’t lift an oar. He also walked fast purposely and although my client keeps up his face would turn red and his eyes became glazed. Yet when William could go no farther he would collapse on the ground and cry. This resulted in Mr. Armstrong saying “aw come on, doodle, you can do it. Do you want to be different from everyone else when you start school?”. William was completely and utterly tortured another action that turns your body blue is lack of oxygen how was it know he had enough oxygen. My client in those moments could’ve died of lack of oxygen a brutal death in my opinion not being able to breathe suffering gasping for air. This is a major piece of evidence that should compel you to charge Mr. Armstrong guilty for the intimidation of my client William Armstrong. Now I will share the last reason I have for the
