Vivian Ohsann 118 Park Lane Circle Park View, IA 52748. April 23, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: Did you know some of the most common reasons for committing murder are because of jealousy, revenge, fear, and anger? It is, and these were things that were definitely not going through Mr. Bennetts head as he checked the cold, dead body of Mr. Adams for a pulse, and that was all he did. Mr. Bennett should not be found guilty of murder in the first degree because reasonable doubt exists. The prosecution may claim Mr. Bennett is guilty, but they are incorrect because there are multiple other possibilities, like Mr. Alferro’s fingerprints on the cup of coffee that Mr. Adams was drinking the night he died, and the fact that Mr. Adams also had very poor eyesight, and the rat poison that killed him was stored right by the sugar and creamer for coffee in the lounge cabinet. …show more content…

Alferro’s fingerprints were on the cup of coffee that Mr. Adams was drinking the night he died. Rat poison is also the cause of death. Only the exterminators have access to the rat poison, and Mr. Alferro is an exterminator that has used rat poison in the house before. Mr. Alferro also gave Mr. Adams his cup of coffee. Clearly, Mr. Alferro had multiple possibilities of poisoning Mr. Adams’ cup of coffee. Meanwhile Mr. Bennett had no access to the rat poison that killed Mr. Adams, and Mr. Bennett also didn’t have any access to Mr. Adams’ cup of coffee either, meanwhile Mr. Alferro literally gave Mr. Adams the cup of coffee. These facts all together, leave other possibilities for what could have happened on this horrible

William Warden, a witness in this case, saw David Eldridge enter the restaurant before Mr Armes's death and an hour later Mr Armes's screams were heard. In addition, after a while, he decided to check out the restaurant and found Mr. Armes dead. If David Eldridge did not commit the crime then why did someone witness him with their own eyes entering the restaurant before Mr Armes was dead and then the witness found him dead a while after screams were heard from Mr Armes? The next reason is that there was no sign of a break-in and David and Mr Armes were the only people with keys.

Dudley’s statements contained inconsistencies. Further, it led to the belief that Dudley was simply trying to exonerate himself as a witness when giving his statement against Moir. In addition to Dudley, another key witness Mr. Gordon’s statements also had inconsistencies. Gordon claimed that he had given a shovel to Moir prior to Acorn’s death. This may lead the jury to believe that Moir’s involvement in Acorn’s murder was planned and deliberate (para. 27).

James King is one of two people being tried for the murder of Alguinaldo Nesbitt, as well as the robbery of his drugstore. He is guilty of felony murder, and there is much evidence to support this verdict. Bobo Evans, another perpetrator of this crime, “places Mr. King in the drugstore with him on the 22nd of December. This testimony was backed up by Lorelle Henry” (Myers 256-257). This is significant because Henry is a reliable witness, and she is an elderly, retired librarian with no criminal activity.

David Eldridge had wanted a raise from Mr. Armes forever and never got one, which gives him the perfect incentive to do something insane. The prosecution is correct in this case. Mr. Eldridge killed Mr. Armes because reasonable evidence exists. The strongest piece of evidence for this case to prove that David Eldridge is guilty is that he stole a spatula and never gave it back to Mr. Arms, who was killed by a spatula.

Dear Jury Members: David Eldridge should be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the murder of Mr. Arms. The evidence against Eldridge is his prints were found at the scene of the crime, there was no sign of a forced entry, and that he had asked Mr. Arms for a raise after working at the Family Fun restaurant for years but he was denied, leaving him to get upset and he has been heard saying negative things about Mr. Arms. The strongest reason in the case of David Eldridge is that Mr. Eldridge's prints were found at the crime scene and there had been no sign of any form of break-in. Police investigators had found fingerprints on the spatula that was used to murder Mr. Arms and came to the conclusion that the prints belonged to David Eldridge.

To defend Mr. Corliss against his murder charge by using Illinois’ self-defense stature, we must prove that Mr. Corliss “reasonably believe[d] that deadly force was necessary to prevent great bodily harm to himself.” There is no real dispute that Mr. Corliss believed force was necessary because he was scared enough to have brought a gun to the party in the first place. This memorandum will discuss only the issue of showing that this belief was reasonable. As referenced In re S.M., Illinois courts consider two factors to conclude the reasonableness of the defendant’s belief that deadly force is necessary to avoid great bodily harm.

I graduated from Reynolds High School in 2015 and I have always wanted to go back and teach there. Personally, I thought that Reynolds' technology guidelines were thoroughly thought out and well written. That being said, as a future parent and educator I did have some concerns. For the most part, I felt that the guidelines covered everything I would have thought of if I were to create technology guidelines for a school district. For example, in the first part, they described piece by piece what I assume to be their technology mission statement.
