Guilty To Jury Members: David Eldiridge

692 Words | 3 Pages

Dear Jury Members: In my opinion, David Eldiridge should be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of murder. Although the defense claims that he is innocent of this crime, they are incorrect because Eldridge had motive to kill Mr. Armes, there was no sign of a break-in, but all the money was gone and he had the key, and lastly, a witness had placed him at the scene near the time of the murder and his footprints were all around the body. First, David Eldridge had the motive to kill Mr. Armes because he was very angry after Mr. Armes hadn’t given him a raise and he needed money because the bank was going to repossess his house, so he could have stolen the recipe and robbed him to get the money. David was the only one that could get into the restaurant and rob Mr. Armes since he has the keys and the combo to the safe.

Mr. Corliss Case

901 Words | 4 Pages

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.

Mr Bennet Should Not Be Found Guilty

343 Words | 2 Pages

Mr. Bennet should not be found guilty because there is beyond reasoning that Mr. Bennet did not kill Mr. Armes. Although the prosecution thinks he's guilty, the evidence shows that he's not. For example, one reason why he's not guilty is that it could have been the exterminator because he came over the same day Mr. Armes died and he could've put the rat poison in his coffee. The strongest piece of evidence in this case is that the spilled coffee had rat poisoning in it. Mr. Bennet should not be found guilty of the crime of Mr. Armes' death because reasonable doubt exists.

This brings into question the severity and extent to which Robert Harris should be held accountable for his actions. There are two different ends of the morality spectrum through which Harris can be found guilty: moral responsibility and criminal responsibility. This is where the different theories on moral responsibility truly come into play. While none of these philosophical arguments would hold up in court, it does make the decisions made by Robert Harris seem much more complicated than it first appeared.

He didn’t know what to do; he could either tell the truth about Dennis, playfully sending his little brother on a wild goose chase by making the weakest kid of the school hold on to them, or get rid of the bully once and for all, by telling Mr. Caston his own version of the story. He pondered whether or not he should lie about Denny. His heart kept telling him, “you won’t get away with it,” but the anger he had towards the bully overcame his rational thoughts. He thought to himself, “Denny has a pretty bad reputation, so Mr. Caston would probably believe any freak story to get rid of him.” Kenny thought for a second longer, and he came up with an ingenious
