Heidi Mattoon 502 S. 5th St. Eldridge, IA 52748. May 9, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: Mr. Bennett should be found not guilty of murder because there is reasonable doubt. Although the prosecution claims he is guilty, they are incorrect because Mr. Alfaro was pouring a cup of coffee before Mr. Adams came in, Mr. Adams had trouble with his eyesight so he could have accidentally put rat poison in instead of sugar, and Mr. Bennett touched the coffee when he went to get Mr. Adams pulse. To begin, it wasn’t just Mr. Bennett’s fingerprints on the cup, Mr. Alfaro’s was, too. He also is an exterminator and the rat poison is only available to exterminators. He was found pouring a cup of coffee 5 minutes before Mr. Adams died. He was spending a lot of time with Mrs. Reid and she was the one who brought Mr. Alfaro to the party. First, Mr. Alfaro’s fingerprints were also found on the cup of coffee. The rat poison that was found in the coffee is only available to exterminators, and he is one.

Finally, Mr. Mack was around Mr. Adams coffee all night and he was talking to Mrs. Swanson when Mr. Adams went into the kitchen.

528 Words | 3 Pages

In the trial paper given to us, it states Mr. Alfaro’s fingerprints were also found on the cup, which may give a clue as to who killed him with rat poisoning. What could have happened is Mr. Alfaro grabbed Mr. Adam's cup, and poisoned it with rat poisoning and so when Mr. Adams went to get his coffee, he would’ve been poisoned by the rat poisoning Mr. Alfaro put in the cup. The evidence I have given shows that Mr. Bennett is not guilty and that this was all reasonable doubt put against him. There is evidence that shows Mr. Alfaro or Mr. Mack could’ve done it because first off, Mr. Alfaro was an exterminator, which could have been evidence to show that he could’ve put the poison in Mr. Adams's
