528 Words3 Pages

Mr. Bennett should be found not guilty because there is strong evidence that shows that he did not kill Mr. Adams. There is reasonable doubt that has been put against him but, there is also reasoning and evidence that he is not the one who killed Mr. Adams and that someone else has framed him for their actions. The strongest piece of evidence in this case was that if Mr.Bennet had killed Mr.Adams, he wouldn’t have checked his pulse because he would’ve already known he was dead and wouldn’t have had to check his pulse. Mr.Bennett states that he checked his pulse which shows evidence that he did not kill Mr.Adams because he would've already known he was dead. This evidence proves my claim because we all know that if you did kill someone with …show more content…

Mack had been staying around Mr. Adams drinking a lot that night. He had been standing by the drink that night, which shows reasonable evidence Mr. Mack could’ve poisoned Mr. Adams. This evidence is supportive because it shows that Mr. Mack could also be a suspect and obviously could’ve killed Mr. Adams. After all, he had been around Mr. Adams drinking a lot the night of the party. A third piece of evidence is that Mr. Alfaro's fingerprints were also found on the cup, which may have something to do with the rat poisoning. 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

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).

There was overwhelming evidence to show that Stone had earlier beaten Stone and declared him a dead snitch. Additionally, when he was last seen, the deceased was in the company of Towler, the same man who had earlier beaten him and who had a motive to kill him. Although there was evidence that Stone could have died from other causes that were nor crime related, the introduction of evidence by the prosecution on criminal agency were sufficient to convict Towler. On the action of the district attorney seizing documents from Towler without a warrant or the consent of the defense counsel, the same cannot warrant the dismissal of a case or the watering down of evidence presented (Gardner & Anderson, 2009). The prosecution evidence presented clearly proves that Towler had

David Eldridge should be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the murder of Mr. Arms. Although the defense claims he is not guilty, he and Mr. Arms were the only ones who knew the code to the safe, they were also the only ones in the building at the time of the murder, and William Warden saw David Eldridge walk into the building before he heard Mr. Arms scream and saw his dead body. My first and strongest piece of evidence is that Mr. Arms was killed with a spatula that had David Eldridge's fingerprints on it. It has been proven that Mr. Arms' throat was slit with a metal spatula and that he bleed to death. Also, the spatula was next to Mr. Arms's body.

Dear Jury Members: Mr. Eldridge should be found guilty of murdering Mr. Armes with a kitchen spatula and there is sound reasoning to back up this claim. Although the defense claims that Mr. Eldridge is not guilty, they are wrong because David Eldridge’s footprints were found all over the grease which was found all over the crime scene, also Mr. Eldridge was very mad about not getting a raise that morning, and Mr. Armes got into a very big argument on the morning of the murder. Those are the sound reasons that I know back up the claim that Mr. David Eldridge did commit the crime of killing Mr. Armes with a kitchen spatula. First, Mr. Eldridge should be found guilty because Sandy Smith stated that Mr. Eldridge’s business was not doing well financially

So someone washed their hands to get rat poison off of their hands, and Mr. Bennett said that he was NOT outside at all. So the person who killed Mr.Adams was Mr.Alfredo. The police noted in the trial that Mr.Bennett was never outside and said that Mr.Adams had bad eyesight. Then again, the only person with rat poison was the exterminator, Mr. Alfredo. I believe he might have left the rat poison next to the sugar

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.

Bennet was the cold-blooded murderer who killed Mr. Adams. They might think this because he was in debt to Mr. Adams, but as Mr. Bennet stated in the case, he wasn’t going out to murder Mr. Adams.

Next, Mr. Bennett had gloves with him when Mr. Adams was killed. Mr. Bennett would have worn those gloves if he was the one to kill Mr. Adams so he could cover up the fact he did it, but he wasn’t seen wearing his gloves at all. Mr. Bennett was with his friend most of the party and wasn’t seen wearing his gloves. He also was working very hard to get the money he owed Mr. Adams and if he planned on killing him, he wouldn’t have wasted his time working extra jobs. The prosecution will try to convince you that Mr. Bennett is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but they failed to provide enough evidence.
