In 1999 an eighteen year old girl named Hae Min Lee went missing from Baltimore, Maryland. Her ex boyfriend Adnan Syed was accused of murdering her and disposing her body in Leakin park. The problem is that all the evidence used to persecute Adnan does not add up to make a strong case.
Homicide: the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another person. To you does this word fit in the events that have happened. It was obvious Tom my client was not trying to deliberately kill his little brother, Doodle. Tom cannot be legally convicted of a crime he allegedly committed.

Hundley’s crime resulted in physical consequence, but Cunningham’s quickly became emotional and social. Every 60 seconds, a homicide occurs. Murder is homicide with any prior knowledge or intention of death as the end result. Manslaughter is categorized into either voluntary or involuntary—both a result of recklessness.
He suggests that other social policies also lead to the death of innocent individuals, but they are not banned. The author presents deductive arguments to support his position, including the idea that murderers who are not executed have the potential to harm more innocent people. He believes that opponents of capital punishment should acknowledge their responsibility for innocent lives lost due to murderers who were not executed.
