Bennett is that Mr. Adam’s cause of death was rat poisoning, and Mr. Bennett was the only person at the party with rat poison on his hands. The police officer on the scene and the coroner both concluded that Mr. Adams had been poisoned with rat poison. They also said a coffee cup was on the floor near Mr. Addams. The cup contains rat poison residue. All the people present at the party were tested. Traces of the rat poison were found only in Mr. Bennett’s hands. Mr. Adams did not have any evidence of rat poison on his hands. The last piece of evidence against Mr. Bennett is that Mr. Bennett would have to sell his beloved home, which had been in his family for five generations, so he was desperate. Mrs. Swanson testified that Mr. Adams had started putting pressure on Mr. Bennett to pay back the $250,000 owed. Mr. Armes would have to die to make it so that Mr. Bennett would not have to pay his $250,000 owed. Mr. Bennett has a huge reason why he would need to poison Mr. Armes with rat

Although the prosecution said that he was guilty, they are incorrect because he had bad eyesight, he was not the one with that rat poison and his family member had a strong hatred towards him. The evidence shows that he may have been killed by his family member Mrs. Reid or a new friend of his, the rat exterminator Mr. Alfaro. To start, Mr Adams had bad eyesight and he could have mistaken the boxes and grabbed the poison by accident. The rat poison was found in the sugar in the kitchen and they had very similar packaging.

Evidence that supports this is that Mr. Alfaro’s fingerprints were found on the cup that he drank out of and was killed by the substance that was in it. The reason this evidence proves my claim is because Mr. Alfaro is an exterminator and that's how he has access to rat poisoning. One of the other witnesses saw Mr. Alfaro give Mr. Adams a cup and Mr. Adams died from rat poisoning. Mr. Alfaro should be found guilty of this. When going through the evidence, the killer of Mr. Adams is not Mr. Bennett.

8: I think that… as a juror… we have to really think, we have to think about all the evidence, about all the outcomes. Well if I voted guilty at the initial vote, we would’ve let the boy die but as a juror being given jury duty… one of the highest duties of citizenship… is a big duty and being trusted and chosen to have a person’s life in your hands is just way too much pressure to handle and is one of the hardest things to do in your own lifetime and a one of a lifetime experience that you will just never forget.
