Good day, I’m here to prove Brother Armstrong is innocent in the case of Doodle Armstrong's death. Doodle Armstrong was found dead by Brother, he said that they were running home and Doodle was running but was far behind him. When Brother stop to wait for Doodle he never caught up to Brother. Brother went back for Doodle and that's when he found Doodle lying on the floor bleeding from his mouth and neck dead. There is no evidence to prove that Brother Armstrong is guilty we have to take things into consideration his age, what really happened that day, and what has Brother done for Doodle . Brother Armstrong at the time was only 12, a kid that age doesn't have his mind fully developed .Study shows that kids brain aren't fully developed till the age of 25 an 11 year old doesn't even know what is right and what is wrong . Even though the thought about killing his brother it didn't mean he was actually going to do it .At the time he didn't really know that what he was doing was wrong . He is a kid you can’t expect him to know what morals are he’s still 9learning learning to get rid of his childish acts . …show more content…

no one ever told him that he had to do it he did it because it was something that wanted to do brother showed his love to doodle by being one of the persons that believed in him everyone else said it hopeless there's no point in trying you are a mistake. Brother said i don't care i will try to help him he could have said no there where running home brother never laid hands one doodle when died there is no real facts saying that brother did kill him .In the story it never says that Brother was the reason why doodle died .nowhere in the book did i find a clear statement saying that brother was the reason that doodle died there for there is no real evidence stating that doodle died because of Brothers

Doodles brother is responsible for the death of his own brother. Three big reasons that led me to believe this is that he always wanted doodle gone from the beginning, he was ashamed and very embarrassed of having a disabled brother, and that he only helped doodle for his own personal benefit. All of those show why he left his brother in that storm to die. From doodles birth his brother never liked him or cared about him and wanted him gone. One example is “i began to make plans to kill him by smothering him with a pillow.”
