Camdyn Strom 1211 Rustic View Court Eldridge, IA 52748. April 23, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: Have you ever wanted a raise so badly but got denied so you went crazy and did something really bad? Well, this is what happened to Mr. Eldridge. David Eldridge had wanted a raise from Mr. Armes forever and never got one, which gives him the perfect incentive to do something insane. The prosecution is correct in this case. Mr. Eldridge killed Mr. Armes because reasonable evidence exists. The strongest piece of evidence for this case to prove that David Eldridge is guilty is that he stole a spatula and never gave it back to Mr. Arms, who was killed by a spatula. Crime scene investigators reported that a metal spatula was found on the floor by the body. Also, David Eldridge said that he stole a spatula from Mr. Arm’s restaurant and never gave it back. Later, it was reported that David Eldridge had the same spatula at his house with the blood on it and all. This evidence proves that David Eldridge had to have killed Mr. Arms, or somehow have been involved with giving someone else the spatula to do so since the murder weapon was that same spatula. …show more content…

William Warden, a witness in this case, saw David Eldridge enter the restaurant before Mr Armes's death and an hour later Mr Armes's screams were heard. In addition, after a while, he decided to check out the restaurant and found Mr. Armes dead. If David Eldridge did not commit the crime then why did someone witness him with their own eyes entering the restaurant before Mr Armes was dead and then the witness found him dead a while after screams were heard from Mr Armes? The next reason is that there was no sign of a break-in and David and Mr Armes were the only people with keys.

As you are shown in the film, after the identification of Brenton Butler and his so-called testimony to investigators, the police and prosecutors just stopped working on the case. Thus, evidence that would have supported Butler’s innocence and help find the actual killer weren’t discovered until Brenton’s defense attorney, Pat McGuinness did some investigation and research of his own. Thus, flowing from film from the trial to McGuinness’s investigation scenes shows the how he attained the information that he and his partner could present in the courtroom. While the prosecutors only had the one eyewitness, who claimed to have only caught a glimpse of the shooter and gave description that did not even match Butler. The film presents the conclusion that the police did not actually do the work to find the actual killer and if it wasn’t for Pat McGuinness and his partner wanting to find the culprit, it would never actually be solved.
