Kaylee Ervin 502 S. 5th St. Eldridge, IA 52748. May 9, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: The prosecution has tried to prove Mr. Bennet is guilty, but he is not guilty. Mr. Bennet was wrongfully accused of killing Mr. Adams because he wasn’t even near Mr. Adams before he died, Mr. Bennet also clearly states that when he was leaning down to check for a pulse on Mr. Adams he had the coffee rat poison on his fingers when the only one that could have had this poison was Mr. Alfaro. From these pieces of evidence, the jury will find that, Mr. Alfaro was an exterminator and was the only one that had possession of the rat poison that poisoned Mr. Bennet. Next, Mr. Alfaro was the one who poured Mr. Adams …show more content…

Alfaro is an exterminator and the poison he used in Mr. Adams’s coffee. This is a valuable piece of evidence that will prove Mr. Alfaro is guilty, because the other witnesses aren’t exterminators. They wouldn’t have access to the poison that was used to murder Mr. Adams. Had Mr. Bennet committed this crime, there would have been rat poisoning in the house. In addition, Mr. Bennet couldn’t have access to this poison because he is not an exterminator, so he couldn’t have had access to the …show more content…

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. Other members of the jury could also think of the tension going on between Mr. Bennet and Mr. Adams because of the yelling going on a few hours before the murder. But this is false because once again, Mr. Bennet stated that he was not out to kill Mr. Adams. Mr. Bennet is not a murderer and even if he could have killed Mr. Adams, where could he have gotten the rat poison, the rat poison that was used to kill Mr. Adams is only available to

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.

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).

It is the most prominent thing that was noticed by the crime scene investigator, so they found it and identified that David Eldridge's footprint were found in the oil which was spilled, indicating that there was most likely a struggle. if his footprints were found in the oil, that means that he was near the body during the time that the oil was spilled. next david eldridge was seen entering the building the morning of the murder and he got rejected from getting a raise therefore he was most likely angry which without a doubt gives him a motive to kill mr arms and the only people to have keys are david eldridge and mr arms. he has a motive to kill mr arms because mr arms rejected david eldridge a raise so that would give david eldridge a very good motive to kill mr arms which again proves without a doubt that he killed mr arms.

My second reason why Mr. Eldridge is guilty is that there was no sign of a break-in, in the restaurant, and the only people who had keys to the restaurant were Mr. Arms and David Eldridge. Mr. Arms was the last one in the restaurant when William Warden saw David Eldridge walk into the restaurant. Then Mr Warden heard screams and when he went into the restaurant he found Mr. Arms's dead body. This proves that David Eldridge and Mr. Arms were the only two in the restaurant at the time of his death. This also shows why there were no signs of a break-in because David Eldridge didn’t need to break in because he could just use his key.

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

The end of WW2 in Europe was well featured with the substantial devastation of every single possible field of people’s economic, social and legal lives. Generally speaking, Europe was left devastated to the degree when external help would only help. The question was how to rebuild it. While the allied powers opposed reparations by Germany, Stalin, on contrary, demanded tremendously high compensations, stressing the fact that Soviet Union had the highest number of deaths, casualties and other victims. When these demands were denied, USSR began shifting all the heavy industries and manufacturing from Germany to Soviet Republics.
