Knox Baker 502 S. 5th St. Eldridge, IA 52748. May 9, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: I believe that David Eldridge is guilty as charged because he was seen walking into the building the morning of the murder and David Eldridge asked for a raise and was denied that raise which provided him with a motive to kill Mr. Arms. then david eldridge’s footprint was found in the oil which surrounded mr arms dead body. Finally the only people to have keys to Mr. Arms' restaurant were Mr. Arms and David Eldridge. So he was the only one who could have possibly killed Mr. Arms. the strongest piece of evidence is that mr eldridges footprints were found in the oil next to mr arms body meaning that he was near the body at one point and since there was oil spilled means that there was most likely a struggle so mr arms and mr …show more content…

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.

Eldridge is guilty is because in the trial it was stated that Mr. Eldridge told Patrick Lewis that Mr. Arms was a greedy pig and he was going to wish that he gave him a raise. This is showing signs of aggression, giving me reason to believe that Mr. Eldridge could have been the one to kill Mr. Arms. Another reason as to why Mr. Eldridge is guilty is because he was seen at the crime scene two hours before the body was found, this is showing that he was there while the murder took place. The same witness also stated that it was possible for him to have gone into the restaurant, committed the murder, then left, thinking he was not seen. Mr. Eldridge is guilty because there is reason to believe that Barbra Wheeler could have paid him money to steal the recipe, then while he was stealing it Mr. Arms caught him so he killed Mr. Arms.

Mr. Bennett should not be found guilty of the murder of Mr. Adams because reasonable doubt exists. Although the prosecution claims he was guilty, they are incorrect because when he found Mr. Adams died he immediately checked for a pulse and didn't find one after checking. Mr. Bennett's fingerprints were not found on the coffee cup that was used for his coffee. The strongest piece of evidence is that Mr. Alfaro’s prints were also found on the coffee mug.

Mr. Bennet should be found not guilty of the murder of Mr. Adams because reasonable doubt exists. Although the prosecution claims he’s guilty, they are incorrect because Mr. Alfaro was an exterminator with access to the poison, Mr. Alfaro left Mr. Adam’s alone 5 minutes before, and many more significant pieces of evidence prove he shouldn’t be convicted of guilt. To begin, Mrs. Reid was Mr. Adam’s closest living relative, and she believed that she would inherit his wealth because of this. She often attempted to spread nasty rumors about Mr. Adams and Mr. Alfaro was brought to the party by Mrs. Reid and both were seen whispering together throughout the evening.

In the trial paper given to us, it states Mr. Alfaro’s fingerprints were also found on the cup, which may give a clue as to who killed him with rat poisoning. What could have happened is Mr. Alfaro grabbed Mr. Adam's cup, and poisoned it with rat poisoning and so when Mr. Adams went to get his coffee, he would’ve been poisoned by the rat poisoning Mr. Alfaro put in the cup. The evidence I have given shows that Mr. Bennett is not guilty and that this was all reasonable doubt put against him. There is evidence that shows Mr. Alfaro or Mr. Mack could’ve done it because first off, Mr. Alfaro was an exterminator, which could have been evidence to show that he could’ve put the poison in Mr. Adams's

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.
