Finn Carlson 786 East Sheridan Dr Eldridge, IA 52748. April 23, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: Think of how bad it would be for you to get accused of a murder that you didn't commit. In this trial, that is what is happening because Mr Bennett is being accused of murdering Mr Adams. Mr Bennett should be found not guilty of first degree murder of Mr Adams because there is not enough proven evidence to make him guilty. Even though the prosecution claims that Mr Bennett is guilty of murder, they are incorrect because the rat poison that was used to kill Mr Adams was only available to the exterminators, and Mr Adams had bad eyesight and was terrible at reading labels. He was going to put more creamer and sugar into his coffee, which was where the poison was. This evidence was proven by the police officer, Mrs Swanson. …show more content…

The reason for Mr Adams' death was because he was dying from poison in his coffee. This means that while he was putting creamer and sugar into his coffee since he had bad eyesight, he was actually putting the rat poison in it which ended up killing him. If Mr Adams had better eyesight then I could see why you would think Mr Bennett committed this crime, but this just proves that he had accidentally put rat poison in his own

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).

James King is one of two people being tried for the murder of Alguinaldo Nesbitt, as well as the robbery of his drugstore. He is guilty of felony murder, and there is much evidence to support this verdict. Bobo Evans, another perpetrator of this crime, “places Mr. King in the drugstore with him on the 22nd of December. This testimony was backed up by Lorelle Henry” (Myers 256-257). This is significant because Henry is a reliable witness, and she is an elderly, retired librarian with no criminal activity.

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.

Dear Jury Members: David Eldridge should be found guilty of the crime of killing Mr. Armes because of the reasonable doubt that exists. Surely, the defense will say that David Eldridge is safe, but that is wrong. The reasonable doubt that is going to help prove that David Eldridge is guilty will be evidence like, how Mr. Armes was killed with a spatula which had fingerprints on it and had footprints around him when he was dead, they both seemed to be from David Eldridge. Then, David Eldridge was the only other person who had a key to the building and the safe combination of Mr. Armes. In addition, the prosecution has made the reasonable doubt sound like David Eldridge has for sure killed Mr. Armes.

The court was prosecuting Herbert Richardson for capital murder, but they ignored the fact that he was a Vietnam War veteran, that he had acquired PTSD and other mental illnesses from the war, and that these illnesses hadn't been treated properly. “He still experienced severe head pain from his traumatic injuries in Vietnam and was known to shout ‘Incoming!’ at random times” (“Herbert Richardson”). The prosecution had completely ignored the evidence of Richardson not knowing exactly what he was doing and thinking that it was okay. “ Mr Richardson devised a bomb to place on the nurse’s front porch and planned to detonate the bomb and then run to her aid to save her, like he had saved people in Vietnam.
