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.

This only proves that Mr. Eldridge had committed the crime because according to William Warden, Mr. Eldridge and Mr. Arms were the only two people to have keys to the establishment. If Mr. Eldridge hadn’t killed Mr. Arms, why were his fingerprints on the spatula? With Mr. Eldridge’s prints being at the scene, and there being no sign of a break-in, it leads me to believe that he is the one responsible for Mr. Arms’s death. The next reason that Mr. Eldridge is guilty of Mr. Arms' murder is that he has a motive and the motive is that Mr. Eldridge had asked for a raise because his house was getting repossessed and he was in desperate need of money but was denied, leaving him to be upset.

Now, one thing that doesn’t help prove his innocence is that we don’t know where he was during the robbery. When asked about his location he states: “ I don’t know exactly where I was when the robbery took place…”And it doesn’t help that the only people who testify to his location are saying that he was involved in the robbery. But as previously stated, everyone who testifies against him has reason to lie and everything they say is within the realm of reasonable

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.

We tried to make a determination ourselves as to guilt or innocence. I believe that the evidence showed that Adnan is innocent and Jay Wilds and Jay’s attorney/lawyer were responsible for the wrongful conviction of Adnan. They wrongfully convicted Adnan just to get a conviction for the crime, so they no longer had to deal with the case. They talked about stuff in court,

Dear Jury Members: In my opinion, David Eldiridge should be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of murder. Although the defense claims that he is innocent of this crime, they are incorrect because Eldridge had motive to kill Mr. Armes, there was no sign of a break-in, but all the money was gone and he had the key, and lastly, a witness had placed him at the scene near the time of the murder and his footprints were all around the body. First, David Eldridge had the motive to kill Mr. Armes because he was very angry after Mr. Armes hadn’t given him a raise and he needed money because the bank was going to repossess his house, so he could have stolen the recipe and robbed him to get the money. David was the only one that could get into the restaurant and rob Mr. Armes since he has the keys and the combo to the safe.

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.
