Chloe Taylor 502 S. 5th St. Eldridge, IA 52748. May 9, 2024 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801. Dear Jury Members: Mr. Bennett should be found not guilty of the crime of murdering Mr. Armes because reasonable doubts exist. The prosecution may claim that Mr. Bennett is guilty; they are incorrect because Mr. Adams had bad eyesite and could have mistaken the rat poisoning for sugar, and Mr. Alfaro’s prints were also found on the coffee mug. The strongest piece of evidence in this case is that Mr. Adams had bad eyesite and couldve mistaken the rat poisoning for sugar because of the similar boxes and labels. Investigators noted that a box of rat poisoning was found in the lounge kitchen next to a box of sugar. The boxes are the same size and color. Mrs. Swanson testified that Mr. Adams had poor eyesight and trouble reading labels, which could have caused him to poison himself because he could not read the labels. Another reason why Mr. Bennett should not be found guilty is because Mr. Alfaros prints were also found on the coffee mug, and Mr. Alfaros was an exterminator and rat poisoning was only available to exterminators. A coffee cup was on the floor near Mr. Adams, the cup had rat poison residue and Mr. Alfaros prints were found on the cup. Miss Singleton saw Mr.Alfaro pour Mr.Adams a cup of coffee before Mr. Adams went into the kitchen for his cream and sugar. …show more content…

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.

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.

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.

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.
