How Did Sherlock Committed A Crime
Imagine you committed a crime but were let free even though it is breaking the law for a police officer to do that. Sherlock Homes a detective that is beyond their technology that they should have used science to find evidence to crimes. In one of his stories he solved the crime about a missing carbuncle (jewel) and after he found out who did it he let them go like it was nothing. In my opinion Sherlock made the wrong decision. He should not have let them go for stealing it is illegal what he did. In the first place, Sherlock Holmes caught the two thieves that stole the carbuncle, a carbuncle is just a different way to say jewel. Sherlock knows himself that he committed a crime he just did not want to admit it because it would be breaking the …show more content…
Sherlock had lacked of evidence with this theory but you cannot blame someone if you are not entirely sure you need more than just one thing to back up your theory. The Plumber had kids a wife and probably did not get payed a ton imagine if he went to jail what would happen to his family. In the third place, the two thieves can always commit another crime because the only person who could ever catch them was Sherlock. Since they already know that he exist they would have a plan for if he ever try to track the two thieves down again. Another thing is that if you got away with something you might try it again because the first time you did it it was successful. In Conclusion, I think all of these facts are enough evidence to prove my statement of Sherlock. So the three main reason why Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing are. First of all, Sherlock let the thieves go after committing a crime. Seconded of all, He blamed the innocent plumber who had a family to look after. Third of all, Doing something and getting away with it could make you do it again since you got away with it. So I believe Sherlock Holmes did the wrong

In the story, “The Adventures of the Speckled Band,” Dr. Roylott was murdered by his snake the he had trained over a period of time.

    These characters, using all of their skills and wits, catches the murderer nevertheless. Over the course of this murder adventure, their actions change the plot of the story. If Poirot was not a good detective, the Clarke could have gotten away. If Cust wasn’t so self-blaming, then maybe he would have caught on faster and realized who was the true murderer. All of these “if”s only lead to different scenario, none quite the same as the original plot. All in all, this book ABC Mystery shows that the character's actions shape the story’s…

    Yes. Under the Constitution of the United States, a defendant in a criminal case has to be given the opportunity to present a complete defense. The defendant also has the right and opportunity to present evidence of innocence, and only the evidence of guilt of a third party. Excluding evidence and only hearing the prosecutions evidence in the case did not give the court the right to make a conclusion based on the evidence at hand. The evidence against the prosecution supported that the defendant was guilty but did not automatically exclude the evidence of the third party as weak. Holmes was entitled to introduce the evidence of Whites guilt. The exclusion of that evidence violated Holmes 's right to have the opportunity to present a complete defense.…

    Sherlock Holmes is a very strange man. He is a detective who can solve a mystery without even seeing what seems to be like too much evidence. His ethics are very interesting. He believes that murder cases turn out to have very complex ways of happening. He does not believe in the solar system, which the narrator thought was very weird. His decision to join the case to help was a just decision, because without him the case wouldn’t have been solved correctly. Holmes seems to always stick with his beliefs, not matter what the situation was, even after the case seemed like it was solved.…

    Sherlock has come to a conclusion that “doctors make the greatest criminals”. He is completely correct. Doctors are equipped with a whole list of skills they need to be great doctors.
