Mrs. Salmon was the most sure and reliable witness. At the murder trial she said that at two of morning, in 15 Northwood Street, she had been unable to sleep because she heard a door click shut. She went to the window and she saw Adams on the steps of Mrs. Parker’s house and he had a hammer. She was very determined but when the counsel asked her to show the murder, she saw two Adams, because there was Mr. Adams twin. She wasn’t prepared to swear that it was the prisoner she had seen. After the murder trial, one of the twins got pushed on to the road right I n front of a bus. His skull smashed just as Mrs. Parker’s had been. …show more content…
The settings are 15 Northwood Street, murder trial’s place and Laurel Avenue (when another witness saw Adams). The most important characters are Mr Adams, Mrs Salmon and Mrs Parker. The secondary characters are Henry McDougall, Mr Wheeler and another witness. The climax and the turning point of the story were when Mrs. Salmon saw Adams with his twin at the murder trial. There was a lot of suspense. The story is what the author has in mind, but in this story there is also the plot, because the narrator immediately said that it happens a murder. This is a crime story because we know the murderer from the

    The search of the crime scene is the most important phase of any investigation. Decisions of the courts restricting admissibility of testimonial evidence have significantly increased the value of physical evidence in homicide investigations. Therefore, law enforcement personnel involved in the crime scene search must arrange for the proper and effective collection of evidence at the scene.The arguments the lawyer’s will make in the William’s case is: once an item is recognized as evidence it must be properly collected and preserved for laboratory examination. However, in order for physical evidence to be admissible, it must have been legally obtained. The courts have severely restricted the right of the police to search certain homicide crime scenes without a search warrant, (Mincey v. Arizona 437 US 385, 1978).…

    On the night Leroy McPhillen was a patron of The Bottom’s Up Pub, an intoxicated man began shouting obscenities at a woman seated at a table near Mr. McPhillen. As the woman ignored the man’s ranting, the man then approached the woman in a threatening manner. Before the man reached the woman, Mr. McPhillen invited the man to join him at his table. The man refused and grabbed the woman’s wrist. Mr. McPhillen then carefully twisted the man’s arm behind his back and restrained him with a neck hold. Mr. McPhillen refused the man’s request to release him, and firmly seated the man and threatened to punch him if he moved. The woman then informed Mr. McPhillen that the man was her husband.…

    The podcast, Criminal, focuses reviews different criminal cases as well as the different aspects of criminology. The host, Phoebe Judge, a reporter based in Mississippi, has a history in making documentaries. In the first episode of Criminal Judge reviews the unsolved murder case of Kathleen Peterson, a 48 year-old woman, found dead in her home by her husband Michael Peterson back in 2001.Their neighbour, Larry Pollard, a lawyer following the case came up with a theory that puts at new meaning to man vs. beast. When Kathleen was found her husband called 911 saying she fell down the stairs. All odds were against Michael Peterson and he was indicted for the murder of his wife. They said Michael’s motive was that Kathleen found out he was having affairs with men and that his wife had a 1.5 million dollar life insurance policy for herself. Also, in the 80s Michael was tied to a murder and was the last person to see a woman alive before she was killed using blunt-force trauma, just like his wife. After a five month trial Michael Peterson was convicted of his wife's murder. Their neighbour Larry Pollard had an alternate theory to Kathleen’s death. Pollard’s theory was that when Kathleen went back outside for some reason maybe to take out the trash, she was attacked by an owl, then rushing back inside after feeling her head and taking out a clump of hair she ran to the stairs,…

    This aboriginal man claimed to have been there the night of the murder and testifies that Tshuanahusset was the one that murdered William Robinson. Yet, he did not firsthand see Tshuanahusset kill William Robinson, nor did he immediately report him for the murder either. It was fifteen months before Sue Tas went to the authorities with information on the murder, and this rose no suspicion for neither the authorities nor the judicial system. The fact that Sue Tas waited this long to inform the authorities rises suspicion that perhaps he was lying because there was belief that Sue Tas was Tshuanahusset killed. Although this suspicion was out in the open, the authorities and judicial system still solely relied on Sue Tas as the only witness and did not look further into these circumstances. This could have simply been that Sue Tas saw the opportunity to pin an open case murder on Tshuanahusset which would explain why he reported him much later from when the murder actually occurred. Also, Sue Tas was threatened by his own tribe and chief after he went to the authorities and reported Tshuanahusset. This information was set aside by all authorities because they simply did not want to complicate the investigation and close it as soon as possible. This information could have meant that Sue Tas did something that was unforgivable by his tribe and this would not be revealing information, but perhaps this could be that he lied about the information to falsely convict Tshuanahusset. Furthermore, the complication of Sue Tas as the only witness should have encouraged authorities and the judicial system to look further into the murder case of William Robinson and not solely rely on one witness, yet through they perfunctory behaviour they closed the case quickly and…

    Archer’s inconsequential remark became twisted with her own ideas, ideas that stemmed from an unstable mind. On Hell Night, Mr. Archer told her to put the fraternity flag above the door. However, Ms. Milan Jackson saw this as the ideal moment to perform the perfect stunt. Her drunken, mentally broken, perfection seeking, and emotionally unstable self took an action that although was ill advised, was an action taken all on her own. Mr. Archer does not deserve to be second guessed as a murderer in this horrid ordeal. If you strip away the high emotions of the accused, and if you strip away the poorly drawn interpretations and implications put forth by the State, all that will remain are the facts. The entirety of the prosecution's guess of a motive is built around an insignificant remark coming from Chris Archer, saying that he believes Ms. Jackson to be overconfident and disloyal to Pat. If justice may be served, you the jury must see that there is no evidence brought forth that Mr. Chris Archer has any motive whatsoever significant enough for him to take Milan Jackson’s innocent life. Moreover, no intention to kill, voluntarily or involuntarily, can be confidently determined beyond a reasonable…

    The first and the most important cause of Milgaard’s wrongful conviction was the question of Milgaard’s two friends, Ron and Nichol. His friends changed the story from the original one and the true version into something the police wanted to listen to. This is because the two friends were heavy drug users and they were put into custody for about 2-3 days, during this time they did not have access to any drugs, which was painful for them. Thus, to leave early, Ron encouraged Nichol to give the police what they wanted to hear and stabbed Milgaard in the back.…

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here to present to you the guiltiness of Justine Moritz for the murder of the beloved William Frankenstein. To start it off, Justine doesn’t have the most reliable alibi from that night due to the staying out late, even though many witnesses saw her out late. Also, we know that one of the most crucial manifest of this murder is knowing that the locket seen on William just hours before his murder was suspiciously found in Justine’s pocket the day after. Unfortunately, it is a misfortune that I have to stand before all of you proving the guilt of this kind women, when it is just as easy to see past the evidence and go from what I feel in the heart. As she speaks, you can just hear the innocence in her voice as she utters, “God knows, how entirely I am innocent… and I hope the character I have always borne will incline my judges as a favourable interpretation,” (Shelley 65). However, it is my duty to prove to you why you must not follow your emotions, yet rather the staunch evidence stated in this argument. Even though she may use her charm, by the end of this argument, you will be surely convinced that Justine is guilty because of her suspicious alibi and noteworthy locket.…
