Murder Case: Mr. Moloney V. Maloney Murder
What motive would a devoted, joyful wife have to murder her hardworking husband? The defendant, Mrs. Maloney, was a loving, caring wife to her husband fulfilled his every need. She was not only his wife, but the mother of his unborn child. She would spend every hour of her life cleaning their home, washing their clothes, and preparing hot meals for him. On the day that Mr. Maloney was killed, Mrs. Maloney was out getting other items for his supper. She even has a witness that puts her at the grocery store getting vegetables at the time Mr. Maloney was murdered. Not only does she have an alibi, but she is pregnant with his child and could not possibly kill Mr. Maloney due to maternity. Mrs. Maloney did not kill her husband and should not be found guilty for voluntary manslaughter.
How could Mary be the killer if she wasn’t at the crime scene? According to court documents, “It wasn’t six o’clock yet and the lights were still on in the grocery shop.”(Dahl). It would have been impossible for Mary to commit the crime because she was at the grocery shop when the crime took place. Mrs. Maloney went to the grocery store for some vegetables. The grocer states, “Mrs. Maloney came to the store to purchase vegetables and potatoes, bought two of the potatoes. She seemed happy and calm as she

Marybeth has committed to smothering a couple, and evidence shows that she probably drugged and poisoned the others. However, there are consistencies in the situations in which each of the children had died. The night before almost every child died Marybeth would rush them to the emergency room.

Tinning always opposed of letting the child stay overnight, even though she had rushed them to the ER room very worried and dramatic. The very next day, Marybeth would show…

    She began by explaining that Julie Schenecker sent an email to her mother that made her mother feel uneasy and want to call the police. The Assistant public defender explained that the police would be testifying to the events that happened January 2011. When the police arrived they knocked on the door and no one answered so they looked in through the window to see Schenecker laying outside on the back patio. She notes that the police explain the defendant looked as though she had been sleeping for a very long time and that it was a very cool January morning. To cool for her to be sleeping outside in her robe. That investigation quickly turned from a welfare check into a homicide investigation. Ms. Spradley attempted to paint a picture of the events that happened that day to be one of a loving mother who was mentally unstable. She explained that when the police found Schenecker and woke her to question her that Schenecker was unstable and had to be held up while sitting on the couch. She explained that when the police asked her where her children were Schenecker told them that she tucked her daughter in bed and that she tried to pick her son up and put him in her bed, because thats where he slept the soundest when his father was away, but she could not move him so she left him in the vehicle and tucked a blanket around him.

    In the case of the People v. Lewie, Michael Flint pleaded guilty to two counts of depraved indifference murder for the horrific murder of 8 year old Colbi Bullock. The defendant’s girlfriend Alicia Lewie, and mother to Colbi was charged with both involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment due to Ms. Lewie failing to get the child the medical treatment he so desperately needed. In my opinion, Alicia Lewie could undoubtedly be charged with both child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter. Involuntary manslaughter is charged when severe negligence or reckless conduct causes an accidental death to occur. In this case, Ms. Lewie was exceptionally negligent when leaving her child with a man who was known to be extremely violent throughout…

    On Monday February 29, the custodial staff at the Middle School Building at St. George’s Independent School called the police station to state that they had found a dead body lying face down in the office of room M223. There was no evident cause of death: no obvious trauma, no gunshot wounds, no puncture wounds, but blood was found on and around the body. There were cups of dr. pepper and a sticky note pad along with some other evidence found on the crime scene. An officer interviewed the Middle School Director, Mrs. Lori Williamson, and was informed that Felix Navidad was hired to evaluate the efficiency and productivity of the seventh grade faculty. He would make recommendations for salary adjustments and staffing decisions. I believe that Tara Mae Mulroy should be charged with the murder of…

    The Peggy Hettrick case has been a cold case for decades. The case from 1987 has been a mystery. August 10, 1998 Timothy Masters was charged for her murder. Timothy was released and charges were dismissed on January 22, 2008. The roles in this case were hard to follow. The prosecutor who has the role to present the state’s case against defense had to prove that Timothy’s knife collection, his drawings, failure to report seeing body, and the time frame of the crime was reasonably why he was the suspect in the murder of Peggy Hettrick. The police took several years trying to build a case and didn’t come up with much. Timothy Masters’ defense attorney, who has the job of representing the accused and to prove him innocent. They petitioned new trials due to the fact of lack of evidence. The original trial did not have the DNA and the defense attorneys had not been informed of other suspects. One of the other suspects was Richard Hammond. Richard Hammond also had a prior record of filming females in 1995. Hammond’s place of residence was 100 yards from the scene of murder with his bedroom facing the scene. Hammond committed suicide two days after arrest. The evidence of the prior suspect and reports from experts that said Masters was not guilty was enough for a judge to allow a new trial. The judge, who has the role to ensure justice and holds the ultimate authority and is responsible for balancing the rights of the accused and the interest of society, ruled that with all the evidence that was withheld a new trial would be allowed. The new trial found Timothy Masters not guilty and released from jail. Later the judges ruled in wrongful conviction and Timothy was granted millions.…

    In my opinion, Mary Maloney has lost control. She has killed her husband, Patrick Maloney without knowing the true facts which proves she has lost control. This is shown from the beginning when Patrick Maloney told Mary Maloney something that would change their lives forever. “Her first instinct was not to believe any of it, or reject it all. It occurred to her that perhaps he hadn’t even spoken that she herself had imagined the whole thing” (63). This quote shows how Mary Maloney pretended that nothing happened and went on with her day and started cooking. This proves that she was in denial. Later on in the story, Mary Maloney went to get supper made for her husband and herself. She stopped and looked at her…

The text states,” if she found anything unusual or terrible when she got home, then it would be a shock and she would have to react with grief and horror”(Dahl 3). This quote shows Mrs.Maloney being devious because she pretends to be surprised so she wouldn`t get caught.Even though she killed him,…

    My first reasoning that she is guilty is that while she was driving home the night on the incident, March 31st 2011, when multiple witnesses said they had seen her in the parking lot of Crazy House in Kanata crashing into a light post, other cars, etc. Also, after she had killed the man (Bryan Casey) right when the police started to chase her, the first thing she did, even before she pulled over, was call her lawyer, so she obviously knew she was in trouble.…

    Although the jury finds Han not guilty of pre-meditated murder, the details of the story show his crime to be in fact pre-meditated murder. All evidence shows that, he has a deceptive and manipulative character. He has the opportunity to commit murder without blame, and because he has a reason. Upon hearing the interview of character witnesses and analyzing Hans 's thoughts and feelings during the course of the murder, the reader finds sufficient evidence of the several reasons Han intentionally killed his wife during the course of the act. There are three major reasons as to why Han is guilty. The first being a mistake like this cannot happen to an experienced performer, secondly Han 's manipulative character, and lastly Han 's motives for killing his wife.…
