Will Smith has been a victim of second degree murder by a man named Cardell Hayes on April 9th 2016. It started off as a simple hit and run on Mr. Hayes which slowly but surely escalated to Hayes pulling out a gun and fatally shooting and killing Mr. Smith. On a surveillance video it shows a Mercedes SUV trailing a Hummer, until the latter vehicle stops abruptly. The Mercedes pulls up quickly, too, possibly hitting it from behind. Both vehicles are a standstill briefly, until the Hummer starts to pull over; the Mercedes, though, goes around and drives off.

In an article by Douglas Linder (n.d) it talks about a famous murder that happened in West Memphis, Arkansas. On May of 1993, three eight-year old boys were found murdered in the woods of their hometown in West Memphis, Arkansas. West Memphis Police Department started receiving calls from worried parents, who couldn’t locate their sons. A search had begun around West Memphis, with the help of the community, they found the lifeless bodies of the young boys in the woods. Shortly, rumors around the community would go around stating that the murders were part of a ritual done by some devil worshipers.
When the police questioned him, he told them that he was on his way out of town to audition a new singer by the name of Cheryl Johnson. However, when the police searched for this woman, there were no records of her and the phone number Williams gave them was non-existent. Two days after the bridge incident, the body of 27-year-old Nathanial Cater showed up down the river. Although FBI could not provide any evidence that it was Williams who killed him, they were almost positive and kept a close eye on him. They got one step closer when the next victim they found, 29-year-old Jimmy Payne, had hairs and fibers on his clothes that were identical to those found in Williams’ house and on his dog.
On September 5th at 9:15PM a car was discovered burning in the 400 block of Xenia St. SE. A body was later found in the burning vehicle. The vehicle was later determined to be registered to my 21 year old son Malik Thomas. Due to the condition of the body I was asked to submit a DNA sample. Someone attempted to obliterate Malik 's existence.
Anthony Graves is one of hundreds of individuals that were wrongfully incarcerated. Anthony Graves was convicted and sentenced to death for the brutal 1992 murder of six people. In 2006 Anthony’s sentence was reversed by a federal court. He served four more years in prison until his release in 2010. Anthony Graves spent a total of 18 years of his life imprisoned, 12 of which were on death row for a crime he did not commit (Soria 2010).
Wayne Williams was found guilty of the killing of two people. Even years after William’s still tries to persuade the idea of him being innocent. Just like fingerprints, hair analysis is following the same path. I think that DNA fingerprints will become bigger and more accurate of accusing killers, the use of hair analysis will decrease, but I do not think hair analysis should be taken away.
The person I chosen to talk about is Dr. Paul Fauteck. At a young age he was doing small petty crimes and cutting quitting school. He has been caught stealing, theft and burglary. One of his crime friends was shot and killed by police at age 18.
The biggest discrepancy I see with Milke’s account of what happened is the bullets she found in the laundry. Milke said that she was doing laundry the day of the murder. However, it is very odd that Milke found the bullets in the laundry the day of the murder rather the day after. It is also very coincidental that she also took out a $5,000 life insurance policy days before the murder.
Brenton Butler was convinced that the more he denied, the harsher the consequences would be. During his testimony, Butler claimed that Glover held his hand on his gun and said that he would hit him every ten seconds that he didn’t confess. This led to a compliant false confession. Brenton knew very well what he was doing, but he felt that he needed to falsely confess to get himself out of the interrogation room. Thanks to scientific advances, we are now able to analyze DNA taken from crime scenes.
The murder case of Leanne Holland exposed the ways in which forensic science were both a help and a hindrance to the conviction and subsequent overturning of the verdict, against Graham Stafford. The body of 12-year-old Leanne Holland was found battered and partially naked in scrub 30m off Redbank Plains Rd on September 26, 1991. She went missing on Monday morning on September 23, 1991. According to descriptions, she was last seen wearing a long-sleeved purple jumper, black skirt and no shoes as she headed towards shops just 500m from her Alice St home in Goodna.
Eric Smith at the age of thirteen tortured and murdered a four year old child named Derrick Robie at a nearby woods. Eric was sentenced to nine years to life in prison. Eric was convicted for second degree murder. His reasoning for the murder was because Eric just wanted to see someone being hurt rather than him. The Robie family were suffering knowing one day he will be released back into society.
Arthur Williams died on October 5th, 2015. Queenie Williams was out at the country club with her friends until she arrived home around one in the morning to supposedly find her husband dead at the bottom of the stairs. His wife is believed to be the alleged killer based on evidence at the crime scene. Queenie had said that her and her husband had had a heated argument resulting in having the wife leave for the night, and when she arrived home he was laying at the base of the step unmoving. Key witnesses have reported that when Queenie arrived at the country club she seemed “agitated and not herself”.
This DNA sample was tested to determine if the DNA left on Mary Sullivan was a match. This proved to not be a match. This shows some suspicion to the final verdict of the
