How Did Sherlock Holmes Guilty To Kill Dr Roylott

497 Words2 Pages

Although Sherlock Holmes admitted to killing Dr. Roylott, he was not guilty. Dr. Roylott was sitting in the chair where the snake always lands on. Sherlock Holmes did not want to kill Dr. Roylott; however he did want to kill whatever killed Julia Stoner. Dr Roylott had trained the snake to kill, and that is what it essentially did. All of these reasons prove why Sherlock Holmes was not guilty of killing Dr. Grimesby Roylott. Since Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were at the Stoke Moran Manor to find out what had killed Julia Stoner the day before her wedding. When the snake had jumped onto Dr. Roylott, it killed him. Even though Sherlock had made the snake do this act of terror by lighting a match, therefore startling the snake, Sherlock did not want neither the snake nor Dr. Roylott to die. Sherlock Holmes was not known as a killer; he thought of himself that way when this occurred. When Sherlock Holmes startled the snake it jumped down through the ventilator and killed Dr. Roylott, therefore the snake is responsible for killing Dr. Roylott. …show more content…

Roylott trained the snake to kill, which is exactly what it did. He trained it to kill the stoner sisters before their wedding, but it killed Dr. Roylott instead. It was his own fault for training the snake to kill people. It was not Sherlock Holmes’ fault that Dr. Roylott trained the snake to kill people. The Swamp Adder was told to kill when it went through the ventilator. It had been startled by the match, so because of its instinct to kill, it killed the closest thing which was Dr. Roylott. If Dr. Roylott knew that the snake was going to return to the same chair every time he came back through the ventilator, why would he be sitting in that

  • Mr Knight Not Interrogated

    917 Words  | 4 Pages

    Knight was also not interrogated because, though Officer Davis’ questions related to the crime that Mr. Knight was later charged with, Officer Davis had no information to connect Mr. Knight to Ms. Stone’s murder at the time of the interaction. Just as the defendant in Andrews was not a suspect in any crime despite his suspicious behavior, Mr. Knight was not a suspect in any crime even though Officer Davis thought that “something seemed a bit off” with him. Thus, like the officers in Andrews, who did not know that the defendant had committed a crime and therefore could not know their questions would elicit an incriminating response, Officer Davis similarly did not know Mr. Knight was involved in Ms. Stone’s death and could not know her questions would elicit Mr. Knight’s incriminating statements. Since the Andrews court held that the defendant was not interrogated because his statements were not reasonably foreseeable since he was not a suspect in any crime, the fact that Mr. Knight was also not a suspect in any crime means that he was not interrogated his statements were not reasonably foreseeable. Rather, like the defendant in Andrews who seemingly volunteered information about his possession of child pornography—which officers had not asked about—out of guilt, Mr. Knight also seemed to volunteer his connection with Ms. Stone’s death out of guilt.
