Your Honor, and people of the jury, on December 22nd of last year, Alguinaldo Nesbitt opened his shop to many people and one man who would later kill him.The day after, he was found dead in his own store. The defendant, James King has been charged with participating in this crime of entering the drugstore, in which either he or Richard “Bobo” Evans killed Mmr. Nesbitt. The evidence will also show that Mr. James King and Mr. “Bobo” Evans stole 5 cases of cigarettes as well as all the bills in the cash register. In the following days, the defendant was arrested after it was established that he was a participant. The defendant was not in the drugstore when the crime took place and, did not shoot the shopkeeper. The evidence I present will prove to …show more content…

Richard “Bobo” Evans was in a fight with a man who died. Manslaughter. There's nothing stopping him from killing again and shifting the blame. “Bobo” can be sentenced for life if murdered Nesbitt so he chose to shift the blame onto James King who was at his cousins house the entire time. “Bobo” clearly showed that he was the leader of the operation when he sold the products which showing that he is in charge of handling the robbed goods. Seeing that he was in charge of the robbed goods he got to keep them, but, King got none of the goods since he wasn’t in charge or even a participant.

    The attorneys failed to proffer any evidence in support of Solomon’s legal business enterprise, which he established with legal proceeds from the medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, the attorneys never proffered any evidence on his behalf, which proved ownership, control, actual or constructive, or possession of the vehicles stopped by police. According to residents and property records, neither Johnson brother owned, occupied, possessed or control a property located at Oso. The property allegedly had $1,868,759 in cash and although such a very odd number, aside from questioning the veracity of the cash receipts, the indictment states that Mr. Solomon Johnson owned the vehicles, property, and currency.
