Killing Slade And Mr Bauumer

Opening Statement
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here today to prove in a court of law that Mr. Baumer is guilty of first degree murder. Baumer and slade had a very interesting history, that led to the obscene events of Baumer killing slade. They always hated each other that they would get into physical fights often. Slade did punch Mr. Baumer in the face and he did twist his nose, but after these physical occurrences, Mr. Baumer then hired slade to get easy access to killing him. Baumer was aware that Slade always stole the alcohol and drank it when he was delivering it. He also knew that slade couldn’t read, so he then positioned the poisonous wood alcohol in the truck where slade could see it because baumer knew he couldn’t read

-When you and Mr. Baumer found out that slade was dead, what did Mr. Baumer say to you?
A: As soon as he heard from Moore about Slade’s death, all he said was “Dead!” Also, he said that Slade couldn’t have frozen to death.
-When you guys were unloading the barrels that Slade was supposed to delivery, what did baumer say to you and what was on the barrel?
A: The barrel said that there was Wood Alcohol Poison in the barrel and he told me that it was good to know how to read.
-What do you think Mr. Baumer meant by saying that?
I am not sure. He could have meant it like he used to since he was my fatherly figure after my dad died, he was always telling me to get an education so that I don’t know if something was poisonous.
