Dear Jury Members: Mr. Eldridge should not be found guilty of murder because there is reasonable doubt. Although the prosecution claims he is guilty, they are wrong because Barbara Wheeler had motive to murder him, for the recipe, his fingerprints were on the spatula because he took it home and cleaned it, and his footprints were not in the blood around Mr. Armes. To begin, Barbara Wheeler had a motive to murder Mr. Armes. Three days after Mr. Armes death occurred Ms. Wheeler had posted a recipe very similar to Mr. Armes. She also has admitted that she wanted to sabotage Mr. Armes restaurant, and steal his recipes. The safe that kept Mr. Armes' secret recipe was opened and the recipe was not in the safe. Since she admitted to trying to sabotage Mr. Armes restaurant and that only a few days after she had posted almost an identical copy of Mr. Armes recipe. …show more content…
Mr. Armes had a cut in his finger a few weeks ago and Mr. Eldridge had offered to take it home and wash it which is why his fingerprints are on the spatula. Mr. Armes' throat was slit with the same spatula. David Eldridge had forgotten to bring the spatula back to Mr. Armes. Police investigators said that Mr. Armes bled to death and that he had blunt-force trauma on the back of his head. This is proving that Mr. Eldridge’s fingerprints got on the murder weapon because he took the spatula home and washed it for Mr. Armes. Finally, David Eldridges footprints were NOT found in the blood. Everything around Me. Armes was covered in blood. There were multiple peoples footprints found around Mr. Armes but/ mr. Eldridge was not one of them. He had gone in earlier that morning to ask for a raise but then he went home. This is proving that Mr. Eldridge is NOT guilty because there are other witnesses and footprints other than MR.
A. Re Opening Statements: The Prosecution has the job of proving that the defendant, Jordan Bratton committed murder in the first degree by killing the victim, Preston Balmen. The evidence that they have which supports their case is as follows. The police found that there were tire tracks behind Preston Balmen’s house, which matched the tires on Jordan Bratton’s car: a maroon 1990’s Buick Century. It was determined by a medical examiner that Preston Balmen had been strangled to death with a cord-like object and that a microphone cord found in Jordan Bratton’s car is most likely the weapon that was used to strangle the victim. The examiner also determined by the way the victim was strangled, that the suspected murderer stood at a similar
She stated that Mr. Eldridge had asked Mr. Armes for a raise. Mr. Armes denied his request, explaining how the business wasn’t doing as well as it needed to and there wasn’t enough money to offer anyone a raise. After this, Mr. Eldridge was distraught. If David Eldridge committed this crime, there was evidence that showed how Mr. Armes had denied Mr. Eldridge’s raise and Elderidge was very upset which would give him the motive to murder Mr. Armes
Since Mrs. Reid was going to inherit the house she devised a plan, that Mr. Alfaro would put rat poison in the cup then pour him a cup of coffee and he would drink that and die and Mrs. Reid would inherit the house while Mr. Alfaro would get something in return and when they went over they would just blame it on Mr. Bennett because he was there
A trusted employee of Mr. Armes, William Warden, had told police that he had seen Eldridge enter the Family Fun restaurant two hours before Mr. Armes was found dead. Around an hour later he stated that he heard Mr. Armes screaming. He then waited a bit after it stopped, then went to investigate and saw Mr. Armes dead, on the floor of his restaurant. Another thing that places David Eldridge at the scene were that his footprints were found all around Armes’s body. There is proof that David Eldridge was at the scene of the crime during the time of the murder.
Dear Jury Members:Mr.Bennett should not be found not guilty of murder because reasonable doubt is found. Although the prosecution thinks that Mr.Bennet is guilty for murder, they are wrong because since Mr.Alfario is an exterminator he had access to the poison that killed Mr.Adams, Mrs.Reid thought that when Mr.Adams died that she would inherit all his wealth, and the reason Mr. Bennett had poison on his hands because he had touched the puddle of coffee while checking Mr.Adams pulse on accident. To begin, Mr Bennett is not guilty because Mr Alfario had access to the poison, the same poison that killed Mr.adams. The police found out that Mr.Adams had died from rat poisoning and a coffee cup was found by Mr.Adams’s dead body, the cup contained rat poison.
In September of 1961, a woman from District of Columbia had an intruder break into her apartment. While the invader of the home was there, they had taken her wallet, and also raped the woman. During the investigation of the crime, the police had found some latent fingerprints in the apartment. The police then established and processed the prints. The prints were then connected back to 16 year old Morris A. Kent.
Boblit and Brady were arrested and charged with murder in the first degree. In court Brady stated that although he was an accomplice to the murder he had nothing to do with the physical act of murdering the victim. He testified that Boblit was the one responsible for the horrendous act of murder. Brady’s lawyer tried to defend him to the best of it ability so upon trial his lawyer obtained the sworn testimony of Boblit but a specific part of his testimony was never admitted into court. There was never a fact of omission of guilt admitted on the record by Boblit coping to murder even though his sworn statement admitting to the murders was on July 9,1958.
I believe the defendant's absence of sympathy for other people and unwillingness to understand and empathize with people who are different from him led to him unconsciously setting up the circumstances for his brother to be killed. I believe that this makes him a danger to others. So, jury as you make your decision on whether or not the defendant is guilty I ask that you all seriously analyze the behaviors of Adam Armstrong and realize that they are not normal and that he needs serious help. Thank
Hadley DeCook 502 S. 5th St. Eldridge, IA 52748 May 15, 2023 Scott County Courthouse 400 W. 4th St. Davenport, IA 52801 Dear Jury Members: Mr. Bennett was just enjoying his night at a party while having drinks with his friends and dancing. However no one could have predicted how much the night took a turn. Instead of partying he was accused and arrested for the murder of Mr. Adams in which he didn’t commit. Mr. Bennett should be found not guilty of murder because there is reasonable doubt.
The spatula had several sets of fingertips, including SpongBob’s, Squidward’s, and Mr. Krabs’s. It means that there were multiple fingerprints on the spatula so how was spongeBob was the one that killed Mr. Krabs. Squidward could have killed Mr. Krabs as well because his fingerprints were found on the spatula that was used to kill Mr. Krabs. Second of all, evidence number 21 states: “Spongbob testified that two weeks before Mr. Krabs’s death he accidentally cut his finger on a spatula.
They have told you the true story of what happened that fateful night on June 17, 2016. Their testimonies show you that the defendant was not helpless and that she had many opportunities to leave her husband. In addition, their testimonies showed you that the defendant knowingly and premeditatedly murdered her unconscious husband. Unlike the defense, the prosecution and its witnesses have no gain by lying to
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 possible explanation for his action is he knew Ms.King was not in the bed but in the bathroom. He even said himself, that he felt Ms. King moving and turning on the bed beside him. The Fourth one is a doubt that the crowns put in my mind. It was about the possibility that the witnesses could be lying.
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
This shows that he lied in his testimony. He was in the store that day because he told us that he was in the store. He also knew that the robbery happened that day because James king told him about the robbery. He also knew what time the robbery was gonna happen. Similarly, He was giving his testimony in court.
