Major H.W Smith then asked Mary if she knew this man and she said,” Before God, sir, I do not know this man, and have never seen him, and I did not hire him to dig a gutter for me.” This is obviously a lie that Louis Powell and Mary Surratt told to Major H.W.

However, Castro received better treatment than his victims, and committed suicide one month after his sentence, so the sliver of justice that was originally served, was now an injustice to his captives. Ariel Castro was abused early in his life and felt abandoned when his mother moved to the United States and left him with his grandmother. After four years, Castro’s mother finally moved him to the Pennsylvania, but later relocated to Cleveland. He led a normal teenage life (Glatt 7-10).

He had just graduated high school, so Dahmer was fairly young. At this point, his dad had moved away and his mom, following the divorce, leaving Dahmer an empty house to fulfill his curiosity of murder.

When he wouldn’t do as Dahmer wanted, he hit Hicks in the head and strangled him to death with a barbell.

They didn’t get very far before being captured by the follower who later came out to be Mr. Ewell. After struggling for a few minutes, someone finally came to their rescue and carried Jem home. Little did they know, their hero was someone they’ve been trying to see for years, Boo. He came out of nowhere, took down Mr. Ewell and carried Jem home to seek help because he was badly hurt. Scout was present and conscious for all of this and didn’t know it was Boo till she saw him quietly standing behind the door, "He was still leaning against the wall.

Anyway, he whacked every window out of the Finch boy’s car.’” (Stanley Basca to Elvis) (page 84) This passage from a trial scene, shows that Not only did Davy have no remorse for killing the two young men, he actually lured them to his home where his family slept unknowing. So, the reader is led to feel sympathetic towards a man who destroyed someone’s vehicle, lured criminals to his family home where his kid brother and sister slept, and then he shot the two boys in front of his eleven-year-old brother. Shooting Basca and Finch was all premeditated. Ruben states “Somehow he was holding the little Winchester he’d carried in the timber that afternoon. And holding it comfortably.” (page 49) Not only did Davy bring the gun to bed with him, but had the gun loaded and ready to go before the light was switched on to see who was at the door.

We were informed that both our aunt and uncle were murdered the day before by their neighbor. In the mid 1990s, this neighbor was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This neighbor lived alone in a home where he possessed 10 firearms. After hearing this news I had mixed feelings of frustration and betrayal.

Another proven false confession, Wayne and Sharmon Stock were found shot to death in an upstairs bedroom in April 17, 2006. Police had no leads, so they focused the investigation toward the family.

Authorities also connected Livers cousin Nicholas Sampson a 28 year-old with first-degree murder.

Coffland had killed his twin girls, submitted suicide, and shot his better half, intentionally abandoning her alive to "endure." Family kill suicides, also called "familicides," are very recognizable to any individual who observes genuine wrongdoing TV or tunes in to podcasts like Sword and Scale.

In the wake of listening to it, they flipped the tape over and found a recorded discussion in which Myers griped intensely that he was being compelled to frame McMillian, whom he didn 't have the faintest idea, for a crime neither of them had any part in. Further examination uncovered that McMillian 's had just been changed over to a "Low-rider" six months after the crime occurred, and that prosecutors had disguised data around a witness who had seen the casualty alive after the time the prosecutors asserted that McMillian had killed her. The two witnesses who had affirmed that they had seen McMillian 's truck withdrawn their affirmation, and conceded that they lied at trial. On February 23, 1993, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals turned around McMillian 's conviction and requested another trial. On March 2, 1993, prosecutors rejected charges against McMillian and he was discharged.
