Len Brenden’s attorney doesn’t try and help Brenden at all throughout the case because he believes Brenden is innocent. On May 12th they denied Brenden’s statement because it was not good enough. They questioned Brenden without an attorney and it was probably the worst thing they have ever done to him. They tell Brenden they don’t want any more lies that they wanted nothing but the truth. They ask him “would you ever do this again” Brenden’s response was no because I didn’t do it in the first place.

Good afternoon. My name is Jacob Abuelhawa and I am the defense attorney for Abby Lee Miller. In the case that the prosecutor has presented to you, there is insufficient evidence to prove guilt.

Guilty or not we see multiple people at the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in the “Ending Happy.” Lorenzo ‘Happy’ Morales, the victim, was a middleweight boxer who had rough times and now fallen all the way down ending up at Binky’s Sugar Cane Ranch. Where there were multiple conditions contributing but not related to the immediate cause of the dead of Morales, some including contusion, BFT-crowbar, trachea punctures, crossbow, anaphylaxis, shellfish, urethra – P.O.E. and genitals distended. Yet not the cause of Morales death, there are still people to prosecute for the attempting murder. As the evidence reveals that Connor Foster and Dreama are found equally guilty for attempting murder and that my clients; Doris and George Babinkian are not

Innocent until proven guilty is a phrase the United States justice system says we abide by but in many cases this seems to falter from true. Due to various factors such as tunnel vision, faulty forensics, false confessions, improper identification, missing evidence and the list could go on; all of these reasons can lead to a biased trial and ultimately lead to a wrongful conviction. Julie Rea was a single mom convicted of the murder of her ten year old son Joel Kirkpatrick on October 13th, 1997. This twenty-eight year old mom and her son lived in a rural area in Lawrence, Illinois that was referred to as a quaint little town that very rarely saw any crime so when the news of sweet little Joel Kirkpatrick being murdered got out it sent the

In Susan Griffin’s “Our Secret,” Griffin seems to be trying to give answer to the reasons as to why people, such as herself, grow up into their characters and what past experiences influence the behaviors they exhibit. Her focus seem to be towards the reasons for why people do the negative things. She also continues to explain how everyone contains a secret of their own and that these secrets are commonly masked by a facade and that the way these secrets may be expressed differ from person to person. In attempt to help the readers understand how our past has a huge impact on our future Himmler’s childhood is used as an example. She claims that the current state of everything in existence may have been influence or predestined by the occurrence

Christina Guttieriez, his defense attorney, failed to provide a coherent trial for Adnan, and didn’t prove much to the jurors. In the court trial she talked extremely slow and kind of in an obnoxious way to where no point was made. She just talked and talked but never got to the point or conclusion. She failed to use Asia Mcclain’s allibi, which she claims that she saw Adnan at the library at the time of the murder. She even backs up her evidence and says “my boyfriend and his best friend remember seeing you there too, (exhibit 2)1”

“If you carry your childhood with you, you never become old” (Stoppard). Susan was born in Springfield, Illinois, on October 13, 1862.

However, this story of Mrs. Stephens being helpless is all the defense has. But how can you, the jury, believe a story from a woman that would lie to doctors, to police,

After a twelve-hour interrogation, Brenton Butler confessed to the murder of Mary Ann Stephens. A key claim made by the defense attorneys in this case was that this was a false confession, and after reaching a verdict of not guilty, the jury clearly agreed. The factors that led the false confession were laid out in a scene during the documentary. Instead of using the interview to discover the truth, the interrogators specifically sought out a confession from the suspect. They began the interrogation with the presumption that Brenton Butler was guilty.

He says the defendant accused of murder was let off and “eight years later they found out that he’d actually done it, anyway” (12). Prejudice clouds a person’s judgement and does not allow the individual to see all the facts. It only allows them to

Bailiff: “All rise. Department one of the superior court is now in session. Please be seated.” Judge: “Good morning ladies and gentlemen, calling the case of King Duncan’s murder versus Macbeth. Are both sides ready?”

(Roach, 83). As previously mentioned, the mental element can’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, thus making Mr. Schoenborn a morally innocent person. Any other verdict would have violated this principle on which the legal administration is founded on
