Sherlock Holmes Responsible For The Death Of Dr. Roylott

616 Words3 Pages

The death of the wretched Dr. Roylott raises a question pertaining to his murder. It seems apparent that Sherlock Holmes is indirectly responsible for the demise of the doctor; although, the detective is not guilty of the crime. Sherlock Holmes lacks the prerequisites required to be branded as a killer. However, Sherlock Holmes had planned for the death of Dr. Roylott; the detective was not directly responsible for the death of the doctor. There is no way that Sherlock Holmes knew the location of Dr. Roylott; the position of the cruel doctor was positioned just so as to enable the swamp adder to bite – and kill – him. The death of Dr. Roylott had been justified; Sherlock Holmes does not deserve retribution. Many argue that Sherlock Holmes

  • Why Is Mr Bennett Not Guilty For 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.

  • R. V. Schoenborn Case Study

    1344 Words  | 6 Pages

    Schoenborn not criminally responsible for the murder of his children is undisputable and an appropriate decision based on the evidence and the administration’s objectives. The actus reus of the case cannot be disputed, as the accused confessed to the crime and both the defence and the crown agree that Mr. Schoenborn killed his children. However, the mental element of the crime is arguable, as the possibility of Mr. Schoenborn being in a psychotic state during the time of the offence is high. The evidence to support the fact that he did not form the mens rea of the crime can be derived from his history of mental illness as well as the evidence given by Ms. Clarke that he was a good and caring father. This demonstrates that he greatly cared for his children and their safety but was prone to having psychotic episodes that muddled his mind and led him to commit dangerous and unusual acts.

    Furthermore, Holmes did not keep the bodies of his victims like many other murderers, he found no gratification from it. What Holmes yearned for and felt pleasure from was feeling a sense of possession over his victims as they begged for mercy, and unfortunately once they died that feeling quickly dissipated. As a result, Holmes’s desire for power and control could never be fully satisfied and because of this he feels the need to kill again and again. After reading this passage I felt repulsed at the fact that Holmes murdered solely to gain pleasure from the sense of power and possession he felt. It is disgusting to envision Holmes standing there, with a menacing look on his face, enjoying the control he exerts over his victims as they die, slow, painful deaths.

    Was Friar Laurence the one to blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet? Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, concerns two lovers from two feuding families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Throughout the story, many characters contributed problems leading to the death of the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet; however, I believe Friar Laurence had the most responsibility in this issue. Friar Laurence was a monk and a counselor who came up with underhanded plots in order to help the two star-crossed lovers succeed with their love. Unfortunately, these plots led Romeo and Juliet into wrongdoings and unwanted deaths.

But for the sake of your good sister, I am willing to give you the chance of another way out. There might be, for instance, an overdose of a sleeping draught.
