Casey and Devon had also identified the sweater that Jamie had been wearing when she saw the two. The sweater had been easy to identify since he was the only one wearing a yellow outfit that night. His shoes and his pants were found at the residence and had been entered as exhibits for evidence. There had also been blood on all the clothing that belonged to Pasternak. The back area where they were spotted had been a place only regulars knew about, both Nik and Jamie were regulars which also concludes they were both there. Devon Moore had also spoke about the two not being in the best position when he had an encounter with Nik at the bar. Nik had fired Jamie the night of the crime was committed and Jamie had also mouthed off at another customer, showing signs of aggression. The crown argued that the accused, Jamie Rogers had been intoxicated that night which could be why he had no recollection of the murder of Nik Pasternak. Jamie had also stated that he woke up with bruises and couldn’t remember what happened after being punched, but the accused had gotten home after the …show more content…
If Jamie didn’t comply with the officers, they would have suspicion and they had a warrant; they would search the house with or without Jamie's consent. The defense had also argued that they find Lou Vaquero guilty, but there is no evidence. Lou Vaquero hadn’t been a suspect, he hadn’t been investigated for any bruises or evidence. When Casey Yanagita saw him, she didn’t state whether his clothing had blood or not. Blood on his clothing would catch the eye. The only clothing on the crime scene had belonged to Jamie, his yellow cloth from his sweater had been all over the crime scene. The detective, Mattie Gunderson had stated that all the evidence did lead to the investigation of Jamie Rogers, which is why the accused had been charged. The defence had also argued that Devon Moore didn’t think that Jamie was the murder which is an opinionated statement. There is no hard evidence that Jamie isn’t guilty, the evidence all points to Jamie Rogers. The blood found on Jamie's clothing had belonged to Pasternak and given the situation the two were in, there was tension between the two. Lou Vaquero, the cowboy seen by Casey Yanagita wasn’t able to be
The fact the there are other prints on the weapon does not prove anything, moreover that may have been his plan to clear himself of suspicion. But non the less his prints are still on the murder weapon and he alone has the strongest motive for murder and has the most evidence stacked against his claim of innocence. This claim of defense is practically irrelevant considering the ample amount of evidence proving the defense is in fact
Her case have not yet been solve and the people wanted answers. Myers did not only blame Walter in the Lynn case but told police that Myers have been the actual murder of Ronda Morrison. The police saw that like a way out to get someone take the blame for Ronda’s murder, as police knew Walter had no criminal record and a good reputation, maybe and just maybe
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
The gathering of evidence seemed to be tainted due to not securing the crime scene. “Overtime, the police continued to investigate DNA, including taking advantage of advances in the science and methodology.” (Saferstein, 2015 p.399). A false confessor John Karr, admitted to killing JonBenet in a sexual fantasy but was later exonerated and released due to DNA evidence not placing him at the scene of the crime and he also had a sealed tight alibi placing him elsewhere. It is believed that DNA may have been added to the crime scene from the crime scene investigators or even the lab techs.
On the 19th of September 1992, two deceased bodies of missing backpackers Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke from United Kingdom were found in the Belanglo State Forest, south of Sydney, leading to a subject of an extensive police investigation. Over a year later, another five deceased bodies (Deborah Everist, James Gibson, Simone Schmidl, Gabor Neugebauer and Anja Habschied) were found in the same location as Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke. However, there was a victim who was being able to escape from Ivan Milat named Paul Onions and he was the key witness of this case. In 1994, he helped the police to arrest Ivan Milat and Ivan Milat were found guilty to charge of seven murders.
This upset Holmes even more, who was already depressed from the death of his best friend recently. That night, the the Mecosta County Jail surveillance footage captured of Deputy Ryan Dean, conducting visual inspection of jail cells, walked right by the holding cell of Raymond Paul Holmes without even looking into the holding cell. Rather than conducting a 'visual inspection' of the holding cell of Raymond Paul Holmes to check on his well-being, Deputy Ryan Dean continued his attention on the television which was reportedly broadcasting Monday Night Football as he walked by the locked holding cell of Raymond Paul Holmes. While Raymond Paul Holmes was in the locked-down holding cell hanging himself, Deputy Ryan Dean, at all material times, was reportedly watching Monday Night Football with other inmates rather than concerning himself with the well-being of Raymond Paul Holmes, who had a clear and known risk of suicide. Inmates saw Holmes and told Dean that Holmes had hanged himself.
Steven Avery who is a man from Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault and attempted murder in 1985. At the age of 22, he served 18 years of a 32-year sentenced before being exonerated through DNA testing. After reading the first 10 chapters it makes you wonder why would the police and prosecutors go this far just to see this man in prison. How can the law in enforcement play with somebody's “freedom” like it's a game or a joke…?
1. Reasonable suspicion was defined as less than probable cause (having a reason to search a suspect's person or property) but more than a hunch (an idea or guess of a suspect’s criminal activity) as described in the Supreme Court case, Terry v. Ohio Terry v. Ohio, 1968). In this case and at this point in the investigation, reasonable suspicion (Specific and factual evidence directed towards a search and/or arrest) exists purely because Mr. Wilkens was found driving down the road of the scene right after the murder at 1 hour after midnight. Because he was near the scene of the crime, I would be legally allowed to stop, frisk and question Mr. Wilkens about why he was there, what he was doing at one in the morning and if he was aware of what
A Strand that believe to be Laci was found in a pair of pliers in Peterson’s boat. Therefore, the following evidence that was presented on the behalf of the prosecution evidence during trial was Peterson change his appearance by coloring his hair, the purchaser of a vehicle using his mother’s name to avoid been notice by the media and the adding of pornographic television channel services. Prosecution affirm that Peterson knew his wife wouldn’t be returning home. Peterson suggests on the selling of his home that he shared with Laci and sold her
The accused, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, were guilty of manslaughter. This was proven by the prosecution team through the evidence provided, such as the admittance of guilt, witness 2, and the building codes. The admittance of guilt is a piece of evidence that led me to believe Harris and Blanck guilty of manslaughter, because Harris admitted to having an almost obsession with employee theft. I was led to believe by this evidence that this obsession caused Harris to lock the doors and make the hallways narrow, so that he could check the employees before they left the building. To me, this proves that Harris and Blanck knew the doors were locked, and purposely locked them.
According to Howard, being in that kind of shooting environment and get no blood on your body is not possible and lab researchers say that there was no blood on Sarah’s clothes. However, there was DNA found on Sarah’s bathrobe which Howard was unaware of and defense prosecutors in return questioned Howard’s creditability. Howard brought up the issue regarding collecting the evidence and also countered defense by questioning on their integrity on the state’s investigations. Howard’s contributions helped in reopening the case
A 16 year old is on trial for a murder and he could receive 25 years to life in prison. I could tell you that he is guilty or not guilty, but you have to decide whether he is guilty or innocent with the evidence I provide to you.

Steve Harmon is on trial for the murder of 55 year old Aguinaldo Nesbitt and Steve could possibly receive 25 years to life in prison. Steve said he did not kill Mr. Nesbitt.
A New American Tragedy In the murder case of Laci Peterson her husband Scott Peterson should have been not guilty. Based off the evidence there should be no way he should have been guilty. I will like to further your understanding by presenting the evidence. The evidence that was discovered was that the cause of the death was undetermined and his alibi.
Although Stephanie McPherson and Jay Wilds had different motives for killing Hae Min Lee, they succeed to falsely incriminate Adnan Syed in spite of all the evidence that clears the defendant of this crime. Adnan’s best friend Stephanie McPherson and her boyfriend Jay Wilds both have as much of a motive to murder Hae Min Lee as Adnan Syed does. According to Ms. Muse, a teacher at Woodlawn High, Stephanie was considered “gorgeous inside and out, a lovely girl, just like Hae” (teachers). In such a small high school, the pressure put on the students who want to attend college is monumental. Therefore, only knowing that Hae and Stephanie were two of the most intelligent and athletic girls in the school raises the question to whether they were
There was multiply evidence that, traced back to O.J. Simpson. His blood was recovered and fingerprints were local on the back fence. Later they found his hair in a knit hat at the crime scene, which the same kind of fiber was found on Goldman’s clothing. Fibers from simpson’s car were also similar to the knit hat.
