The Case Of Mr. Baumer To Blame For The Murder Of Slade

Improved Essays
Mr. Baumer could have killed Slade, but maybe he didn’t. Slade shouldn’t have drunk Mr. Baumer’s alcohol anyway, it’s his fault. Mr. Baumer could’ve done it on purpose because he knew Slade wouldn’t read the label, and would die. As of now Mr. Baumer is on trial for the murder of Slade. Prosecution how do you plead?

Mr. Baumer is in fact guilty, he murdered Slade. He made sure Slade continuously drank his alcohol, then he put poison in its place. He knew Slade wouldn’t be able to read the label so it was perfect. He could even use the excuse that he froze to death, but it was clearly Mr. Baumer. What clearly drove Mr. Baumer to this was revenge, Slade had “roughed him up” once, he didn’t want it to happen again. Defense how do you plead?

Baumer is in fact not guilty for the murder of Slade. It was clearly the cold that drove Slade to his terrible state, not wood alcohol. If Slade even drank the wood alcohol, that was a mistake. Not only because it was Mr. Baumer’s, but because he couldn’t read, and he didn’t know what was in it. This was not driven by Mr. Baumer’s need for revenge, it was driven by Slade need for alcohol. That is why Mr. Baumer is not

    As well, our goal was to show that the neighbourhood was safe and not a threat, proving that Bobbie should not have to jumped to such a conclusion so quickly. Furthermore, he never noticed Fallon was not in the bedroom or even considered that she could have been the person in the toilet. The Crown wanted to show through our questioning of Mr. Bann that if the circumstances were how he said, he would have noticed Fallon was not there. He also never once called the police, which we asked about to show that he did not call the police because he knew that someone was not breaking in and that he was shooting at Fallon. Our last piece of evidence was the three bullet holes in the door and four bullet wounds on Fallon King’s body.…

    In A Lesson Before Dying,an African American man is wrongly convicted of murder. Jefferson's attorney completely dehumanizes Jefferson in order to use reverse psychology on the jury. This was unnecessary because during the 1940’s people of color were never declared innocent even if they were. Basically if you were black no justice would be served. Furthermore, the attorney makes it clear that Jefferson is no where close to being a man and therefore shouldn’t be killed.…

    Ben Pollizi Mrs. Kimmich English 10 Advanced 15 April 2017 Sacco and Vanzetti Shortly after World War 1, the United States was soon gripped with a massive fear of communists, foreigners, and anything that wasn’t American. This fear was taken out on anyone who was in America that wasn’t American. One key example of this was the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti. These two men moved to America before World War 1 had begun. Due to the fact that Sacco and Vanzetti were both Italian immigrants, and were convicted of their crime during a time of massive hatred toward foreigners, the justice system disregarded all the reasonable doubt in their case and declared them guilty.…

    Over the course of the years, many have been wrongfully convicted and accused of crimes they did not commit. The mission of the judicial system is to prove your guilt and if they can successfully do so beyond a reasonable doubt, then you will be convicted of that crime. Everyone walks into the court innocent until proven guilty, but unfortunately some proven guilty people are still very much innocent. In one case where this so happened to be true was during the case of Brenton Butler. Brenton Butler was accused of allegedly robbing and murdering an elderly woman at a nearby hotel in his hometown Jacksonville, Florida.…

    Persuading someone to take your side in an argument is not an easy task to accomplish. There are many things a person must learn in order to become an effective persuader. In the movie twelve angry men, persuasion plays a huge role; as the jury has to decide whether the boy (who is accused of murdering his father) is guilty or innocent. This movie is a great example of ad hominem; which is a logical fallacy in which the argument is countered by attacking the person, their motive, or other things relating to the person who is making the argument. In the movie, every juror is convinced that the boy is guilty of the crime; but there is one juror, juror number eight pleads not guilty.…

Thank you for bringing your attention to this matter and listening to what I have to say. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there is a difference between self-defense and an over-reaction.
