The Guilty's 'Defense Of Mr. Baumer'

Here is the defence for Mr. Baumer. I believe that Mt. Baumer is innocent. He is an innocent man because he did not poison Slade with the wood alcohol. Even though Mr. Baumer ordered the wood alcohol for the store, Slade was the one who took a drink of the dangerous wood alcohol and Mr. Beumer did not make Slade make that decision. When Slade drank from that barrel it was considered stealing from Mr. Baumer. This is the prosecution of Mr. Baumer. I believe that Mr. Baumer is guilty because of many reasons. Mr. Baumer knew that Slade couldn't read. So he ordered the dangerous wood alcohol to poison Slade. Slade owed Mr. Baumer money. So Mr. Baumer ordered the wood alcohol to kill Slade when he took a small drink of what he thought

    Defenace Blatchford Case

    Defendant Blatchford personally directed Gary Seaton to expose himself to TCE and other toxic chemicals and personally dumped TCE and other toxic chemicals onto the ground outside of the facility. This pollution resulted in contamination to the grounds outside of the Modine/Sundstrand facility as well as the City of Camdenton well, which Gary drank from. Given that decedent was poisoned at home, his family can maintain an independent cause of action for his death. This undermines the entire motion to dismiss. Further, Gary's family can also maintain a civil action for the exposure which occurred at work.…

    Was Mr Bauumer Guilty

    Slade was guilty for his own death because he certainly had it coming his way. In the text it states, “he reached down and took Mr. Baumer’s nose between the knuckles of his fingers and twisted it up into his eyes.” That shows that Slade was being rude and hurting Mr. Baumer and eventually Mr. Baumer would get revenge on him because he had it coming his way. Mr. Baumer is guilty of Slade’s death because Mr. Baumer had tricked Slade into drinking wood alcohol and dying because it was poisonous. In the story it says,”Wood alcohol- deadly poison” so that means Mr. Baumer knew that it was poisonous but still gave it to Slade for him to drink because he wanted revenge and Slade couldn’t read that it was dangerous because he wasn’t literate.…

These individuals were considered possessions, mistreated and abused in the most horrific ways. No rights, no humanity and pushed to the brink. Cornered into a position where concern for laws and a future no longer seem to matter. All was hopeless, no where to turn and completely powerless to make a choice or consider options.…

    The Importance Of The Criminal Trial Process

    Balancing the tension between community interest and individual rights and freedoms are a significant component of the criminal trial process and is relatively successful in that retrospect. In order to be effective and efficient the criminal trial process should reflect the moral and ethical standards of society, ensure the community is sufficiently protected and respects the rights of the individual. However, despite efforts to achieve justice for all members of society, the criminal trial process does fail to provide adequate success in some areas of the law such as the jury system, Legal Aid and the provocation defence. All these areas to an extent highlight the lack of success the criminal trial process serves in balancing community interests…

Mr. Buamer is a owner of a store in Moon dance, Montana, and Slade is a freighter who often works for Mr. Buamer and always stole whisky from Mr. Buamers Inventory when doing his job. Even though it seems to be that Mr. Buamer is the murderer and that he set Slade up for death there is not nearly enough evidence to say he did what he did intentionally to kill Slade. Many places in the story it shows that Mr. Buamer was and wasn't a murderer but there is not enough Indication to prove why Mr. Buamer Was a murderer you can't just assume someone is a killer. Slade is a bad bad man who stole, lied, and didn't pay what he owed.…

    Brenton Butler Case Study

    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.…
