Bobbie Bann's Case

Trial Write-Up
For the trial I was a lawyer for the Crown and did the cross-examination of Bobbie Bann and the closing statements. Our group’s goal was to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Bobbie Bann knew he was shooting Fallon King. We focused in on a few different areas, what possible motives Mr. Bann would have and the different holes in the story Bobbie Bann presented to the court. Looking first as the noise he woke up to, it was only the weathervane scratching against the roof, a noise he should’ve recognized as it happened often. 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. The most logical explanation is that the door had to have been open for the last shot to have been delivered without

    Jack’s attorney moved to dismiss the charges of the attempt murder of Bert on the ground that Jack could not have killed Bert due to the malfunctioning of his gun, I think that the court made a wrong decision because first of all Jack tried to murder Bert which is attempt of murder and Jack should do sometime in prison. Throughout the case the court should had found Jack guilty because if Jack’s gun did not jam he would of shoot and killed Bert which is 1st degree murder and that can sentence him 25 to life. The court should look at the case in many different many ways because let’s say perhaps if Jack killed Bert the court would have found him guilty but since Jack did not kill Bert the court found him innocent. If Jack tried to murder someone…

    Farquharson's Case Study

    The investigative stage and the analysis of evidence recovered are critically important as they will go on to form the prosecution’s case against the accused (Langdon & Wilson, 2005). Brookman, (2005) notes that in this early investigative phase of gathering evidence from a crime scene, it’s not unusual for errors to be identified, as the crime scene is often a scene of chaos, as police officers and investigative teams gather together. The combination of forensic crime scene errors and the over-reliance on circumstantial evidence may often lead to wrongful convictions. Consequently it is on these grounds that Farquharson’s was granted a retrial, with Victoria's highest court finding that a "miscarriage of justice" had occurred (Milovanovic,…
