Boy Killed His Father Evidence

Improved Essays
The case against the boy killing his father is very easy to me. I know without a doubt that the kid is not guilty because of evidence regarding the stab wound, eye witness of the crime through train, and finally the old man’s faulty testimony. The first piece of evidence is how the stab wound couldn't have been from the boy, the second piece of evidence is that the lady couldn't have seen the killing clearly, and the third piece of evidence is how the old man fabricated his testimony.

The first piece of evidence I will be discussing is the stab wound on the father. The mortician himself said that the the father was stabbed from a downward angle. There’s nothing out of the ordinary with that right? Wrong, the boy couldn’t have stabbed the father from a downward angle because the boy was shorter than the father. Either the boy stabs at an awkward angle or it wasn't him. Not to mention it may not have been the same knife the boy claims to have lost, i say this because someone in the jury had a nearly identical knife thus proving it may not have been the knife the boy bought and lost the same day. This proves that the stab wound couldn’t have been from the boy.

Her testimony nearly caused the boy his life and she should be put in jail. She said she saw the boy kill his father but in reality she didn’t have her glasses because she was in bed, and we know she wears glasses because we saw her with some in court today anyway and she was in her bed looking through a train without glasses and then she claims to have clearly seen it. At most she saw a blurry blob stab another blurry blob. That is all I have to say and unlike her I CAN CLEARLY SEE this boy is not

    Steve Harmon Is Inhumane

    I believe that sixteen-year-old Steve Harmon is not guilty of the homicide. The night of the convenience store robbery, Steve found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time which put him in the situation he is in now. The defendant Steve should be considered not guilty because there wasn’t enough evidence of any to accuse him of being at the crime when it happened. In the hearing, we all know the stories and testimonies that occurred that day and who was supposedly involved but they never mentioned Steve’s name at the scene. For example, on page 32, a witness named Jose Delagdo states, “I didn’t take inventory right away, I just noticed.…

    The verdict of not guilty was pushed on the end resulting in the boy freedom, although I personally do not believe the evidence got the guilty or non-guilty side was strong enough to provide a real verdict, My reasoning behind this is the guilty evidence was all here say and had many issues with being believable as well as reliable information, the side for not guilty was mostly speculation, or twisted evidence. We can look at the last piece of evidence presented at number four that made him change his verdict of guilty to non-guilty and that is the witness with the glasses marks on her nose, By having these parks we can assume that she needed her glasses mostly full time in her everyday life to see meaning she probably had poor eyesight although we will never know if she was nearsighted or farsighted we can assume in this case that it would have been mandatory for her to have them on to see the murder happen across the railway, however she stated that she was trying to sleep and people with glasses tend to take them off upon laying down. Now she…

In reality the man who was picked looked identical to the actual man involved, but it was not him, both of these cases are unfair because neither of them give physical evidence indicating it was them who did the…

    In his play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose brings us back in time to 1957, to a jury room of a New York Court of Law where one man, Juror #8, confronts the rest of the jury to look at a homicide case without prejudice, and ultimately convinces Juror #2, a very soft-spoken man who at first had little say in the deliberation. Throughout the play, several jurors give convincing arguments that make one think about whether the boy is “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ultimately, one is convinced by ethos, logos, and pathos. We can see ethos, logos, and pathos having an effect on Juror #2 as he begins as a humble man and changes into someone brave at the end. Although all three modes play a part in convincing Juror #2, pathos is the most influential because…

    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.…

    As juror #4 said, “the storekeeper identified the knife and said it was the only one of its kind he had in stock. Why did the boy get it?” Juror # 4 is being unfairly just because the storekeeper said the knife its only kind. That does not mean he did it! For my concern there is no fingerprints has been taken to the lab and showing evidence about the boy supposedly he got the knife.…

    This also created bias judgement from the judge, David Burnett, who continuously denied innocence of suspects, although strong supporting evidence was present. One of the evidence found was a piece of hair on one of the boy’s shoe lances. With use of advanced DNA technology, the hair was tested and a connection was made with one of the stepfathers, Terry Hobbs. Hobbs told the cops that he had not seen any of the boys that day, but a witness from his neighbourhood contradicted his statement. Due to the bias judgement of the police officers during the investigation, no one took time to question Hobbs’ neighbours to support his statement, but inevitably took his word for it.…

    As humans we tend to point fingers very quickly. This young boy was given a fair trial but to what extent? The witnesses were not very reliable but the jury tried to pin any evidence they could on the boy to make sure he was guilty. They were quick to accuse the kid of murdering his father because of how the boy lived. The jurors had nowhere else to put the blame on so they assumed it must be placed on the boy.…

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. There is also a difference between what establishes reasonable doubt, and what adds up to just excuses made by the defendant. It has been confessed by many other little boys that Simon was stabbed repeatedly by Jack and the rest of them with sharp spears.…

    A few examples would be with juror 7- voted guilty because he had a baseball game to get to, and after a long while of arguing juror 8 decided that if no one else votes not guilty then he would vote guilty and that would be the concluding verdict. The first alliance is at the beginning after everyone but juror 8 voted guilty. Juror 9 steps in and gives him a chance to explain why he doesn't find the boy guilty. This juror didn't get offended or ignorant to what juror 8 had to say. As the day goes by, jurors 3,7 and 10 make an alliance that would eventually change as more and more thoughts are said.…
