    After reviewing all the evidence I have come to the conclusion that Matthew Maloy Murdered Robert Burlington. I have come to this conclusion using entomology and through the use of fingerprint, blood, tire track, and hair analysis. The fingerprint tests´ showed us that the only people who touched the bloody tire iron were Nicole Burlington and Matthew Maloy. Nicole Burlington is the spouse of the victim so her touching the item is reasonable but Matthew Maloy touching it is strange especially because we later learned Matthew Maloy shares the same blood type found on the tire iron meaning this was possibly the murder weapon.…

    Crime statistics cannot simply be compared by looking at the number of a certain type of crime occurring in two different areas.

This is significantly less than the population of Warwick, which is 400,000. It is natural, since Warwick has a larger population, that there would be far more crime occurring.…

    Introduction Detroit, Michigan is a unique city boasting of an iconic past, a gloomy present, and a potentially bright future.
