Fannie's Lunchroom Murder Case Study

Decent Essays
Detective Perez, Detective Elkin, and Detective Ma arrived at the crime scene at 1:22 A.M. after Fannin, a prominent racketeer in Ernie’s lunchroom, was shot and killed by a presently unknown assailant.

As a rule, for an accurate and controlled shot you would need to use your dominant hand, and if this person was using his right hand to lean on the wall, then he must have shot with his left hand. This means that he was using his left hand. With this evidence, it means that person C is the only one that qualifies for this piece of evidence, which means he shot the
