To make a convincing case against James Ray, I would first present his commitment to criminal behavior so the jury fully understood he was a career criminal (Saferstein, 2015).…

    In a homicide investigation, there are many factors which may impact the likelihood of a successful case. In order for a suspect to be convicted on trial, investigative processes must be followed that involve several imperative elements. However, sometimes these procedures aren’t followed and it is in these circumstances that major errors and flaws in the inquiry process are exhibited. It is then due to this that recommendations and frameworks must be created in order to avoid such weaknesses in future cases. Although, sometimes extrinsic factors, such as the influence of the media, may also impact the outcomes of such cases.…
