Maloy Vs. Burlington: Case Study

Decent Essays
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.
The next test we took was a blood test that showed Matthew Maloy and Timothy Taylor share the same blood type of B+ with the victim. B+ blood was also found in the victim’s car, cabin, and tire iron which means Timothy Taylor and Matthew Maloy may have been in contact with these places
We then inspected the tire tracks found outside of the victim’s cabin and found that they are an exact match of Matthew Maloy’s tires meaning his vehicle is likely the vehicle used for escape after the crime.

Maloy is also a prominent animal rights activist who has trying to save Lake Larson and has been unsuccessful because of Robert Burlington. This motive drove him to to drive to the mayor’s cabin and beat him with the tire iron before shooting him dead. During this conflict he left the animal hair there along with his blood and fingerprints. He then drove away leaving his tire tracks, and because of this Maloy had no alibi. All evidence points to this being the truth and while some test may have been inaccurate it is highly unlikely that all of the test failed which is why I believe Matthew Maloy should be tried and arrested for the murder of Robert

    Today the land taken in the City of New London lies empty, as a result of the failing plans the NLDC constructed to economically revitalize New London. The Kelo v. City of New London case faced tremendous backlash because it allowed the federal government to seize anyone's property for supposed economic improvement rather than actual public use. This unintended backlash was so strong causing a majority of states to pass laws that were aimed at nullifying Kelo-style takings of private property. Richard Palmer, one of the state supreme court justices who voted with the majority, later apologized to Susette Kelo, telling her he “would have voted differently” had he known what would happen.

    In the Kelo v. New London court case, Suzette Kelo and eight petitioners opposed a eminent domain taking “projected to create in excess of 1,000 jobs, to increase tax and other revenues, and to revitalize an economically distressed city” (“Kelo” 472). Suzette Kelo claimed the “extensive improvements” that she had made on her house justified her ability to block this development plan (476). Others claimed that their “investment properties,” because they were not “blighted or otherwise in poor condition,” could not be taken by the government (476). Do Kelo’s and the other defendants’ claim to their property through proper maintenance and labor supersede the governments right to repossess the properties for economic development?…

    The ruling, which occurred during the Vietnam War, granted the students the right to express their political opinions as long as they did not disrupt the classroom. Their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights could not be restricted based on a “general fear of disruption,” which is what the administration argued. According to Justice Fortas, who wrote the majority opinion, the protest was a “silent, passive expression of opinion.” Though a few hostile comments had been made to the students who were wearing armbands, there had been no threats or acts of violence. Also, there had not been any findings that the armbands would substantially interfere with school operations or more importantly, harm the rights of other students.…
