We have enough evidence to prove that Mrs. Wright is guilty. Mrs. Wright’s house was not a cheerful place. Mr. and Mrs. Wright did not have any children.

    Arguments and evidence presented by the prosecution as well as both the council for Ponder and the council for Yilma allowed for the majority of the truth of the case to be put before the jury, and resulted in justice in Ponder’s case, but not in Yilma’s. The prosecution team’s preparation of evidence allowed for the truth regarding the murder charge to come out, however, we did not present enough to convict either defendant of robbery because of the lack of physical evidence that would suggest a robbery took place. Both defense teams made attempts to discredit the evidence utilized by the prosecution, but only Yilma’s defense was successful. Although Yilma’s defense team was successful in having her found not guilty, I believe that this decision…

The poem references the raven which casts a shadow over a majority of the story, symbolizing the emotions and realizations of the character. Although the raven is seemingly an actual creature, it is actually a metaphor to represent the character’s grief throughout the poem.…
