Son In Law Case Study

Improved Essays
The first person I would have looked at in this case before looking at the evidence would have been Ms. Wrights’s son-in-law David. The reason is because he were found at the crime scene. The first thing I would have been wondering is why Mr. Hill was at his her house without her daughter. I would have found that unusual from the beginning. Then David Hill stated that he found Ms. Wright lying there and that he tried to revive her. That alone would have sent another red flag because if a normal person would have walked into a home and saw someone lying there in a pool of blood, the first thing they would have done is call 911. At trial, Samantha Warna testified that the blood spatter was inconsistent with what Mr. Hill said had happen. If

    Eyewitness identification relies upon the eyewitness memory and the ability for him or her to retain that information and reporting it straight to the police. Memory is considered as evidence because information is being gathered and encoded in memory. Over time the storage holds in the encoded information in the brain until retrieval occurs so the brain can have access to the information. Although memory is not accurate, errors can occur throughout the process of encoding, storage, or retrieval. Even images and sound can deteriorate over time, which makes it hard to recall them back.…

    This also created bias judgement from the judge, David Burnett, who continuously denied innocence of suspects, although strong supporting evidence was present. One of the evidence found was a piece of hair on one of the boy’s shoe lances. With use of advanced DNA technology, the hair was tested and a connection was made with one of the stepfathers, Terry Hobbs. Hobbs told the cops that he had not seen any of the boys that day, but a witness from his neighbourhood contradicted his statement. Due to the bias judgement of the police officers during the investigation, no one took time to question Hobbs’ neighbours to support his statement, but inevitably took his word for it.…

    Summary of Picking Cotton Picking Cotton described the story of a rape victim, Jennifer Thompson, who mistakenly picked Ronald Cotton from a photo lineup and then a live lineup as her assailant. Jennifer had earlier assisted police with an Identi-Kit composite sketch that she had felt was not quite accurate but was put out to the public through local news channels to help identify any possible suspects. Ronald Cotton was a name given to police as a possibility.

She described feeling that it was up to her to choose the right suspect.…
