"A" Is for Alibi

fifth amendment as a reason to not give the name of witnesses that could corroborate his story as an alibi. He also said that the fact that he was getting a six-man jury rather than a 12-man jury, violated his constitutional rights. The jury ended up convicting him of robbery with a life sentence. His claims of violation of his right to a jury and right to not incriminate himself by providing an alibi, which would in turn give the state the opportunity to find a way to rebut his testimony, were…

It is suspicious, how Jay remembered every detail about that day, he had an alibi with his best friend Jen, the afternoon the crime was committed. He also carefully cleaned up and destroyed all the evidence that connected him with the crime, like his clothes, boots and shovels (Season One). Curiously, the police didn’t see him as…

How can somebody be held up in prison for something there isn’t exactly proof of them doing? Roosevelt Myles was given the chance for another court hearing over a decade ago. Miles claims that he is not found guilty...could he be a so called “Shawshank Redemption Case”? Later investigation revealed that there has been at least 51 people who has accused Detective Guevara of wrongly framing them of murders. Myles says he got beat by a flashlight and phone book by Detective Anthony Wojcik while two…

has an alibi that he was in the library on January 13th in the time period where Hae would’ve been killed. To back it up he also has a witness, Asia McClain. “When I first heard about the long-lost Asia letters and the lawyer's mistake, I thought, well, their fight is over, right? They've got an alibi witness who was never heard from. It's such a slam dunk. They're done” (Sarah Koenig-Episode 1-Serial) that’s what you would think when you heard that Adnan had an alibi, but what’s an alibi if…

that he was a nice and wonderful guy. Sarah is talking to Rabia about Adnan and how she and other people thinks about him. For examples, in the transcript and podcast, Rabia stated, “He was like the community's golden child” (Episode 1: The Alibi pg 5). Here, a girl named Rabia is pointing out that Adnan was a good guy and not a bad guy. Also, a lot of people around his community calls him the “golden child”. This proves that Adnan wasn’t the one that killed Hae because if Adnan was…

practice at 3:30. Even if someone did believe that Adnan was telling the truth, and went to track practice that day, which there is no evidence of, it still would not have given him an alibi for the critical 21 minutes in which Lee was murdered. Lee was murdered sometime between 2:15 and 2:36 and Adnan has no alibi for that time. Not only that but the only person who claims to have seen him in that time frame “called one of the prosecutors in… the case…and undermined her own statement” proving…

police have received enough information about a crime they pursue the investigation process. It took police 11 months to gather enough evidence to arrest Gonzales. The investigation process was long and Gonzales repeatedly misled police and gave false alibis which he paid to keep his story. Upon arrival the police witness the father and mother’s bodies of Gonzales, they were lifeless and blood stained covered the bodies and the floor, there was no sight of the murder weapons (baseball bat and…

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…

it 's bits and pieces that comes from what other people have said that they remember, right?” (Koenig, “The Alibi”). This quote from Adnan does not make one bit of sense. How doesn 't Adnan remember where he was at and what he was doing during the time of his just recently murdered ex-girlfriend? He also has no recollection of what he was doing during the time of the murder so he has no alibi. “The problem is, when you ask Adnan to go back and tell his version of what happened that day, to…

1. What is meant by the phrase “the rule of law,” as used in a democratic society? The rule of law and democracy go hand in hand. The rule of law states that law should govern a nation and that the nation should not be governed by individual government officials.
