In “The Adventure of the Speckled Band”, Sherlock Holmes first suspects the gypsies. He does this because they were at the scene of the crime and during this time, gypsies were seen as strange, scary people. Gypsies were seen as different, and different was not viewed in a positive light. Different was strange and something to be cautioned.

clear strategy or plan for the investigation. I was very anxious about what the outcome would be in court. The victim needed justice. He had suffered a lot as a result of what had happened to him and I felt as if I owed it to him, to ensure that the suspect was punished for the crime.

Concepts that have helped me through this journey of learning was the assignments, videos, and discussions inside/ outside of the classroom. All of the following has helped me breach a new…

contact with the suspect, and what it meant to file charges against the suspect if she were to follow through with a report. Moser was concerned about having to remain present in a court room with the suspect and if she would have to testify in front of the suspect. Moser was concerned about what all her friends would think or believe because the suspect has already lied to her friends and placing the blame on her. Moser was worried about what this report would do to the suspect because he…

but not dispositive. See id. at 262. Furthermore, whether someone is a suspect or witness relevant only if officers expressly communicate this to the person questioned. Stansbury v. California, 511 U.S. 318, 324 (1994). The Supreme Court explained that the subjective views of neither the officer nor the person questioned are relevant for determining custody. Id. at 323.
