While reading the case about Mr.Hossack 's murder i saw the wife, Mrs.Hossack, as innocent at first. The children all claimed that the two did not argue for over a year, so why would she kill him now verses a year ago? When the youngest child, Ivan Hossack, came to the stand and "told his story in a straight, unhesitating manner" it made it easier for me to believe in Mrs. Hossack 's innocence. The child even said that he saw his mother aiding his father when he called out for help. If she had been the one to swing the axe, why would she help him and risk getting in trouble? Most importantly, if he was conscious and talking, why wouldn 't he say who to murderer was? He could have easily identified his wife in the dark after being married for over twenty years, and yet he didn 't identify who had tried to kill him. Dr. Dean first stated that the axe did not hit the speech portion of the brain, so he could have been conscious and yelling out for his wife. Dean later stated that the fatal blow from the axe would have left Mr.Hossack unconscious. The murder weapon had blood on in and apparent hairs stuck to one side; "Prof. John L. Tilton of Simpson college... was unable to say definitely that the hair had been

Mary was heartbroken when she came home and found her beloved husband lying dead on the ground. However, the cause of death was a mystery. When the police had arrived at the scene of the crime, it had looked like someone broke into their home and that they were looking for something.

The only information that Mary could provide was that he seemed a little ‘off’ coming home from work that he had been stressed out about something.

As it was found out later, the arrest was the result of the false report provided by the man who claimed that Lawrence possessed weapons at his home.

John Igagni’s murder, although unsolved, can be explained using modern day theories and approaches to crime. Edward O. Wilson’s socio-biological approach and the theory of differential association, both can be utilized when explaining the murder of John Igagni. Wilson’s theory analyzes the crime using a much larger scale of time and focuses on the adaptive history behind the action and the root instinct that motivates the behavior. In this approach, Wilson is affirming the thoughts of territoriality and how the instinctual need for territory that use to be prevalent in an earlier generation still impacts behavior today (O’Brady, 2014). Why this murder was committed could also be explained using the theory of differential association as this

I asked if the police could get Mr. Bone`s assistant, since all the workers were present. James Blue soon came, and I started to interrogate him. He seemed nervous, fidgeting, but I could tell he wasn't guilty, just nervous.
This event was an interview of Anthony Ray Hinton, a man who was on death row for 30 years for a crime he didn’t commit. The interview lasted 90 minutes where he was asked questions and in turn told his story. He first began by talking about life as a kid in Alabama during segregation. He described the separate schools, the drinking fountain policy, and overall how black weren’t a loud to do anything the white people did. However, he said segregation never bothered him as a child and that it was something one just got used to.

On April 2, she missed school again. The next day the Gruber’s neighbors decided to call the local authorities to investigate.

When he is pressured into going on the stand as a witness for the trial of his neighbor’s murder, since he is not clearly investigated, he causes more harm than help. If the police investigated Edwin, they would know that he knew nothing definite about the day, location, or victim of the crime. When Edwin goes on the stand, his fickle, uncertain ideas debilitate the evidence provided, and leave the judge uninfluenced and confused. He states that, in testifying in a murder case, he does “not like to speak ill of people” (Ustinov, 375). It would not take an extensive investigation to understand that Edwin is completely incapable of serving as a viable witness in such a grim case. Following Edwin’s flurry of useless accounts, the judge states to Edwin, “…your evidence here today has been…the most misleading and the most illogical” (Ustinov, 381). If the police investigated Edwin, and did not pressure him as the “key witness”, the verdict would have been reached more
