Chapter 10 project
Activity 1) Investigators can use such evidence to disprove the suspects alibi. The witness was reported to have been seen near the area in the car at about 10:15 while the witness also claims that he was at home on the phone at 10:00 pm. This can be proven impossible since it would take at least 30 minutes for one to get to the suspect’s house as well that one cannot be in two places at once. More compelling evidence would also be that the car’s engine shouldn’t be hot after the suspects alleged 60 minute time period between when the suspect was driving the car and at home.

Activity 2)

Activity 3)

Activity 4)
1)

This information tells us that the vehicle stopped running approximately 17 minutes ago by finding the constant k value, the vehicle would have only had this amount of time to cool down after being run.

2)

Investigation Report

The suspect’s alibi was stated that he arrived home at approximately 10:00 and then had a telephone conversation until 10:20; his location previous to his arrival time was at a friend’s house who agrees with this statement. His alibi can be proven untruthful with the given evidence. Eye witnesses at the crime scene had seen the suspect in his vehicle at approximately 10:15 (during the crime). Investigators realized that it would take one 30 minutes to travel from the crime scene to the suspects home. When investigators arrived at his house at approximately 11:00 they took temperature readings of his engine and then additional temperature readings 10 minutes later. The initial temperature reading was at 150 and the second was at 130, usual running temperature for this vehicle is at 200. Through mathematics we found that the if the suspects alibi was true the vehicles temperature should have been at 93 not 150 when investigators arrived there. Through additional mathematics the vehicle was found to be stopped running about 17 minutes before

    It is understandable that when one is involved in a case that can lead to time in jail, when it is the appellants turn to talk, the appellant might say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It is known that at one point the appellant had said, he had never driven the green Cadillac that belongs to cristabel pierce. However, on page three paragraph nine evidence shows that the appellant was seen driving the green Cadillac. This shows that the appellants purpose of lying was truly to not seem guilty, and to not be incriminated by his actions. The green Cadillac that the appellant was seen driving that day belonged to Cristabel pierce, the mother of his kids. It is not a coincidence that all of the stolen property was found in cristabels house, where the green Cadillac was parked, Hernandez, who lived across the street also testified on page sixteen paragraph thirteen, that he had asked the appellant what he was doing and he replied by saying he was helping Bernadette move her things, that she knew he was there. Which is not true. Therefore, all of those incidents that prove the appellant is not speaking the truth, make him not only loose credibility but makes him seem more guilty.…

    The prosecution’s evidence was a mere form of judgment and based on eyewitnesses, in which there was a lack of credible evidence that was positively proved in this case.

    If I were a part of a jury, I would not trust the eyewitness testimony. There are many factors I would need to look at in order to come to a conclusion. I would ask myself, has the witness ever saw the accused person before? They are more likely to be able to identify someone if they had met or seen the person before. According to the video on www.cbsnews.com, "The Bunny Effect", false memories were proven to be a definite possibility. Memory can be altered via suggestion. People can be led to remember their past in different ways, and they even can be led to remember entire events that never actually happened to them. When these sorts of distortions occur, people are sometimes confident in their distorted or false memories, and often go on to describe the pseudo memories in substantial detail. The process of interpretation occurs at the very formation of memory therefore introducing distortion from the beginning. Witnesses can distort their own memories without the help of examiners, police officers or lawyers. Rarely do we tell a story or recount events without a purpose. Every act of telling and retelling is tailored to a particular listener; we would not expect someone to listen to every detail of our morning commute, so we edit out extraneous material. The act of telling a…
