They both had alibis at the supposed time of murder but that was part of their plan. That morning, Patrick had arranged to meet Arlena at Pixy Cove; he instructed her to hide in a hidden cave if she heard anyone coming. Christine, meanwhile, set Linda’s watch back so she had an alibi then headed to Pixy Cove where she changed to look like Arlena and lay face down. When Patrick came down from his room, he acted surprised not seeing Arlena and volunteered to row out with Emily so he could find her then discovered her ‘dead’. He stayed while Emily left to get the police. Arlena finally came out of the cave after hearing Patrick’s voice which is when he strangled her. Nobody suspected Patrick and Christine because Patrick seemed infatuated with Arlena and Christine depicted herself as a weak, fragile, woman with no athletic…

This aboriginal man claimed to have been there the night of the murder and testifies that Tshuanahusset was the one that murdered William Robinson. Yet, he did not firsthand see Tshuanahusset kill William Robinson, nor did he immediately report him for the murder either. It was fifteen months before Sue Tas went to the authorities with information on the murder, and this rose no suspicion for neither the authorities nor the judicial system. The fact that Sue Tas waited this long to inform the authorities rises suspicion that perhaps he was lying because there was belief that Sue Tas was Tshuanahusset killed. Although this suspicion was out in the open, the authorities and judicial system still solely relied on Sue Tas as the only witness and did not look further into these circumstances. This could have simply been that Sue Tas saw the opportunity to pin an open case murder on Tshuanahusset which would explain why he reported him much later from when the murder actually occurred. Also, Sue Tas was threatened by his own tribe and chief after he went to the authorities and reported Tshuanahusset. This information was set aside by all authorities because they simply did not want to complicate the investigation and close it as soon as possible. This information could have meant that Sue Tas did something that was unforgivable by his tribe and this would not be revealing information, but perhaps this could be that he lied about the information to falsely convict Tshuanahusset. Furthermore, the complication of Sue Tas as the only witness should have encouraged authorities and the judicial system to look further into the murder case of William Robinson and not solely rely on one witness, yet through they perfunctory behaviour they closed the case quickly and…

In the process of the arrest of Brenton Butler, there was no extensive investigation done by the police. During the trial, this fact was admitted by the officers when Pat McGuiness, who was representing Brenton, raised the point of them not questioning neighbours, not checking for DNA on the stolen purse etc. When they arrived at the scene, they asked Mr. Stephens to give them a description of the shooter.

At the age of 17, he was charged with the robbery and shooting of Bobby Lambert. His guilt largely relied on the statement of only one observer that claimed she saw the killer's face for a brief second through her car windshield, 30 to 40 feet away. “Judge Trevathan concluded that Skillen’s identification of Graham at trial was “based solely on [her] independent recollection of the facts as they occurred on May 13, 1981,” and was “made independently of any conversation or processes that were performed by members of the Houston Police Department.” He therefore allowed her to testify.” (Capital Punhiment in Context). Two workers from the grocery store were also witnesses, who seen the assailant at close view. They stated that Graham was not the killer however, Graham’s attorney never interviewed them nor, called as witnesses to testify.

With no fingerprints to speak of, and the one of a kind statement being proved false there is no possible way to prove anything but how the murder happened. Not who did it. The only argument they have against this boy is the fickle testimony of a few people, and a fight between the boy and the father. This is not enough for a conviction. (Rose 24)…
