Thomas Randall Case Analysis
The verdict is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant Thomas Randall should have anticipated the destructive consequences of his behavior in providing alcohol and encouraging the minor Kelly Greene to drink excessively at the party, as stated by witness William Doyle in his testimony in court. When she left party he should have realized Kelly Greene was in no condition to drive a vehicle when walking her to car, as witnessed by Helen Brook at her testimony in court. This makes him responsible for the death of Melissa Anderson’s young life ending.

    Judge and jury, I beg thee to charge Ms. Maloney with the murder of Patrick Maloney. Why would the perfectly stable Mary Maloney randomly decide to kill her husband? What would cause a perfectly sane woman to do such a heinous crime? As you are aware, Patrick Maloney was a well-respected member of the police force. To all who knew him he was a good man. He never had any enemies, and was very committed to his job. So how did this good man end up dead? Supposedly, Mr. Maloney was alleged of having an affair. However, Mr. Maloney is no longer around to testify to that fact. If Ms. Maloney had heard of this alleged affair, maybe that drove her to murder him. There is sufficient evidence showing that Ms. Maloney was the murderess. Number one, there…

    The case of my client, Patricia Stallings, is one with great controversy. We have opened her case again because of substantial evidence of her innocence. I believe that my client is innocent of the charges the court has wrongly fully accused her of. True, at the beginning of the case it seemed like a classic case of an abusive mother poisoning her own child; however with the birth of her 2nd child, David Jr., important new evidence was discovered. He suffered from the same symptoms that Ryan had suffered. But how could David Jr. be poisoned when his mother was behind bars? More testing was done on Ryan’s blood and many laboratories have found strong evidence in the possibility of…

    1) The media comes up with their own ideas on the case and sways everyone else's opinion and half of the information stated is false. The media should not play a role in the legal system and it should be left to the court. I don't think we should tell the media as much as we do because they tend to sway opinions.…

Ms. Milan Jackson did not face any threat from Chris Archer on the night of her death. Ms. Jackson was a troubled young woman who can be confidently determined to have a mental disorder.

While in primary school, Milan Jackson was a target for teasing among the other elementary students. Prior to entering college, her perfectionist nature and eating disorder had kept her bullies at bay, as well as any drastic…

    Finch gave a convincing argument, the jury was left to decide their votes. Under normal circumstances a jury in a black man versus white man trial only takes a few minutes to an hour. When the jury dragged on for a long two hours, Tom’s side put up an early celebration for the win in the trial, but when they came out two hours later the votes where anonymous, Tom was guilty. There was no solid proof that Tom raped Mayella so everyone is wondering…”what led the jury to vote guilty?” it’s a shame that cases like this are happening in our time. Towns like this are corrupt and evil, putting an innocent man to death because of the skin he was born with, something he can’t help. I came to Macomb to see it for once, good choices would prevail, but once again I was let down. Best of luck to Tom Robinson and his…
