Trash, by Andy Mulligan, is a story about three boys. Raphael is a dumpsite boy. He spends his days going through mountains of trash, and sleeping next to it. Then one unlucky-lucky day, Raphael's world is turned around. A small leather bag falls into his hands. It's a bag of clues. It's a bag that will change everything. Soon Raphael and his friends Gardo and Rat are running for their lives. Wanted by the police, it takes all their quick-thinking to stay ahead. They uncover a dead man's mission to put right a terrible wrong. The three boys will do anything, even break the law, to get to the truth.
The first thing they do to get to the truth is they lie to the officers about finding the bag. On page #15 “What did you find?” said the boss “I didn’t find a bag sir” I said “What did you find?” “I found a…shoe.” He said he found a shoe so they could further investigate into it and they also didn’t want to get into trouble for having it. They hid the bag at rats because they think no one would look there.
The next thing the boys do to get to the truth is they had Olivia take Gardo to the prison because he -Gardo- said Gabriel was his grandfather. On page # 87 Gardo “We need you to go with me, sister. Please?” “Me?” They all nodded. “You want me to go and see your grandfather?” Olivia said. Gardo nodded “How?” Olivia said.

    The Black Dahlia Case

    • 1518 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Due to the accessibility of police radio stations at this time, reporters were often the first to arrive on crime scenes. This was no different in the case of The Black Dahlia. Reporters were the first on the scene, gathering any photos they could before police arrived. Investigators and reporters had a close relationship and the scene remained open to reporters once they arrived. Investigators and police would give reporters inside information for a story and in return reporters would give information to the public from police in hopes of solving crimes. There was very little confidentiality when it came to information about a specific case. Though civilians could not contaminate the scene, reporters being first on the scene and being allowed access to the scene could. They were walking all over trying to get the best pictures while possibly contaminating evidence (Hodel, 2003). Investigators should not have let the reporters into the secure crime scene area. They could have been destroying evidence and leaving evidence behind. They could have reported their findings to reporters while keeping them behind the “human barrier” they created with police officers. According to Hodel (2003) there were tire tracks and a bloody heel print at the crime scene that were never collected. The tire tracks can be seen in some of the available photos of the case. These are vital pieces of evidence that could have changed the outcome of this case entirely. Having a shoe print and tire track, they could have compared the vehicles and shoes of those on the suspect list to narrow…
