Archie Murder Mystery

However they still had to somewhat prove that Dennis was guilty so that a mistrial wasn't ruled. The prosecution relied heavily on the snitches and "expert" witnesses provided by the OSBI. Cindy McIntosh was called to testify as over hearing Ron and Dennis confirming details about the crime scene. Debating where the body was positioned, which room Debbie was found it, etc. James Harjos was also a snitch who was solely focused on Dennis and how Dennis confused to Harjos along with guilty driven statements about "We didn't mean to hurt her". Hajos also reported that Dennis admitted to drinking with Ron the night of the murder/ rape, bring beer to Debbie's apartment, raping her and then proceeding to wipe down the apartment for fingerprints before returning home. I will state though that Harjos was ruled a unreliable witness because Dennis had signed statements from him about his own innocence. Finally the prosecution was left with the OSBI experts that testified that the hand print found was Debbie's meaning that its wasn't the real killers and the second OSBI expert claiming the hair samples were undoubtedly Fritz and Williamson's.

The detective genre is recognizable by the mystery that it represents or establishes. Every word of a fiction novel is chosen with a purpose, and that purpose on a detective novel is to create suspense.

At the close of trial proceedings, the judge informed the jury that they could find the eight accused to be guilty even if the crime was committed by someone who was not charged. He also said that it was not necessary for the state to know the identity of the bomber or to prove that the bomber had read any of the articles or poster of the charged anarchists.

He affirmed that both Boquete and the victim were Type O non-secretors (which means their blood classification cannot be recognized from organic liquids).
