My first step for my research was to see who is involved. The issues I have chosen involve Victor who was the shooter and for biting a police officer. Victor’s mother for hiding him from the police when questioned if she knew where he was. The police are included for pushing the mother out of the way and entering her home to search and apprehend Victor and shell casings without a search warrant. Also Benny for throwing the gun used in the shooting over the bridge. The crimes happened in New Hampshire and they are criminal in nature. I searched for the legal terms attempted murder, attempted homicide, manslaughter, assault on a peace officer, assault, aiding and abetting, conspiracy, accessory after the fact, hindering, search and seizure,

On January 1, 2011, Mary Brown (victim) went jogging at 7:00 pm on the route she had been taking for six months and passing the usual houses. Upon reaching 123 Roper Street, a man, John Smith (defendant) ran out, tackled her to the ground, jumped on top of her, and eventually pinned her down. Then the defendant, using a box cutter, stabbed the victim in the face, making a five-inch gash just below her left eye. While cutting the victim, the defendant stated, “I watch you run by here every day and I wave hello to you from my window, but you never wave back. You think you are too pretty to wave at me, well now you will not be pretty anymore.” The defendant’s neighbor, Mike Jones, witnessed the attack and heard everything from his yard, but was too afraid to stop the attack. John Smith has been charged with aggravated malicious wounding.

They were claiming the evidence from witnesses is unclear. There were extreme discrepancies among witnesses regarding the number of people present on the front yard where the shots were fired. Defendant was only expressing his emotion and firing to empty an area that didn’t mean to hit anyone. Also, only one bullet was found which is one the victim body and no evidence shows that bullet was directly hit on the victim. It can be reflected. Base on those the jury could found it was manslaughter and the instruction of manslaughter first degree should be giving. Additionally, she was arguing about the gang evidence. Defendant was prejudiced by the introduction of generalized gang related evidence. Therefore, evidence from gain member should not be used as a consideration. For reasons stated above the court should vacate Defendant’s conviction of first degree murder and remand another new trial and new evidentiary

Shoot me.” Tyvonne then responded with, “I’ll show you it’s real.” He aimed and fired one shot at the victim which hit and injured her, he then began to swear and shout at the victim that he was

On September 14, 2015, I attended a public criminal case at the North County Vista Courthouse. This case dealt with the murder of Jason Harper, and was presented to Judge Blaine Bowman.

A woman by the name Michele Wanko was charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and possessing an instrument of crime. Michele shot and killed her husband. Michele and her husband William Wanko lived in Philadelphia. It was a night when these two decided to put the children to bed and have a few drinks. They both had been drinking that night, for exactly six hours straight. They were drinking vodka and juice all night long, now with drinking that long period of time, the couple had to have been drunk. Because someone constantly drinking for a long period of time, there is going to be some type of impact from the alcohol. William wanted to teach his wife how to shoot a gun, and they decided to go into the basement and begin shooting. When she retrieved the gun from their safe, she instantly aimed the gun at her husband and shot him in his chest. He looked at her and asked her why she shot him before collapsing on the ground. The police were called, and William was pronounced dead at the hospital and Michele was charged. Some may look at this case different and

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. For the past several weeks you have heard testimony from the defense stating that their client is innocent of murdering Mr. Wallace, a 24 year old man that was shot and killed in the early morning of March 9, 1997, as he was leaving a music industry party. He was riding in the front passenger seat of a Chevrolet Suburban when another vehicle pulled up beside his and someone opened fire. According to autopsy reports he was shot four times. The medical expert stated the bullet that killed Mr. Wallace was the bullet that entered his right hip and ripped through several organs, including his liver, heart and lung. The other bullets struck Wallace in his left forearm, his back and his left thigh. At the time of his death, he had no drugs or alcohol in his system. I have proven that the defendant murdered Mr. Wallace for no apparent reason. It is up to you to decide hold the defendant

On November 27th, 1976 Mr. Adams’ car ran out of fuel and he was forced to walk to the nearest gas station (Radelet, 2011). Shortly after this Mr. Adams was given a ride by local teenager David Ray Harris, who was driving a stolen vehicle. The two then spent the day together, even going to see a drive in movie. That night Mr. Adams returned to a motel where he was staying. Mr. Harris, now alone, was stopped by Officer Wood and his Partner Teresa Turko shortly after midnight. Officer Wood was shot and killed by Harris, who sped off too quickly for Officer Turko to get a plate number or a good look at the shooter. Directly after this Mr. Harris drove home and for the next few days, bragged to his friends that he offed a pig. Police questioned Harris upon learning of these statements. Harris however, feigned innocence, stating that he did not kill a cop and that he was just trying to impress his friends. Mr. Harris unfortunately pointed the finger at a hitchhiker that he had picked up, Mr. Adams. Police took Adams in for questioning, where he denied everything, but he did detail the events of the previous day. Mr. Adams was informed by the police that he had failed a lie detection test and that Harris had passed, but Adams still held that he was innocent. At this time the only actual evidence implicating Adams in the crime is the testimony that Harris gave to the police.

To begin, the accused is guilty because the crime was blatantly premeditated. Premeditation is defined as“The term that is used to describe a murder that was planned in advance and was carried out willfully.” (“What is Premeditated”)

Upon arrival, I made contact with Ms. Maria Gizanados (Involved Person) who advised in a sworn recorded statement her son, Mr. Antonio Gizanados (Victim), and daughter were staying at her parents’ house, when she received a phone call from her daughter. During phone conversation, Ms. Gizanados was advised her son was having a “bi-polar episode,” so she responded to the location. Upon arrival, she made contact with her son (Mr. Gizanados) and he stated he wished to kill himself with a knife. He had a knife present in his bedroom, but was not threating himself with it. Mr. Gizanados also made statements to her that he was planning to go to the The Avenues with a gun and shoot people as well as myself.
