Dorothy Simmons Murder

In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800's to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman's place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an early age and introduced to sexual perversions that were more

So naturally Michaelis tried to find out what had happened, but Wilson wouldn’t say a word — instead he began to throw suspicious look at his visitor and ask himself what he’d been doing at certain times on certain days of the week. Just as the latter was getting restless, some workers came past heading to the door for his restaurant, and Michaelis approach the chance to get away, intending to return later. But he never did. He supposed he forgot to, that’s all. When he gets outside again, a little later after seven o’clock, he was remembered of the conversation because he heard Mrs. Wilson’s voice, loud and clear coming down-stairs in the garage.

The case that I will be discussing is the cold murder case of Lucille Johnson from Salt Lake City, Utah. Unfortunately, at the time of the murder the investigators didn’t take certain evidence serious in the case. The investigators thought that it was just evidence that had no meaning. None the less, it ended up convicting the murderer, John Sansing.

	Furthermore, the prosecution never proved the weapon was an axe. When Officer Mullaly asked if there were hatchets in the house, Lizzie replied with, "Yes, they are everywhere." Bridget and Mullaly went down to the basement and found four hatchets: one rusty claw-headed hatchet, two that

On January 16, 1991, respondent litigant, Jose Trinidad Loza, shot four individuals from the group of his better half, Dorothy Jackson. The casualties were shot in the head at short proximity while they dozed in their home in Middletown, Ohio. Loza shot Jackson's mom, Georgia Davis; her brother, Gary Mullins; and her two sisters, Cheryl (Mullins) Senteno and Jerri Luanna Jackson. Mullins passed on very quickly from his injury; Davis and Senteno survived a few hours before kicking the bucket. Jerri Jackson, six months pregnant at the season of the shooting, kicked the bucket on January 31, 1991.

Between 7:15 and 7:30 last night a person, by the name of Paul Dudden, in this residence, took his last breath behind the screen in the library as he was being brutally murdered. One thing’s for sure the murderer knew what they wanted. They wanted Paul Dudden gone. When Paul Dudden took his last look at this cruel world, the murderer looked down and smiled at their accomplishment. Unfortunately for the murderer, it is clear who this malevolent person is. He was no other that Mr. Parsons himself. After interviewing Mrs. Parsons, one of the Ellis’ car went into the driveway drove by the one and only Amy Ellis at 8:00. Now here’s the thing, why didn’t Mr. Parson see the car as well? As the car drove in, Mr. Parsons wasn’t in his house at all.

The Famous Murder Trial’s Killer Discovered Lizzie Borden’s trial was one of the mysterious and famous murder trials in 1900’s. This murder trial took place in the Borden’s house on the 4th of August, 1892 in the city called Fall River, Massachusetts. The Borden’s house incorporated Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby, his two daughters, Lizzie and Emma, and a housemaid Bridget Sullivan. However, the main suspect was revealed to be Lizzie Borden in the trial; therefore, she was arrested for her father’s and stepmother’s murder. A look at the evidence of the murder case proves that Lizzie Borden was guilty of her father and stepmother's murder.

Fifth Estate’s 40th episode, “the interrogation room”, essentially analyzes an open murder case that occurred on November the third of 2006; the murder case revolves the shooting and eventual death of a male attending named Mervyn “Mikey” Spence, at a birthday party. The case was investigated over the course of four years in which the Peel Police had made arrests, but through the use of controversial interrogation methods, were redirected to charge and imprison an innocent male named, Eric “Action” Morgan. To further justify his innocence, Morgan reveals his guests to the investigators at his party who were at the time of the shooting, ultimately be his alibi(s). However, after the witnesses being held for several hours, threatened and reprimanded, they recanted their statements and later stated that s/ he

Based on Sui-Tas testimony we are told that he took the axe. However when the investigation had started and they went to search for the missing items everything was there except the axe. The axe was not recovered on the first searching of Tom’s house, yet when they were told to go look for more evidence they found the axe in with no problems. This is odd, how when you first searched the house not find a very particular axe in a small house, yet when you go back there the second time you find it? This has me wonder if someone within the investigation had planted the axe to frame Tom. Furthermore, looking at the testimonies of multiple people no one was able to clearly identify the axe. Many people had thought that they had seen William with it before but there were too many different stories of the axe to be sure the one that was found in Tom’s house was the one that was stolen. Therefore the axe in terms of opposing interpretations should not have been used as evidence against Tom. Another point that was added by William Smithe who was observing the trial also makes a convincing case that the axe shown in court was not the same as the one everyone was talking about. William Smithe had written in to the British Colonist expaingin why the axe was not Tom’s. He explained his case as shown “For instance, the murdered man was proved to have been a left handed person; his knife, with which he was eating his food when he was shot, was in his left hand, and an axe was shown in Court, and a certain spring in the handle pointed out to the jury as indicating the axe to have been used by a left handed man. Now, it is well known to choppers and men accustomed to see an axe used, that a left-handed person will almost invariably swing his axe from the right side; and an axe that had been swung from the right side would have had a spring the reverse of that

John Tyler, age 28, was shot and killed with a handgun, fired by Jeff “Ace” Johnson, on July 16th. The shooting occurred after an argument between Jeff (age 20 and a member of the Cobras street gang) and Jerry Knight (age 22, member of the Jukers street gang and cousin of the deceased). The accused may be convicted of either murder (the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought) or voluntary manslaughter (the unlawful killing of a human being without malice). After reviewing all the facts of the case, I have come to the conclusion that Jeff “Ace” Johnson is guilty of voluntary manslaughter.

As I drove downtown to visit Carol and Lee, I looked for a back way back in which would mean that I wouldn’t be seen. I wandered around for a while, eventually finding their house situated a few hundred yards from a McDonald on Bragg Boulevard and saw an alleyway behind the restaurant. I went to McDonald, where I waited a while before exiting into the back alley to see if I was followed. When I was convinced that it was all clear, I leaped over the fence into Carol’s backyard and up to the door.

After calling the police, I dug up the rest of the bones and made sure I got all of them. When I was done finding all of the bones, I looked around the crime scene to see if there were any clues as to what happened to the victim. I found a rusty knife under a pile of leafs. I told the police that there was a rusty knife in a pile of leafs and that it could be the cause of death.

No immediate suspects were apparent and a tip line with a $8,000.00 reward was initiated. The murder weapon would later be recovered and turned over to authorities by a citizen that had picked it up from the side of the road; a folding lock blade knife with the appearance of blood on the blade.

The street was eerily quiet as I crossed. So was Mike. Staring at me unwaveringly, he said nothing as I approached. The crow's feet framing his eyes, the ridges in his forehead, and the crinkles in his cheeks still stand out in my mind. How many nights had he lain on that bench, covering his face as the wind whipped against it? Now he hugged his body tightly. He was wearing an old pair of tan khakis, a shirt that I couldn't see clearly, and a light multi-colored jacket, its sleeves ending above his pale wrists, that was just slightly too small and clung to his body. As I gave him the money in my wallet, he took it--slowly--and stared at it for a second in disbelief. Although the street in front of the library is usually an amalgam of car horns, headlights, whining engines throughout the night, nothing--not
