It was another typical Thursday night in the office - Rudy was looking over his notes from the investigation, while I was re-checking my personal notes to see if there were any differences. The force’s own detectives are pretty lousy, so it’s only natural that we were on the case. Besides, if it wasn’t for the new sergeant that fired us both a year ago because of “longstanding reasons”, all of this wouldn’t even be happening. Rudy has gotten over it for the most part, but I still hold a grudge to this very day. “Stacy, I need a drink!” Rudy yelled out from his desk. “Yeah, yeah, I got ya covered.” I replied. I set down my notes on the table, and grabbed the half-empty bottle of whiskey which I stored in the kitchen. I noticed two shot glasses on his desk - guess he really wanted to take a break. We’ve been going at it for hours, so why not? I can’t tell the last time I saw Rudy this enthused in a case - there were stacks of folders on the table behind him, various photos of the victims pinned up on the board with names, descriptions, and other notable info, and perhaps the most glaring feature of his office - the desk he was leaning on was buried in mountains of paperwork, evidence, and cigarette butts. Yeah, he’s been hard at work. “I’m surprised that you actually found some time to take a break, Rudy.” I said, pouring the drinks. “Well, it was only eventual.” he said, pushing the dossiers aside. He took a shot as soon as I finished pouring. He flinched a bit, but
Investigator Sam Reilly will also be called to testify, in that he was the first investigator on the scene. Shortly after the murder, Officer Reilly went to the defendant’s home at 2435 Damen Street, apt #2B and forced down Mr. John Hudsons’ and Dale Buckner’s door. While at the apartment, Officer Reilly Recovered a .38 revolver (matching the gun from the crime scene), a black leather jacket, and a newly registered Black Cadillac Sedan; which matched the description of the getaway car. Due to officer Reilly’s work, pertinent details of the defendant’s background and belongings have been brought to trial and will help us prove that the defendants did, beyond a reasonable doubt murder, and assist in murdering Mrs. Sara Lazar. Upon arrest, the defendant’s both refused to make a statement concerning the killing of Mrs. Lazar.
“Well, good- that’ll be less work for the both of us,” she grinned. Her heart was still beating fast, but at least it wasn’t pounding in her ears any longer.
The book I read was The Watsons go to Birmingham in this novel there were many characters and lots of problems for the family.For my opinion I think the most interesting character was Kenny a ten-year-old.The most interesting thing I know about Kenny is that he was intelligent,active,and caring.My favorite character is Kenny also because he told the most of the story and he was a really important and funny character.If I could tell Kenny some advice ill tell him to think about his actions and how it could affect him if things go wrong.For example when he went to see if the whirlpool was true and it was so he almost died so he should be more safe next time and not to wonder of in places he dosen’t know well enough.
Ryan Nelson is a criminal lawyer in Massachusetts. He is torn between defending Anthony Cullen, a popular, intelligent and involved senior at Harvard University, for drugging and sexual assaulting Lina Davis. Lina claims Anthony tried forcing himself on her and her last recollection of the night was him offering to walk her home because she started feeling dizzy. Anthony claims he offered to walk her home, but didn’t. Anthony claims to Ryan that he is innocent and there is no direct evidence or witnesses to connect Anthony to the crime. Ryan has a gut feeling that Anthony is lying and that his story does not match up. Ryan feels that he is in a difficult situation and doesn’t know whether to defend Anthony or to turn down his case.
“Whatever.” She dismissed me. “Just hurry up with whatever you’re working on so we can party!”
Supporting great stories are characters that represent all that is good and egregious in real life. Joseph Conrad illustrates the character of Mr. Kurtz, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduces the character of Sherlock Holmes; both authors creating significant stories in which Mr. Kurtz and Sherlock Holmes grow to become complex characters. As the story progresses, these characters change in ways that bring their personalities to light, allowing one to really understand who they are and what they are made of.
“Well, it was. You’ll understand once I will tell you the reason why you are here at the moment, my dear.” he quickly said, as if that was the answer he was waiting for.
Slim twitched my elbow. "Come on, George. Me an' you'll go in and get a drink."
“Yeah, I noticed,” Arthur grumbled before taking a welcome sip of his drink. “Thanks for the coffee, though.”
“I’ll just have a water please.” He said and saw the look of surprise flash through her eyes before she nodded and headed off toward the bar. He had to admit he liked that look. Nobody ever expected a man from the music business to be a non-drinker.
“What are you doing here,” I asked softly. As she proceeded to answer, Brandy cuts around the corner and said,
“I'm getting help from Alfonso, he wants to help me with chemistry” I said, smiling, trying to keep my cool.
“Well this is what I usually do at lunch…because I don’t really have any friends.” Esmeralda said
“It is July 14, three weeks since my indictment for murdering Carolyn Polhemus” (154). The change in the characters standing in the investigation has changed, Rusty has gone abruptly from head of the murder investigation to murder. All of the evidence that was found on Carolyn and in her apartment, which at first when it was found lead him nowhere now points to Rusty. For example, “The heart of the case is the physical evidence: the glass with two of my fingerprints, identified from the knowns I gave a dozen years ago when I became a deputy P.A.; the telephone MUD records showing a call from my house to Carolyn’s about an hour and a half before her murder; the vaginal smear, revealing the presence within Carolyn’s genitalia of spermatozoa of my blood type… and finally, the malt-colored Zorak V fibers found on Carolyn’s clothing, and her corpse, and strewn about the living area, which match samples taken from the carpeting in my home” (158). To add on, in the trial the major evidence that connects Rusty to murdering Carolyn is the glass is lost in the police evidence center somewhere. “Tommy tells me he forgot about it at first. He really did. Now they’re looking high and low. It’ll turn up. But I have a problem” (246). Raymond testifies against Rusty in the trial saying that Rusty was dodging and hiding evidence instead of reporting it to him to
It can reasonably be inferred that Sherlock Holmes would agree that emotions are useful to observe, but having emotions clouds judgment. In the beginning, the narrator talks about how Sherlock is “...the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has ever seen...”. In order to be that he depends on his lack of emotion and the ability to read other people’s emotions.
