Due to his injuries, Second Lieutenant Wilson was unable to attend court to give evidence. Upon learning of this, the jury informed the Coroner that based on the evidence that had been presented so far, they felt there would be no need for an adjournment to hear the Lieutenant’s evidence. Having retired briefly to consider the facts, they reconvened, returning a verdict of ‘Accidental Death.’
In his summing up of the evidence, the Coroner offered his sympathies to the relatives of the two airmen and all those associated with them and said that the jury could not have come to any other conclusion and that his thoughts were with Second Lieutenant Wilson.
The Funeral
The funerals of the two aviators took place at Aldershot Military Cemetery
In the non-fiction The Secret Lives of Sergeant John Wilson by Louis Simmie the main character, John Wilson, also known as Jack, was a pathological liar who used his lies to escape self embarrassment. He used these lies to be with another woman, and in the end to try to get away with the murder of his first wife, Polly. John's lies ended up changing his life, he would tell one lie then have to tell two more to cover it up. All of John's lies ended up hurting himself and the people around him; this is shown with him getting the death penealty and in him killing Polly.

The main argument the defense is planning to use is that the Marines standing trial were executing an order in which they didn't think would result in harm. In his opening statement to the jury of nine, Capt. Ross drives the facts of the case into the jury. This would seem normal because for the prosecution, this case is based heavily on facts. The facts are that one Marine is dead, and two other are standing trial for his death. The defense's rebuttal points out that the actions carried out by the Marines were orders by their commanding officer.
The evidentiary evidence in the second trial, on February 2, 2017, included the original evidence from the first trial, but also included a correction of the hallway measurement and the correct ruling of Heidy’s death from “homicide” to “undetermined”. The correct measurements of the hallway strengthened the plausibility of the defense’s suicide argument more likely, considering how far down the hallway Heidy Truman’s body was found after being shot. The prosecutors defended their argument using the recording of Conrad Truman’s 911 with Patten, where he was “yelling obscenities” and “screaming inaudibly”. Responding officers, Utah County Deputy Attorney Sam Pead and Officer Christian Elias were met with the same hostility and threats from Conrad Truman as he provided a statement that “verbally manipulate[d] the crime scene”. Conrad Truman’s defense, Ann Tailanfeferro, once again defended her client against this accusation by stating that her client was distressed after finding his wife’s dead body. During this trial, Leis, the state medical examiner admitted that initially the Heidy Truman’s death was ruled as undetermined, but after meeting with the police and prosecutors he changed the ruling of her death to homicide, even though forensic evidence cannot differentiate between homicide and suicide. After eight hours of deliberation Conrad Truman was acquitted when the jury delivered a not guilty

Objects that constitute fruits, instrumentalities, or evidence of the crime or are contraband may be introduced in evidence and exhibited to the jury if it is proven that such objects offered as evidence relate to the crime charged (Garland, 2015, p. 417).

In order to understand and come up with an opinion of the murder case of Charles Wilson and whether or not there was justice served. One must first understand the case, and once they’re completely informed can they make a decision if justice was served. Charles Wilson is a U.S. Deputy Marshal. He was murdered on Election Day. There were a few men that were suspects in the murder. They were Robert Benton, who was known as U.S. Deputy Marshal Charles Wilson’s rival in the election. Another was a friend of Robert Benton. However, they were both acquitted for the murder of U.S Deputy Marshal Charles Wilson. Now there has to be someone who is charged with the murder of a high ranking individual, it has to be soon that the law enforcement can close
It was alleged that Officer Northup did attend a meeting at the bar without direction from his supervisors or the Zone commander nor did he inform them of the results of the meeting. OPSA finds no violation of the Akron Police Department rules or regulations. Officer Northup did not receive nor did he seek compensation from the department from the meeting. He did identify himself as a police officer though and a good practice for him would be to communicate the issues with the extra job with the scheduler or his immediate supervisors at the very least but not doing that does not violate department policies.
After listening to the arguments presented by both parties, I ask you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, to reject the defense theories of the case as it has been established beyond doubt that Brother is the sole culprit responsible for Doodle’s death.

On Friday, April, 4, 2014, I observed the Vanderburgh County Superior Court to observe different family law cases. The cases I heard involved contempt of court for failing to pay child support, failure to appear for a court appointed drug test, birth certificate affidavit, request for contest hearing time, and an issue of paternity case. Magistrate Judge Sheila M. Corcoran was presiding over the family court hearings. When entering the courthouse, I was greeted by security and advised to remove any cell phones, and/or, any other items that would trigger a metal detector. After this, I proceeded straight to look for the family courtroom. After roaming around mindlessly for a couple minutes, I decided to ask the courthouse officer monitoring

On March 30th, 2016 I attended the court room of Judge Collin Long, the Pulaski Associate Circuit Judge of the 25th Judicial Circuit Court. I was there from 9 am to 11am and then again from 1pm to 3pm. During the day in the courtroom I found that court is much like the military, 99% of the time it is extremely mundane and 1% of the time it is eventful.
