    “If you commit the crime, you are guilty”(Rush Limbaugh). Even though not all crimes are reported to the police, crime rates have fallen since the early 1990’s. For example, the country of Honduras has the average highest murder rate at about 90 people per 100,000 people. The criminals that commit the crime are most likely going to lie to you. They may make up stories and pretend it was something else. Queenie Keithley is guilty because she left the country club 10 minutes early, she was in an argument with her husband, Joe, and the glass in Joe’s hand was not broken after he “fell” down the stairs.…

    No one knows if someone is a criminal or not unless someone actually does something that is breaking the law or is a crime. Since Sherlock Holmes let Ryder and Catharine go, if Ryder breaks another law, then I bet Sherlock Holmes will set them free just like he did the last time. Also, just because Ryder and Catharine did something little this time, does not mean that they will do something little again. Ryder and Catharine might do something out of this world big. But no one ever knows what is coming up into the…
