Summary: The Ransom Of Red Chief
The court case was about The Ransom Of Red Chief. The teams defended the witnesses such as Red Chief, Sam, Bill. The prosecuting team believed that Bill didn’t get kidnapped by those two kidnappers. The defense team believed that Bill was mentally challenged and Red Chief did harm his kids and abuse the cat. The prosecuting team said that Red Chief was hounded down by those two kidnappers and lured in by some candy that they had hidden. They conjointly believed that they put her in a bag and yielded her into a little shed. The prosecuting team won the case by way of evidence. I believe that the defense team should have won by way of evidence from the trial.

    It is understandable that when one is involved in a case that can lead to time in jail, when it is the appellants turn to talk, the appellant might say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It is known that at one point the appellant had said, he had never driven the green Cadillac that belongs to cristabel pierce. However, on page three paragraph nine evidence shows that the appellant was seen driving the green Cadillac. This shows that the appellants purpose of lying was truly to not seem guilty, and to not be incriminated by his actions. The green Cadillac that the appellant was seen driving that day belonged to Cristabel pierce, the mother of his kids. It is not a coincidence that all of the stolen property was found in cristabels house, where the green Cadillac was parked, Hernandez, who lived across the street also testified on page sixteen paragraph thirteen, that he had asked the appellant what he was doing and he replied by saying he was helping Bernadette move her things, that she knew he was there. Which is not true. Therefore, all of those incidents that prove the appellant is not speaking the truth, make him not only loose credibility but makes him seem more guilty.…

    The prosecution’s evidence was a mere form of judgment and based on eyewitnesses, in which there was a lack of credible evidence that was positively proved in this case. The prosecution’s claim that there were seven witnesses all near Braintree around the time of the crime who claimed that Sacco looked identical to one of the bandits. The prosecution also claimed that a cap with a hole in it was picked up at the crime scene was similar if not identical to one that Sacco previously owned. The hole might have related to Sacco’s workplace where he religiously hung his cap. One of the seven witnesses, Kelley, claimed the cap was the same brand and color related to Sacco.

    Some of the key arguments that were presented by the plaintiffs were to show that Simpson wore very expensive shoes and they supplied 39 photos of those same shoes which matched footprints from the murder scene. They also made O.J. Simpson take the stand which he didn’t in the criminal case. The attorneys for the plaintiff’s also noted that Simpson admitted to being very upset with Nicole about the way she was flirting with other men around his children. Some of the key arguments that were presented by the defense are that it raised doubts about the 39 photographs of Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes eight months before the slayings. The defense said a person "can fake a photograph" if that person has enough motive. The main key argument addressed was emphasized that some of Simpson 's evidence sample could have been planted on a gate at Nicole Brown Simpson 's condominium and on samples in the police crime lab. He said Ms. Simpson 's blood, taken at autopsy, could have been…

    The Ransom of Red Chief is a short story about two criminal kidnappers in need of money. They took it upon themselves to kidnap a wealthy man child. The reason behind that was because they were going to use his son for bait for an exchange of two hundred dollars. The men took him to a cave and held him captive, but the son did not look at it that way. He thought the kidnappers were playing games with him. The little boy scared one of the men and continued to do so, but yet he only took it as a game. The other man soon discovered why he was terrified but did not care or take notice in it until the little boy did him the same way. The first kidnapper wanted to return the kid for less money, but things didn't end that way. They both wanted the…

    The Casey Anthony case shows us how circumstantial is not enough to determine someone’s guilt. In the Casey Anthony case, each side used circumstantial evidence to prove that their story was accurate, and it gave them more room to use evidence as justification to their story. Not having any direct evidence did not give any facts for the judge and the jury to lean on. Not only is it important to have good quality and quantity of evidence (burden of production), but also it is important to use it persuasively (burden of persuasion). The burden of production cannot stand on itself to prove someone’s guilt, but neither can only being persuasive.…

    (B) At the trial, no search warrant was produced by the prosecution, nor was the failure to produce one explained or accounted for. At best, "There is, in the record, considerable doubt as to whether there ever was any warrant for the search of defendant's home." 170 Ohio St. at 430, 166 N.E.2d at 389. The Ohio Supreme Court believed a "reasonable argument" could be made that the conviction should be reversed "because the methods' employed to obtain the [evidence] . . . where such as to `offend "a sense of justice,"'" but the court found determinative the fact that the evidence had not been taken "from defendant's person by the use of brutal or offensive physical force against defendant." 170 Ohio St. at 431, 166…
