How Did Sherlock Committed A Crime
Imagine you committed a crime but were let free even though it is breaking the law for a police officer to do that. Sherlock Homes a detective that is beyond their technology that they should have used science to find evidence to crimes. In one of his stories he solved the crime about a missing carbuncle (jewel) and after he found out who did it he let them go like it was nothing. In my opinion Sherlock made the wrong decision. He should not have let them go for stealing it is illegal what he did. In the first place, Sherlock Holmes caught the two thieves that stole the carbuncle, a carbuncle is just a different way to say jewel. Sherlock knows himself that he committed a crime he just did not want to admit it because it would be breaking the …show more content…
Sherlock had lacked of evidence with this theory but you cannot blame someone if you are not entirely sure you need more than just one thing to back up your theory. The Plumber had kids a wife and probably did not get payed a ton imagine if he went to jail what would happen to his family. In the third place, the two thieves can always commit another crime because the only person who could ever catch them was Sherlock. Since they already know that he exist they would have a plan for if he ever try to track the two thieves down again. Another thing is that if you got away with something you might try it again because the first time you did it it was successful. In Conclusion, I think all of these facts are enough evidence to prove my statement of Sherlock. So the three main reason why Sherlock Holmes did the wrong thing are. First of all, Sherlock let the thieves go after committing a crime. Seconded of all, He blamed the innocent plumber who had a family to look after. Third of all, Doing something and getting away with it could make you do it again since you got away with it. So I believe Sherlock Holmes did the wrong

    Sherlock Holmes is a name with an enigmatic connotation. It means magnifying glasses and a British accent to most people. However, to me, it means noticing the obvious. It means finding deep, lasting friendship, alongside solutions to seemingly impossible mysteries. Sherlock Holmes is a mystery in and of himself, and that’s what makes him alive. The same goes for me, for you, and for the rest of the universe. Holmes taught me that our mysteries are solvable, no matter how complex, and that was one of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever…

If Poirot was not a good detective, the Clarke could have gotten away. If Cust wasn’t so self-blaming, then maybe he would have caught on faster and realized who was the true murderer.

    Imagine stuffing a carbuncle down a striped goose and a few days later someone else takes the same goose with the same stripe on the back! Both a stole the goose and the jewel. Will the other person go to jail? Or will you get arrested and go to jail? Will the detective set them free? Yes! Sherlock Holmes sets both free! But for stealing a jewel and a goose? In my opinion, Sherlock Holmes positively made the wrong decision by letting Ryder and Catharine free. That means, Sherlock Holmes also broke the law! Sherlock should have never let them go, because no one never knows if Ryder and Catharine will commit another crime or not. If Ryder and Catharine do commit a crime again, then the siblings might do something ever bigger than before!…

    A Scandal In Bohemia

    • 2 Pages

    The famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is known for his keen observation skills and logical thinking that has outsmarted criminal masterminds. His ability to conclude a theory from reason and logic is impressive; however, “It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts" (Scandal, 3). For his cases, Holmes gathers up data and information in any way he can, one being the art of disguise. The use of disguises play a significant part in crime solving because they allow Holmes to conceal his identity so he can gather information and ultimately deceive society.…

    The case was about the unknown death of Helen Stoner’s twin sister, Julia Stoner. The case itself from the beginning was a pretty hard case. The information Helen Stoner provided was scarce and might have been weak points . In the beginning of the story, it is very difficult to determine the conclusion to the case. In the end, Sherlock Holmes decides to investigate further by visiting the house in which Julia Stoner died. Later on in the story we find out that a snake was the killer of Julia Stoner’s death and Dr. Roylott’s death as well ( the sister’s stepfather). We all know that a good mysterious book must also have a good detective. A good detective is observant, cautious, logical, aware of his\her surroundings , and thinks in the most unexpected ways. Sherlock Holmes presents all the given qualities, making him a good detective. In the many ways i think that the story “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” is a good mystery story, I don’t necessarily think that the clues are presented correctly. We know that a…

    for the good of humanity or just the good of one's loved ones every hero has a cause. Sherlock Holmes seems like an obvious hero but he doesn't really care about saving or protecting people. It seems the only thing Sherlock cares about is working and solving the cases because it is fun for him to have a challenge. But Sherlock does seem to have an internal struggle whether to fight for good or to prove his intelligence according to the author of (sherlock character confessions by Raven Simmons). “Sherlock seems to be divided by the urge to defeat Moriarty because he is a criminal and it would simply be the right thing to do r to defeat Moriarty simply to win a challenge made against his intelligence; basically, as a battle of wits”. So it seems that there may be some kind of good conscience inside of this man. Even though he is a kind of strange man that keeps to himself he does try to help others though it may seem he has selfish reasons for helping. I believe that he is a true hero when you hear someone talk about the great Sherlock Holmes you think of a mysterious british man with quick wits that fights crime for good. He is an iconic hero in british literature that everyone…

    Luella and Sherlock trust the culprits. They show trust by knowing that the thieves will not do wrong. In "Thank you Ma'am” Mrs. Luella shows trust in Roger when she lets him go and wash his face in the sink. "Then, roger, you go to that sink and wash your face," said the woman, whereupon she turned him loose—at last. Roger looked at the door—looked at the woman—looked at the door—and went to the sink." She let him have the choice of running out or going to the sink, but the boy decides to receive whatever Mrs. Luella has to give him. Additionally, Sherlock Holmes shows trust in James Ryder.

    Yes. Under the Constitution of the United States, a defendant in a criminal case has to be given the opportunity to present a complete defense. The defendant also has the right and opportunity to present evidence of innocence, and only the evidence of guilt of a third party. Excluding evidence and only hearing the prosecutions evidence in the case did not give the court the right to make a conclusion based on the evidence at hand. The evidence against the prosecution supported that the defendant was guilty but did not automatically exclude the evidence of the third party as weak. Holmes was entitled to introduce the evidence of Whites guilt. The exclusion of that evidence violated Holmes 's right to have the opportunity to present a complete defense.…
