Winston Peacock Murder Case
The death of Winston Peacock was in fact a murder, not a suicide. On January 2nd Mr. Peacock was found lying dead on the floor near his desk by the local delivery girl, Jenny Goodheart. Jenny reported her findings to the village police station but the department had apparently dropped the ball on the case. However, from further investigation into the case, Winston Peacock was in fact murdered as his reputed fortune was a motive to kill, was in the middle of household chore and had a full agenda of chores he needed to accomplish and his body wounds and placement shows how he was shot from a distance and set up to look as if he committed suicide.

    In this case, William Furman committed a robbery of a private home. The resident of the home awoke to find Furman in his house. Furman tried to escape and while doing so, he tripped and fired his gun accidently, which killed the victim. He was taken to trial and found guilty of murder. Because the shooting occurred during the commission of a felony, Furman was eligible for the death penalty according to the felony murder rule. The rule of felony murder states that if an offender kills, with or without intention, during a dangerous crime, they are guilty of murder. Furman was sentenced to death but the case was taken to the Supreme Court before his punishment was carried out. The issue of the case was whether the death penalty should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. If it was considered cruel and unusual punishment, then it would also be in violation of the 8th and 14th Amendments.…

There has been much controversy over the cause of Poe’s death. Many scholars and experts have researched the topic of Poe’s death, and it boiled down to two main points. Either he died from alcohol poisoning- or from rabies. But there are more pieces of evidence to prove one of these points. It is evident that Edgar Allen Poe died from alcohol poisoning. Edgar Allen Poe died from excessive alcohol poisoning because there is not very many verified pieces of evidence that prove he died from rabies, because he was a known alcoholic, and because he showed many of the distinctive signs of alcohol poisoning.…
