Case story

Boys side

• went to a movie by 11.30pm

• The Knife fell down from his pocket somewhere, between 11.30pm to 3.10am

• returned home at 3.10 am of the next day, found his father dead

Jurors side• The boy stayed at home,

had another fight with his father

• Stabbed his father, wiped the knife clean for fingerprints and left the home by 12.10pm, came back to home by 3.10 am

• The boy Leaving home by 8 pm after getting several punches from his father

• Went to neighbourhood junk shop, bought a rare and single stock ‘switch knife’

• Met his friends by 8.45 pm and left the place by 9.45, where the friends saw the same Knife which looks similar to the knife that killed his father

• Reached home by10pm,

Evidences and Facts behind the story• Knives – similar

• Unable to say the movie name at the spot

• The boy grown up in a slum area, when he was 10, he was in children’s court for throwing a rock at a teacher, at 15, he stole a car and arrested for that, picked up twice for knife fighting, he is handy with the knife

• The stab wound was downwards

• Evidence 1 – The old man (Age-above 75) who stayed downstairs heard the voice “I’m gonna kill you” and a second later he heard the body hit the floor, he ran to door and watched the boy running away

• Evidence 2 – The lady (Age-45)who stayed on the opposite building says that while she was lying to bed watched the boy murdering his father through the window when the last two cars of a total six car train crossed and at one the lights went off, she screamed and made a call to the police

Guilty to Not GuiltyReasons for Choosing Not Guilty

• Chances are there that the Knife might fall through a hole in his pocket and the killer might use a similar knife (similar switch knives are available in the neighbourhood stores)

• Unable to say the movie name at the spot because of nervousness on watching his father dead

• Slums are not a breeding place for criminals always, here nothing to do with his past records

• It is not possible for the old man to reach the door in 10 secs, surely with his weird left leg(stoke) it will take at least 41secs

Guilty to Not Guilty (Continued…)

• The girl has the mark of wearing glasses, which means she might have vision problems so she only can see the blurred faces

• The boy is 5 feet 7 inches height and his father is 6 feet 2 inches and he is very handy with the knife and it is hard to stab his father downwards in his chest

• Above all these facts the old man’s statement and the lady’s statement doesn't match

• Because she watched the man getting killed through the last two cars, whereas the old man told that he heard the statement “I’m gonna kill you” clearly and one second later the sound of body hitting down the floor, which means the statement occurs in that 10 secs the train passed the window and thereby identifying the boys voice is not possible at all in that train sound
