Paperwork
The paperwork evidence is one of the main evidence, as it is the prejudicial evidence of the witness, who walked the cemetery and saw the act of vandalism of the tomb. The witness’s evidence is reliable, as he called the police, waited till their arrival and then told what he saw. The detailed description of the criminal is also reliable as it was 6:45 and the sunset on April 6, 2009 was on 7:15 – 7:20 pm, so the criminal was observed in a good way and the witness could have seen him. The witness’ ability to remember the face of the criminal gives the opportunity to create the picture of the criminal, what is crucial; as it is additional information, which is needed to make this a conclusive piece of evidence. The main points of the testimony are the appearance of the criminal, his cloths, and the actions, which he was provided (painting X’s on the tomb). The evidence also tells us about the time of the violence creation. The witness did not introduce any suggests; he just retold what he saw, without implying.
Photographs
The photo evidences, introduced in the case are important as they show the very issue of the crime provided. The pictures of the vandalism paintings on the tomb may not be contested as they were photographed after the very crime. The photos give the detailed description of the marks, which were painted on the tomb, their size and nature. The pictures were supported by the testimony of the witness, who saw the person, who created them. There could have been some confuse with the marks, as there are a lot of them, but as the pictures and investigation was made immediately, it was easily distinguished the old and the new marks, presented on the tomb. The vertical and horizontal lines with XXX’s were painted not so long before, and to prove it, some chemical investigation had to be provided with the aim to make this a conclusive piece of evidence, where the type of pain was identified. The lines allow making some suggestions that that the person was rather tall and managed to paint on the very top of the tomb.
Additional Evidence
The additional evidences, which are introduced in the case, are the evidences analysis, which give the information about the type of paint, the finger-print of the suspected criminal and James George Seizman biographical information. The biographical information of this very person is introduced not by chance, as after careful investigation all facts were directed against him, and the supposition was made that he is the criminal, who violence the tomb. The first additional evidence, which pointed to Seizman, was the witness’ description of the person he saw, which coincided with Seizman’s photo. The finger-prints, which were investigated, also coincided with Seizman’s. So, according to additional evidences, the supposition may be made that the person, who violated the tomb, is James George Seizman. The additional investigation should be provided, such as to interrogate the criminal and, according to his testimonies to create the whole picture of the crime an whether to confirm the suppositions or to reject them and look for another criminal, who could be related to the case. But still, the evidences are so strong, that James George Seizman should better confirm his guilt, that will reduce the time of punishment for him.
