Two more boys, LeAlan and Lloyd, decided to investigate the crime and interviewed Kay Hanlon, a prosecutor. Hanlon stated, “I really believe in responsibility for your actions…even though you’re 10 or 11, you know right from wrong. You know that when you

A case like this overwhelms many individuals when involving kids. It is one thing when a kid disappears and is later discovered some place dead, yet this Ramsey case was puzzling

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, on an island, without adult supervision, a little boy was murdered. But this case isn’t about that little boy, this case is about a little boy who is still alive and breathing. The prosecution is here to tell you that this 12 year old boy belongs in prison, possibly for up to 10 years, robbing him of his remaining childhood. Ralph has been accused of voluntary manslaughter. He has been accused of, in a fit of passion and fear, speeding Simon’s departure from this world. But if we examine the facts, we know he did not play an active role in the other young man’s death. It has been verified by multiple witnesses, including the now deceased Piggy that Ralph was outside the killing circle. He saw the act but he didn’t

Out of all homicide cases in the US, about one third of them end up unsolved. The unfortunate murder of 'The Boy In The Box' is no exception. The spine chilling case of 'The Boy In The Box' is about the devastating death of a little boy found in Philidelphia and no one knows who or what killed him. The mysterious death left many investigators baffled about who the boy was and how he died. Many people from different places developed their own theories to conclude his death, but like any other theories, there's always something that disproves them.

“When you say parents faked their children’s death, people get very angry,” Kelly replies vaguely.

As examining the boy closely, an abundance of evidence was gathered. Stated in the article, “The boy was described as having blue eyes, fair complexion and medium to light brown crudely cut hair. His nails were noted as being neatly trimmed. He had deep bruises covering much of his body and face and experts speculate that due to the cold weather, the child may have been lying in that box between 2-3 days to 2 to 3 weeks”(“The Boy in the Box”). After realizing

PER REPORTER: Duane stated that he is concerned about his son’s well being while being the in Angela’s care. He admitted that both he and Angela are on drugs, but he stated that he has never done drugs around his son. He also stated that he is in the process of trying to get his self cleaned up so he can be a better father. He stated that every time he gets his son, he has a different scratch, scar, or bruise on him. He stated that Angela once admitted to him that she was not watching the child while he was in his high chair, and he fell out and almost broke his neck. Duane stated that when he son came to his house after the incident he was complaining about his head hurting. It is unknown if the child received medical attention due to falling.

Finally, it is very hard to be certain about something, but very easy to have doubt on any matter. This is especially true when dealing with somebody’s life. In the story right from the very beginning all of the jurors were certain this 16-year-old kid had committed

Reporter stated the following: The alleged perpetrator is another child (Holton). Holton was not in a caretaker role.

Throughout the film, the testimonies of the witnesses are considered to be facts by most of the jury despite the fact that the most concrete evidence the witnesses gave were based on their perception of the event. This raises the Theory of Knowledge questions of ‘whether we can trust our sense perception?’ and ‘is sense perception of a witness evidence enough to incriminate a person?’ In the film it is discovered that the testimonies have many ambiguities and that the witnesses may have based their testimonies on what they perceived. For example the old man assumes that the boy did murder his father because of his perception on the loud argument between them earlier that night. His expectations make sense of everything by concluding “because the father and son were fighting, it was most likely the son that did murder his father”. His interpretation of what occurred was given at the trial as a fact. Similarly as the women was unable to see properly without her glasses it is unlikely that she would have been able to witness the boy killing his father. However she was able to see the father being killed and perceived, based on the fact that the boy was arrested for murder, that he did commit the

It was on Friday morning on her way to school. Her dad was driving and her sister was sitting in the passenger seat. She was sitting in the backseat, driver side of the beige minivan. As they were crossing over a bus lane, with the right of way, a car was going full speed from the bus lane and didn’t even break and hit exactly where Kaely had been taking a nap before school. The driver was found to be intoxicated and he was driving home so he could go pick up his baby to take her to daycare. Kaely’s body was ejected from the car and into the street. They rushed her to the hospital but soon after had passed away.

The deceased children were siblings who were 3 and 5 years old, according to CNN affiliate KSBW.

“When she came in yesterday, yelling and slapping her grandson around, I felt sorry for the boy when she thought he knocked over the tissue boxes, even though, he kept saying he never touched them. I was angry at her now our life will be easier,” Andrew said, Gail and Sylvia stared at him

One piece of evidence that proves the boy’s innocence is the height of the father. This takes an effect on the evidence against the boy because he is 6 inches shorter than his father was. So it would have been harder for the boy to stab the dad it would of taking

“ Well we were trying to go to the hospital to go see if our daughter was alive but why would you not stay for the interrogation?”
