In Cold Blood Research Paper

Homicide/Firearms/Robbery

In Cold Blood/Red Handed The First 48 Hours video that I have chosen is “In Cold Blood” and “Red Handed.” Because I have chosen this video I decided to do my topic on homicide, firearms, and robbery. I will discuss each one of these. I then will tell how it played a role in the video. I then will explain how it all comes together to help solve the crime. So let’s get started. First is homicide. What does homicide mean? Homicide is the killing of a person (human being). Among homicides are murder and manslaughter, but not all homicides are a crime. A non-criminal homicide includes self-defense, a hunting accident or car wreck (can’t be reckless driving). Suicide is a homicide, but in most cases there is no one to

According to my school book (Crime Scene Investigation) there are two categories of firearms. These categories are handguns and long guns. Handguns are usually the gun of choice for a crime. These guns usually only take one hand to hold; thus making it the gun of choice for a crime. Pistols and revolvers are handguns. These handguns are easy to conceal due to them being small. Ammunition is pretty easy to get for a hand gun. The most common among long guns are shotguns and rifles. Machine guns and other weapons that take two hands and the use of a person’s shoulder are also classified under long guns. With handguns and long guns an important part are the bullets. There are many types of bullets. (The following is a list of different types of bullets: wade-cutter, semi-wad-cutter, full-metal jacket, semi-jacketed, soft-point, hollow-point, Teflon-coated, and frangible bullets and each has a particular use.) (Jacqueline T. Fish, 2014) Projectile, powder, primer, and cartridge or shell case are the main components for all types of cartridge ammunition. In the First 48 Hours “Red Handed” the detectives found shell casings from the bullets at the door where Mr. Montoya had been shot and also in the subject’s vehicle. Mr. Montoya’s son-in-law saw the vehicle take off and he got in his vehicle and took after the subject’s. The subjects were shooting at the son-in-law’s vehicle while he was chasing after them. The subject’s ended up crashing into a

What is robbery? (Robbery is the act or an instance of unlawfully taking the property of another by the use of violence or intimidation.) (Farlex, 2009) In the First 48 Hours video “In Cold Blood” I mention earlier that the police found Herbert Abraham dead, with his hands and his feet tied together and a tie around his neck. When the police started to look for clues as to what had happen, they saw that his wallet was empty and his stuff had been gone through. The detective started asking questions to the neighbors. One neighbor said that there was a white man that was maybe in his 30’s asking about Abraham’s apartment. The neighbor said the man looked harmless and he pointed him in the right direction. A different neighbor pointed out that Mr. Abraham’s car was missing, but a strange car had been there for a few days. When the detectives got the news about the car it was the break they needed. The car had also been stolen as well. So the detectives went back to that crime scene to talk to those victims. The detectives got their big break when a cop car found Mr. Abraham’s car along with the person committing a crime at the same time. The detectives went to interview their suspect, Roger Tucker. Before the detectives went to see Tucker, they stopped by Mr. Abraham’s neighbor to see if he could pick Tucker out of a photo lineup, and the neighbor did. To sum up this video Roger Tucker was subsequently convicted of aggravated murder and was sentenced to
