In this country, our justice system continually strives to seek restitution and retribution for both the victim and the accused in its entirety. As a country, we have seen many tragic deaths and this one, in particular, struck the hearts of many. Tim Bosma a young, 32-year-old man was struck down on an early morning in May 2013. Bosma set out in hopes of selling his truck to two prospective buyers. Though, what he did not know was that he would never come home to his wife Sharlene and little girl. The two apparent buyers Dellen Millard and Mark Smitch are believed to have shot Bosma in his own truck and then hours later taken him Millard’s hangar where they essentially incinerated him using an animal incinerator located on Millard’s property. …show more content…

We uncover some of the evidence as we dig deeper into the mystery behind the murder of Tim Bosma. According to police evidence, the pair and Tim Bosma had no relations whatsoever. It was simply a spree kill. When the body was soon after found, it was hardly recognizable to police, though bits and pieces of the DNA, matched the blood stain in the truck that was said to be Tim Bosma’s. If we rewind to a few days before the murder, when an employee of Dellen Millard by the name of Javier Villada (25) was asked by Millard to swap vehicles for the week giving Millard the truck with more space. Javier Villada was an employee of Millardair, in the early years before the murder, the one truck in Millard’s fleet that could tow that amount of weight was the one that Javier possessed. The police also found photos of guns. These were located on both the pairs phones and personal computers. A gun expert by the name of Christiane Lys has testified to both the judge and jury that the shot was definitely in close range and the gun had to be a Walther PPK .380-calibre handgun. Her evidence matched the photo, police seized from Millard’s home of him holding the same gun. In the photograph it is not evident who is holding the gun, as the photo only shows the fingers of the man, but fingerprint experts with Hamilton police have found a 17% match to that of Millard’s, which gives them reasonable grounds

Tim Bosma Case Tim Bosma was a church going, fun, and caring a son to Mary and Hank Bosma, a husband to Sharlene Bosma, and a father to a five-year- old daughter (Adam Carter and Nil Koksal, 2016). On the evening of May 6, 2013, he was last seen with two men who went for a test drive in a vehicle that Tim was selling. Tim Bosma was shot and stuck into a livestock incinerator located on the accused, Dellen Millard’s, farm and the totality of the evidence provided proof that the remains found were of Tim Bosma (Cambridge Times, 2013). There were three parties to the crime, two accused and an accessory after the fact. Both accused are sentenced to a life of prison and the possibility of parole after 25 years (Paola Loriggio and Liam Casey, 2016).
Specific crime scene investigators, sometimes referred to as “ballistics experts” or “firearms examiners”, are forensic specialists. They are mainly responsible for collecting and analyzing, from a crime scene, the ballistic-related evidence, including both firearms and ammunition. These forensic specialists are called upon to determine everything ranging from trajectory, to probable distances and angles when examining firearms and ammunition. A “ballistics expert”, studies (depending on the evidence collected) shell casings, bullet fragments, clips, and firearms discovered on the crime scene. They determine this while in a laboratory setting, and can analyze the evidence to solve a crime.

In 1998, Timothy Lee Hurst was tried for first-degree murder and robbery. It was said that Hurst stabbed and slashed Cynthia Harrison at least sixty times, on top of extremely deep cuts penetrating down to her bones. While the murder was being committed, Hurst robbed the Popeye’s location it was being committed in, which happened to be the location where he worked. Hurst ended up being convicted of first-degree murder, but the case turned into a penalty phase trial to figure out which sentence would best suit Hurst’s crime. After the penalty phase, the jury came back with an eleven to one vote and suggested Hurst be put to a death sentence.
If it goes as scheduled, Texas will execute Jeff Wood next Wednesday for the 1996 murder of a gas station store clerk. The problem: It was a murder Wood did not commit. Wood is scheduled to be executed on August 24 for the murder of Kriss Keeran, a store clerk at a Texaco gas station. This is despite the fact Wood was in his car when Keeran was shot, and may have not known about the shooting until after it was too late.
The murder of William Desmond Taylor was said to occur around the time frame of around 7:50 to 7:55. Police have investigated and said that Sands was seen near the scene of the crime at around the time that it happened. There is proof that Sands was there on the day of the crime and with every other little thing he has done to Taylor, it almost seems blatantly obvious that Sands was the murder. One of the guns that Taylor owned was a German Luegar revolver. He did not bring this gun back from France but he did buy it in New York.

The BTK (Bind, Torture, and Kill) killer case played a huge role in the media and the media played a huge role in the investigation. The investigation began in the mid-1970s and spanned into thirty years. “The investigation was very challenging, but the police department in Wichita, Kansas, where the killings took place, were able to apprehend the killer by using a creative approach that used local media to maintain contact with the killer and release information about the case” (Williams) . The BTK killer first started killing in 1974 when he murdered the Otero family in their home and committed his last murder in 1991. “Thirty years after his first murders, the BTK killer resurfaced between 2004 and 2005 and caught the media’s attention,
On one hand, Dahmer had many clear mental issues from young with his violent sexual fantasies, his fascination with dead animals and his anti-social behavior; some of what made him a killer could have been linked to certain mental illness and nature. On the other hand, Dahmer had an unstable childhood with messy family politics, possible sexual abuse from a neighbor, his alcoholism, etc. There was clearly some influence from both sides, also arguments on whether his anti social behavior stemmed from emotional scarring after his hernia surgery or if it was always there and just happened to come out during this time. In my opinion, there is more evidence in the “nurture” triggering his “nature” that is what lead to him committing these
