wEEK 8

Theodore Boone: The defensive people think that he is guilty. They have no proof. But they claim he is guilty. They think that Mr. Duffy planned this whole murder out. His wife was not injured at all so he must've choked her. The defense said that he had bout her life insurance saying that if she was killed, he would get 1 millione dollars, and he waited 2 years till the perfect day for the murder.
