AN ANALYSIS OF THE DEFENSE OF MICHAEL CHAPEL IN HIS TRIAL FOR THE MURDER OF EMOGENE THOMPSON

By: Phil Sullivan

Disclaimer

It is not my purpose to imply, impute or to in any way suggest that any of the witnesses involved in this case, or for that matter anyone else, had anything to do with the murder of Emogene Thompson. In this analysis, I am only repeating or narrating what I saw and heard as a juror in a court of law as I remember it. If some of my analysis seems suggestive, my purpose was to suggest that the testimony of the witness would have been made more clear to the jury with additional evidence and cross-examination.
