__Case Theory__ The case of The state of Oklahoma vs. Paula Thromblod we the prosecution are going to prove that Paula Thrombold killed her husband to recieve his insurance money. I represent the Prosecution. As an attorney for the state of Oklahoma i submit that the defendant Paula Thrombold is guilty fot the murder of her husband under the pretense of gaining his insurance money. The defendent is guilty because Paula never reported abuse, she had multiple opportunities to escape the situation that she claimed occured, and that she went straight for the gun; without trying anything else.

We will prove that the defendant Paula Thrombold is responsible for the death of her husband by having the following wittnesses on the stand to testify. Kelly Carter will testify that Paula admitted to killing her husband before ad after she was read her maranda rights; she also lead kelly to the dead body of her husband, also the story that Paula told kelly does not match or make sense with any of the evidence. She will also propose the highly intoxicated blood level of Mr. Wright at the time and the possisility of Paula's escape, but she chose to hide and wait instead. Our second wittness will be Taylor Harris; he heard the gunshots as he walked into their garage to go meet Gavin. Gavin had told him about Paula reviewing the insurance policies and moving the gun around. our third wittnes to the stand will be Peyton Green; he knew the couple for a long period of time he was informed by Mr. wright that his gun had been moved in the home multiple times without his knoledge. He was also aware that Paula had been looking through their life insurance lately. He also claims that even when he asked Paula straight out that she denied all and any types of abuse. Battered woman's syndrome is not scientificaly proven and there is no way to officially determine it.

Paula Thrombold is guilty and did not kill her husband out of self defense. She had thought about this beforehand, had reviewed insurance policies, and moved the gun around. She also had a signifigant time in which she could have left the situation, but she did not. With plenty of time to flee. Self defense? or pre-meditated?
