 In your own words, answer the following.

Taking one of the cases mentioned, one other potential piece of evidence you might have expected to find and how you would evaluate that evidence to support or refute an alibi.

1.Ross Compton arson case:  (Middletown Ohio)

He claimed that he was asleep, but woke to fire in his house.

He said he packed a suitcase and grabbed some things as flames threatened

He used his cane to break a window, escaping with the belongings.

Physical evidence indicated possible arson

The fire started in multiple places

Compton’s clothing and shoes smelled like gasoline

Police obtained a search warrant for his pacemaker data.

Cardiologist testified that pacemaker data did not support the stress that would be expected if Compton’s story were true.
