Prosecuting Argument
After thoroughly reviewing the case of State v. Stu Dents, it has
come to the attention of the prosecuting team that there are
different elements of criminal doing in this case. As with each
case that is presented to the court, it is the prosecutor’s job to
present the information and facts from the case. We intend to
bring to light the elements of crime, along with the facts that
have been established, specific laws for each charge, and
establish what state in which the law is most effective for
punishment.
The first element of crime in this case is murder. The
defendant did in fact tie up the victim and then stabbed the
victim thirteen times. Since the facts are not overly clear at this
time, there is a chance of possible kidnapping or Corpus Delicti.
This would be since the defendant was last seen at the victim’s
apartment and the body of the victim was found 5 miles away.
The third element in this case would be for possession of illegal
drugs. Drugs were in fact found at the defendant’s home and at
the house of the victim, of which he may have planted. Last but
not least it may be possible to pursue an added charge of pre-
meditated murder. With the information that was written by the
defendant in his journal, stating that since he met the victim, he
discussed the purchase of rope, rags, and a hunting knife.
These are the facts that we know of at this time and are the ones
that we intend to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
Mr. Stu Dents was charged with homicide, assault of a police
officer, kidnapping, burglary, and crimes related to drugs.
According to Texas law, sec. 20.03. Kidnapping as a person
commits to an offense intentionally or knowingly abducts
another person (Texas Constitution and Statutes). Mr. Dents is
being charged with Aggravated Kidnapping, which states under
Sec. 20.04. Part “A person commits an offense if the person
intentionally or knowingly abducts another person and uses or
exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the offense”
(Texas Constitution and Statutes). Mr. Dents possessed a knife
during the crime and the victim was stabbed. Aggravated
Kidnapping is a felony of the first degree. According to Texas
State law, sec. 19.01. A person commits criminal homicide if
he/she intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal
negligence causes the death of an individual (Texas
Constitution and Statutes). Part B of the same law states
criminal homicide is murder, capital murder, manslaughter, or
criminally negligent homicide. As the prosecution Mr. Dents
will be charged with capital murder, as per sec. 19.03. Part 2,
which states the person intentionally, commits the murder in the
course of committing or attempting to commit Kidnapping,
burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction
or retaliation, or terroristic threat (Texas Constitution and
Statutes). As for the assault on the police officer, Mr. Dents
will be charged with simple assault which is a third degree
offense. Mr. Dents will also be charged with first-degree
burglary in accordance with Texas penal code sec. 30.02 part D,
which states any party to the offense entered the habitation with
intent to commit a felony other than felony theft or committed
or attempted to commit a felony other than felony theft (Texas
Constitution and Statutes). For the remaining drug charges,
Dents will be charged engaging in organized criminal activity
under penal code 71.02 part 5. Mr. Dent was in possession of
ecstasy at the time of his arrest.

Part 2, which states the person intentionally, commits the murder in the course of committing or attempting to commit Kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or terroristic threat (Texas Constitution and Statutes). As for the assault on the police officer, Mr. Dents will be charged with simple assault which is a third degree offense. Mr. Dents will also be charged with first-degree burglary in accordance with Texas penal code sec. 30.02 part D, which states any party to the offense entered the habitation with intent to commit a felony other than felony theft or committed or attempted to commit a felony other than felony theft (Texas Constitution and Statutes). For the remaining drug charges, Dents will be charged engaging in organized criminal activity under penal code 71.02 part 5. Mr. Dent was in possession of ecstasy at the time of his arrest.
