Activity 2

Your Claim: Arthur was murdered by his wife saying he slipped and fell on the stairs but the truth
is he was intentionally tripped by his wife.

Your Evidence: Arthur has one wound.

The glass was intact in his hand.

He was facing the staircase.

Your Justification: As a rule, when people fall they will have multiple injuries.

People who fall typically drop or let go of the objects they are holding and focus
on saving themselves.

People fall forward unless they are pushed.
