To whom it may concern in the courts,

Over the past couple weeks, our law class has been researching and making verdicts on well known murder trails from the past. In many of these cases, we have found that the convicted person was wrongfully accused and sentenced. This is not a common occurrence but it has been known to happen. Along with other class members, our group has found some interesting and somewhat disturbing information on the case of Crystal Wiemer and her sentence. We believe she is innocent due to lack of evidence, location issues, and DNA evidence. We trust that you will do everything in your power to make sure justice is brought to her.

Crystal Wiemer has been found guilty of murdering Chris Haith. However, the amount of evidence shows that she did not do it. In a fair court trial, remember that the defendant needs to be proven without any doubt, guilty. This was certainly not done, due to the fact that only two pieces of evidence were even brought to discussion, both of which are weak arguments. The first piece of evidence had to do with a bite mark found on the victim. This bite mark was similar, not exact, to the that of the defendant. Therefore, there is a small possibility it is Wiemer's, but a large likelihood that it is not. The only other major evidence brought forth in the trial was that of two short testimonies by Thomas Beal and Stenger. These testimonies were short, and very easily could have obtained false or corrupted information. This lack of evidence alone should prove Crystal's innocence but more proof is also available.

Another major problem with this suggested timeline of the crime, is that Crystal Wiemer simply could not have been in two places at one time. She lives twelve miles away from the scene of the crime and was seen near her property throughout the entire night. It is alleged that Crystal was able to go over to Haith's home, murder him, and return before Haith's body was found. This proposed timeline is very inaccurate and highly impossible. Had Wiemer murdered Haith, there is no way she could have had time to return to her house before authorities arrived.

The third and final key point to proving Haith's innocence is by discussing the topic of DNA evidence. In Wiemer's case DNA hurt her cause, while it should have been proving her innocent. To be more specific, DNA was found on the body of Wiemer after that night but when tested, it was found to have belonged to her boyfriend, not the victim. In was brought up incorrectly in the courts that the DNA was victims. Another key point to be made from DNA evidence is that the sweatshirt and bandana found at the scene of the crime were not, nor ever belonged to Crystal Wiemer. DNA shows that Wiemer never came into contact with the clothing and that they were worn by someone else. This final piece of evidence should create a true picture of what happened that night and prove that Crystal Wiemer is innocent and should be set free.

In conclusion, Crystal Wiemer did not murder Haith, although the court system says that she did. There is overwhelming evidence to prove that she did not commit the felony in this letter alone, not to mention other things that could be found be a well educated lawyer. I thank you for your time in reading this letter and hope that you will give it and Crystal proper thought and action.

Sincerely,

Kyler, Brent, Logan, and Drew
