Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client Mary Maloney is innocent. First of all, she was not home at the time Mr. Maloney was killed; she was at the grocery store with Sam the grocer. Sam testified that she was at his store getting potatoes and peas. He said that was impossible that she killed him. She also got a cheesecake especially for Mr. Maloney and she was cooking a lamb leg in the oven for dinner.

Also, she loved her husband very, very much, as justified by her hysterics when talking on the phone. She also knew her husband well and was not angry because he didn’t want to go out. She was pregnant with his child and had been for six months. No wife wants to become a widow!

On the other hand, the weapon that had to have been used to administer a blow that hard would have been very heavy. A pregnant woman would not have been able to pick up an item that heavy, or be able to swing it hard. Plus, there was no weapon found in the home of the Maloney’s that would have been able to smash the victims head.

Plus, the officers sent to investigate admitted to having drinks with Mrs. Maloney. This means that the evidence they collected against her is not valid. The things that they saw after they had whiskey cannot be used as acceptable evidence in a courtroom.

I hope you will believe my client as she is an innocent widow.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client, Mary Maloney is innocent. She was out while the murder happened. Sam Grocer, who was frequently visited by Mrs. Maloney, reported that she seemed very happy, acted very normal, and seemed to want to give him a great supper. When officers arrived at the scene, Mrs. Maloney was genuinely distraught. There were no murder weapons in or around the scene. The grounds and the house had no visible blunt weapons that had been used to kill Mr. Patrick Maloney. No hammers, metal vases, large spanners, or anything of the sort. No wrappers and packages or weapons in any of the trash bins either. No blunt weapons on the property, a solid alibi with Mrs. Maloney being with Sam Grocer buying dinner, and no clear motive, Mrs. Maloney is innocent and would not and could not have killed her husband and a very important part of our police force.
