Name Bunni Peterson-Haitwas ID #. 860180587 Course Number Formal Persuasive Outline March 03, 2014 SPECIFIC PURPOSE: I want my audience to feel that partial bite marks are not a reliable way to identify a suspect.

The police say your teeth are identical to the victim's bite and they plant evidence and now you are sent to prison to serve a life sentence. You know you are not guilty but because the dentist was wrong and swore before the court that the brand belonged to you. What would you do? How could you prove your innocence if they stopped looking for the criminal? All because you have a similar smile to another person.CREDIBILITY: I choose this topic because over the years I have heard of cases where someone was wrongly convicted and I think there should be an established standard for how evidence is collected evidence and that it should not be based only on an educated guess.
