by all accounts my friends is there seem to Rainsford is an innocent man it is rather bewildering to hear this kind gentleman and murder what evidence do you have the backups of claim that a man like mr. Rainsford could do such a thing the text states that an unbroken fall out front of snarled and ragged jungle French the store of the island and that the General's Mansion was set on a high turn on three sides of it down and let's greedy lips in the shadows he's also known as keep house in the courtyard and drinks from cannot carry a gun while swimming for the sea even if you did the water would most definitely have caused it somehow damage General Zaroff is incredibly calculating as we have seen through his so-called games and Rainsford in the jungle it seems unfathomable at Greensburg she winds up to and that's exactly right we can point we can paint a vivid picture of death by practically anything on that island and how exactly can Rainsford kill the man anyway the extra simple he didn't there's little that's address rings for Catskill and we are riding on a very small set of evidence to suggest that he did under the Sixth Amendment of the United States any man or woman on trial is innocent until proven guilty the defendant is not even close to the light Susan's argument is invalid we know this because he sleeps on their off bed afterwards which is exactly what Sarah said the winner of their duel would do with the other being sued for the house no matter what one person is going to die and even if Rainsford isn't actually physically murder their off he still tried to which makes him guilty of attempted murder which route for which he should be punished with a life in jail
