Answer:
B. The Supremacy Clause.
Explanation:
The supremacy clause is present in Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution. As the very name of the clause states, it refers to the supremacy that US sanctioned law has. The supremacy clause states that any federal law and any treaty made by the US government has sovereign value anywhere on the planet. That is, the clause states that federal laws and treaties are supreme on earth and for this reason, federal laws should be considered a priority over state laws.
This is based on who is telling the truth. The defendant denys being in the city at the time of the murder, but then a local newspaper states that he heard gunshots from inside his apartment the day of the murder (which would be impossible if he wasn't in the city at the same of the murder). There could also be a chance that the newspaper could be lying mainly because the defendant objected that the evidence was correct. In this case, the judge should take this into consideration especially when a local newpaper article announced that the defendant heard gunshots after saying that he was never in the city. So I would say, the newspaper article could be evidence to prove that the defendant is responsible for the murder.
