Mr.Hyde in court.

It is clear that Mr.Edward Hyde is indeed the man who killed Sir Danvers Carew, and it is disgusting to think that anyone would take the life of another, but it is my duty to make sure Sir Danvers did not die in vain, and this never have to happen to anyone else's family.I understand  that some people say Mr.Hyde was not responsible, or in controll of his actions, which i strongly disagree with. it was his choice to kill Sir Danvers, and his alone. his actons and judgement were not impared by any means at all. even so, if he is insane he is a threat to society, and must be put in an asylum. if there is any way to prevent another innocent civilians death, then as members of the jury i would hope you all understand that this man needs to be put away for the rest of his life.
       i am sorry to say that Sir Danvers Carew is no longer with us, but there is nothing i can do to change that. i know all of you share my remorse for his loss, but if you release this man, and he kills again-well, you will have to answer to God on your judgement day, and tell him why you let this happen.

  1. This is a great beginning to your writing. I think you have a nicely worded beginning and ending to your arguments as a prosecutor, but there needs to be more in the middle. The closing statements typical highlight and recap the testimonies and evidence from the trial. Your body paragraphs in this writing should details the main reasons to prosecute Hyde. First consider the main evidence and witnesses and remind the jury of these details from the murder. Next, move on to discuss the ramifications of release this man back into society. Pose potential situations that are likely to happen upon his release which will spook them. You mentioned that many people have said Hyde was not in control of his actions. How can you prove otherwise? Think about details from the text that could help you prove his complete awareness and intent to harm people. Use the details from the text to your advantage in order to elaborate in your writing. I think your point of view is strong, you have certainly taken on the voice of a prosecutor. I can't wait to see how it all turns out for the final copy.
