Persuasive Argument
You see jury, this young, fine, lady witnessed a terrible crime. Trauma will haunt her daily because of this. Imagine, your life just started and its already ruined by a heinous crime. Mr. Hyde is a murderer, and for that my friends, he deserves to be punished. He let evil take over and murdered Sir Danvers Carew, one of our friends in the Pariament. Put yourself in this young lady's shoes, and help her, and other innocent people stay alive, by putting this insensitive man behind bars.

This is a good start as a brainstorm for your writing. However, your final copy should be more elaborated and organized into multiple paragraphs. You clearly understand the point of view that is appropriate for this writing assignment as a prosecutor speaking directly to the jury of Victorian citizens. Your middle paragraphs should serve to highlight/recap the reasons that were brought to light during the trial of Hyde. Of course, your intro and closing statement should be powerful and captivating so that it sticks in the minds of the jury members enough to convince them to side with you. Try to watch some courtroom TV dramas or view some clips on youtube to catch some of the legal language/phrases in order to make the word choice more authentic. Best of luck.
