Blog Assignment # 4: Persuasive Argument

Sir Danvers Carew, a Member of Parliament, was brutally murdered.  A young woman said she saw Mr. Hyde commit this heinous act.  There were no other witnesses.  In this writing assignment, Mr. Hyde is entitled to trial by a jury of London citizens.  You are to act either as the defense (for Mr. Hyde) or the prosecution (against Mr. Hyde).  Your asssignment is to write a closing argument to the jury.  (This is the lawyer's final summary of his/her case and the best efforts at persuading the jury to his/her side.)
