Defense\Prosecution - Dominick Scialabba
As you can see ladies and gentleman of the jury sitting in front of you is a man convected for murder. This man is one of the most viable and putrid people i have ever met and for us to just let him go is preposterous. He is diagnosed with a disease that makes him like a monster. He has no control over himself as was displayed in the murder of Sir Danvers Carew! People of the jury hear me out and do the right thing, put this Monster to jail!

I can see that you have a good grasp on the point of view that is appropriate for this writing task! I think you might consider spending a little more time expanding your introduction of the case and reel the jury in emotionally by explaining their duty as jury members or what the court system's true purpose is. Then move in to your summary of the main reasons for prosecuting Hyde. Your first reason seems to be Hyde's character. Spend a paragraph on this summing up the evidence of his putrid character. Remind the jury of the character witnessed and specific evidence that was presented during the trial that truly sums up his character. Next, you might move on to a paragraph that is dedicated to the blowing up the defense's claim of insanity as a reason to release Hyde. You could present all of the facts that prove insanity is a front. Prove that he has full knowledge or right and wrong and is aware of his actions and consequences. Finally, try to consider a reason that is focused on Society's values. This will add the final twist and be your most powerful reason. Of course, you need to conclude in a captivating manner. Be careful to use some of the legal language correctly. For example you stated, As you can see ladies and gentleman of the jury sitting in front of you is a man convected for murder." Hyde is on trial for the alleged murder of Sir Danvers Carew, but he is not convicted until the jury has made their decision. Watch some more of the youtube clips for some extra help incorporating common legal phrases and jargon. Best of luck!
