Mr. Hyde is being prosecuted for alleged murder of Sir Danvers Carew a member of Parliment. There is many sources for proof, let us begin with the maid who witnessed the murder. According to this source Mr. Hype clubbed(hit over the head many times.) Sir Danvers Carew mnay times until he was out and the other half of the stick Mr. Hyde used to murder Sir Danvers Carew was found behind Mr. Hydes door. These are some other reason why Mr. Hyde should be prosecuted:

This is a great brainstorm for this writing. I like that you were considered the evidence that would convict Mr. Hyde. Remember to take on the point of view of the prosecutor speaking directly to the audience (jury of Victorian Citizens). You should include a captivating opening and closing that is likely to make an impact on the jury. The middle part of the writing/speech should highlight and recap the main reasons for prosecuting that were detailed throughout the trial. These can include evidence and witnesses. You may also want to consider what your audience of Victorian citizens is likely to care most about. Try to take on the legal language of the courts as much as possible to make this writing authentic. A good tip would be to try and watch clips of courtroom TV dramas on youtube and pick out some of the common phrases and word choice that would make your writing sound more formal. Best of luck.
