hi there,

i need help with the following,

 

Objective: To highlight the main points of your case to the judge and jury with the case, and establish how

key issues have been resolved in your client’s favour. A closing address is an argument about which facts

are to be accepted, what principles of law apply, and what outcome follows.

 

 

Need a Closing address for the Prosecution re Dwight;

 

The case: R v Dwight; is below.

 

Angela asks her friend Dwight to feed her cat Garbage Pail, a rare expensive breed worth $20 000, while she

is on holiday. She gives Dwight a key to her place. Dwight realizes the value of the cat and sells it to Jim

before Angela returns home. While he is in her house he also eats all her European white truffles. When

Angela returns, Dwight tells Angela that her cat has died. He promises to buy her a new cat. Angela is

distraught over the death of her beloved cat and begins to drink heavily. One day while heavily intoxicated,

Angela sees Jim with her cat. In a fit of rage she smashes her umbrella across Jim’s face, breaking his nose

and takes Garbage Pail.

 

 

The closing address should answer only the following questions:

 

5. Resolve any ambiguities or disputes in the facts

 

6. Rebut the other side’s arguments

 

7. Conclude on what the final outcome should be.

 

Thanks
