Justine Moritz Proven Guilty
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here to present to you the guiltiness of Justine Moritz for the murder of the beloved William Frankenstein. To start it off, Justine doesn’t have the most reliable alibi from that night due to the staying out late, even though many witnesses saw her out late. Also, we know that one of the most crucial manifest of this murder is knowing that the locket seen on William just hours before his murder was suspiciously found in Justine’s pocket the day after. Unfortunately, it is a misfortune that I have to stand before all of you proving the guilt of this kind women, when it is just as easy to see past the evidence and go from what I feel in the heart. As she speaks, you can just hear the innocence in her voice as she utters, “God knows, how entirely I am innocent… and I hope the character I have always borne will incline my judges as a favourable interpretation,” (Shelley 65). However, it is my duty to prove to you why you must not follow your emotions, yet rather the staunch evidence stated in this argument. Even though she may use her charm, by the end of this argument, you will be surely convinced that Justine is guilty because of her suspicious alibi and noteworthy locket.
In the first place, there are several reasons that show where Justine Moritz was on that day. One witness states that Moritz had been out all night onn which the murder had been commited. In the morning, a market women approached Justine, not far from the spot where the body of William had been found, and asked what she was doing there. The witness said Justine “looked very strangely and only returned a confused and unintelligible answer,” (Shelley 65). Another witness, Elizebeth, then stated that Justine was at aunt Chene’s house, located about a league from Geneva, the night of the murder. In contrast, it was also said that she was ill on her death bed for several days up to the day of the murder. This can contrast this argument because this shows
