Judge: Court may commence.
Prosecutor: Your Honor, gentlemen of the jury, the defendant has been accused of a multitude of crimes. Firstly, the defendant is accused of the premeditated first degree murder of Desdemona, widow of Othello, Roderigo, our nobleman and Emilia, the defendant’s widow. Secondly, he is accused of assaulting Cassio. Lastly, the defendant is accused of the theft of Desdemona’s handkerchief and using it as false evidence to libel chaste Desdemona as an adulteress.
This horrible wretched man, commonly known as ‘honest’ Iago is nothing but petty, murderous and spiteful. A person who contemptuous of virtues and morals, and thus manipulates the vile in all the people surrounding him. He despises all things pure and righteous. He plotted, schemed, and falsified evidence to serve his treacherous plans; which were to make Othello suffer and lose everything. Fingerprints matching the defendant’s were found on Desdemona’s handkerchief. This is non-indictable evidence of the defendant stealing this handkerchief and planting it on Cassio to make Othello doubt his wife and induce a jealous rage in him. Which consequently resulted in Othello killing his wife. …show more content…
To sabotage Cassio, the defendant led him to drink and subsequently become violent. He then coerced Rodrigo to brawl with Cassio. Afterwards, he stabbed Cassio and Roderigo, resulting in the latter’s death. This led to Cassio’s dismissal, which in turn led to him going to Desdemona and begging her to seek Othello’s forgiveness. These meetings are the weapon the defendant used to release the jealousy in Othello. Due to extreme jealousy, distrust and Iago’s vile machinations, Othello did what any man would do to a cheating wife; he killed innocent
