Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

We gather here today not just to analyze evidence, but to understand the weight of a life
lost. A life that once held dreams, aspirations, and love. This isn’t merely a case
number. This is a tragedy that has shaken our community.

As I stand before you, I can still picture the scene. The dim light, the silence broken only
by the echo of sirens. The body lay there—a reminder of fragility. You might think you
can distance yourself from it. But that’s where the danger lies. We must confront the
truth, no matter how uncomfortable it feels.

I’ve seen darkness. I’ve walked those streets where danger lurks. I’ve witnessed the
aftermath of choices made in an instant. The victim in this case had a family. They had
plans for tomorrow. But all of that ended abruptly. And for what? A moment of anger, a
flash of rage? We cannot let that be the final chapter of their story.

Every detail matters. The blood on the floor, the shattered glass. Each piece tells a
story. It’s my duty to piece it together. Not just for the victim, but for justice. For those left
behind. They deserve answers.

Trust me when I say this—the truth is often buried beneath layers of deception. It takes
patience, determination, and sometimes, it takes a toll on the soul. But I won’t back
down. I can’t.

I ask you to remember that as you deliberate. Justice isn’t just about punishment; it’s
about understanding. It’s about ensuring that when we leave this courtroom, we leave it
knowing we did everything we could to honor a life cut short.

Thank you.
