Arson

Imagine that you are an assistant district attorney prosecuting someone for arson. Create a 5-minute script that gives your closing argument to the jury. Be sure to script your closing argument.

Because of the limitations of this assignment, this part of your closing argument is for the purposes of providing context to your case – you will not be focusing on the facts/law of a specific case, such as the name of the accused, where the fire occurred, the state statute it violated, etc.

Incorporate the following points in your closing argument:

History of arson

Why is arson a crime?

Appropriate punishments for Arson

After you have concluded your closing argument, use a Word document and format the sources using APA style.

Be sure to cite three to five relevant scholarly sources in support of your content. Use only sources found at the Library, government/legal websites.
