    What you do is to describe the evidence that was presented during the trial and explain how that evidence proves that Jack Merridew is guilty of the crime of murder.

    You can remind the jury of what the witnesses said and discuss any physical evidence. You can also describe anything Merridew said that helps prove his guilt.

    Good luck on your assignment!
