After the party, Mohammed slipped away from his friends and sneaked through the Smith company headquarters. He infiltrated the courtyard, where he glimpsed Julia mumbling something to herself. Mohammed faded into the shadows.
There, Julia proclaimed her love for Mohammed. She lamented about the dilemma she was facing: she could either love Mohammed and wreck the family name or not love him, but suffer dearly for it.
At that moment, Mohammed emerged from the shadows. Mohammed than announced his love for Julia and from there, they got married secretly the next day.
The Muslim cleric agreed to marry them secretly, hoping they would end the family feud with their love. However, the next day, Julia’s trigger-happy brother, John, encounters Mohammed in the desert. John had noticed Mohammed in disguise at the party last night, which he sworn revenge on Mohammed. Mohammed did not wish to fight, but there was no holding the furious John back. In the duel between them, John was killed with a single bullet in the head.
Mohammed, charged with murder under Islamic law, is exiled. Julia, in another dilemma, asks the priest for advice. The priest gives her a potion which would allow her to fake her death, so she could escape with Mohammed.
Mohammed, thinking Julia is dead rushes back to her “tomb,” where she is “buried.” Entering the tomb, he sees Julia’s body and kills himself because he cannot live a life without his Julia. With his pistol, an extra body now rested in the tomb. A minute later, Julia awoke. Discovering the body of her Mohammed next to her, she, too, decides to suicide.
From that day on, the Smith’s and the Fatahs put aside their hatred. But for young Mohammed and Julia, the peace had come too late. Here ends the story of Mohammed and Julia.
Friar’s Defence Speech
From the evidence and witnesses given, it is too obvious that Friar Laurence is innocent of any crimes involving young Romeo and fair Juliet. We have thee for a holy man. His intentions were good and helpful and not malicious or murderous.
In fact, it seems that his intention was almost exactly the opposite of the above. He wished to:
-end the blood feud
- help a harried couple
- prevent Paris from wedding Juliet, because she is already bound to Romeo
Not only is the Friar not responsible for the deaths of these two youths, he also helped prevent their deaths. He had the intention to save them, but was too late in saving poor Romeo. The Friar also arrived too late before Juliet unfortunately stabbed herself in the heart with a dagger. After viewing bodies of the two lovers, my client was so shocked that he fled the tomb. Even if the Friar had been present, the deaths of Romeo and Juliet were voluntary. The Friar would not have been able to stop their double suicides.
As he contacted authorities, the Friar gave himself up and willingly accepted punishment. This pious monk is obviously very honest and obviously could be guilty of causing Romeo and Juliet’s death.
On the charge of possesion of illegal drugs, the Friar is also innocent. The substance which he gave to Juliet is known as Devil’s Sleep (Doxychlore Huxon) has returned from forensics testings. Although this drug contains small amounts of heroin and marijauna, these amounts are safely within legal limits.
The friar cannot be charged with substance abuse. May I point out that the substance mentioned above was not abused by the friar. It was used by Juliet with the Friar’s consent. Therefore, neither the Friar nor Juliet can be charged witrh substances abuse.
Therefore, with my above arguments, it is clear that my client, Friar Laurence should be cleared of all all charges against him.
