Heinz Closing Argument

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here to represent Heinz. Let me remind you that he did indeed admit to the crime that he committed. Also, this man was not stealing the drugs in order to get high or anything of the sort. He was stole the drugs in order to help his sick, dying wife. Additionally, Heinz was able to gather up $1000 from his family and friends so he could offer it to the druggist. The druggist I turn told him that he discovered the drug and was going to make money off of it. Heinz was obviously struggling but druggist had no mercy on him which led my client to no choice. So yes, this man stole the drug but it wasn't for a bad cause. It was to help his true love live rather than be torn away from him by this terrible disease.
