Closing Statements
The Prosecution states that there does not need to be proof of stealing from the bank to be found guilty of bank robbery. This is the state that the prosecution’s case has arrived at. They claim that the Defendant showed clear signs of robbing the bank, which is also not proven. What, at this point, can the Prosecution prove beyond the Trespassing charge my client already pled guilty too? Certainly not that my client successfully robbed the bank in any way. They are, at this point, saying that trespassing in the bank is enough to be guilty of bank robbery, even if you were simply in there to walk around. Breaking into the bank and stealing from the bank are two different crimes for a reason and there is very much the possibility that someone walks into a bank and looks around without breaking any blocks. Therefore, I request that the Defendant is found Innocent of Bank Robbery.
