A Modern Version of Romeo and Juliet

This is the story of two young lovers named Mohammed Fatah and Julia

Smith. Mohammed was the only son of a Muslim sheik who owned many

oilfields in Iran, while Julia was the daughter of a powerful

oil-mining tycoon. The Fatah's and Smith's had been enemies as long as

anyone could remember. If they happened to meet in the desert, they

often fought. The sounds of gunfire would echo across the deserts

almost daily. Through the years, many employees and family members had

died at the hands of the other.

One day, the Smith's company held a great party in the desert. Sheiks,

tycoons, politicians and all the rich influential people from all over

the world had been invited, except of course, the Fatahs.

However, Mohammed Fatah and his friends went to the party, wearing

thick turbans to avoid being pushed out by bouncers. As Mohammed

steeped past all the celebrities there, he glimpsed the lovely Julia.

Her beauty took his breath away. She, in turn, was swept off her feet

by the charming young man. At first, Mohammed did not know she was a

Smith. Nor did Julia know he was a Fatah. They fell in love. And so,

their tragedy began.

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. ...

...epted 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.
