Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution will prove to you that he is the accused. He had the motives, opportunity and ability to commit the crime and this will be shown in the evidence presented to you.

Firstly, the accused needed money. He was in debt, owing the bank over $100.000. He had no chance of repaying this; therefore, he needed quick money. That’s why he stole the Macquarie Diamond.

Secondly, the accused had the opportunity. As a security guard he could come and go from the exhibition of the diamond without causing suspicion. He had a plenty of time on the night of the robbery to take diamond, hide it and return to his post before the next guard came on duty.

Finally, the accused had the ability to take the Macquarie Diamond. He had knowledge of the alarm system and keys to unlock the display case. On this evidence you have no other choice but to find him guilty.
