The charges against Macbeth at the trial are three counts of first-degree murder for the death of Duncan

and the two guards. He is charged for contracted murder for hiring murderers to kill Banquo. After the Macbeth Trial, We, the jury, have reached our conclusion. Macbeth has been found guilty with two counts of first-degree murder of the guards but not guilty for the death of Duncan and Banquo. The Jury has found Macbeth not guilty of the first-degree murder and treason for the death of King Duncan. The reason we came to this decision is solely based on the fact that there is no hard evidence supporting these accusations. Lady Macbeth also confessed to planning the murder, but claimed that Macbeth refused to do it. In addition, we must look to the morale side of this situation. Macbeth had an undying loyalty towards Duncan according to Banquos testimony. After being given a new title for his bravery, what would make him want to murder his king? Due to the lack of evidence by the crown attorney, Macbeth is found not guilty of treason and the murder of King Duncan. The Jury has found Macbeth guilty of two counts of first-degree murder of the two guards that guarded King Duncan at the night of the murder. The testimony by Macduff showed that Macbeth openly admitted that he killed the guards. Macbeth admits in killing the guards but blames it on his anger. I personally think that this sentence should be reduced. According to United States Sentencing Guidelines in which Canadian law is based on, If the victim's wrongful conduct contributed significantly to provoking the offense behavior, the court may reduce the sentence below the guideline range to reflect the nature and circumstances of the offense. Therefore Macbeths sentence in prison should be reduced and even adding the possibility of release by parole onto the sentencing. The Jury has found Macbeth not guilty of Banquos murder. The witnesses brought by the crown attorney could not identify any of the murderers. Under Canadian law guidelines, contracted murder is defined by an arrangement between two people where money or anything of value is passed from one individual to the next in return for causing the death of a person indirectly or directly. There is no evidence that the murderers received any type of payment and acted on their on wills. The murderers chose to follow through Macbeths outburst in which Macbeth claims had no ill intention. After careful deliberations, we the jury, have found Macbeth, The Thane of Glamis and Cawdor and the King of Scotland, guilty on two counts of murder. On the other hand, Macbeth has been found not guilty of the deaths of Duncan and Banquo.
