Opening Statement

Your Honor, Juries, Ladies and Gentlemen. We are here today to prove to you that Brutus did not and does NOT have the best interests in Rome. Brutus says that Caesar was a Tyrant, but what proof does he have that Caesar was a tyrant? We even have a witness, an ex-Servant of Caesar that will tell you how Caesar was a kind and generous Master. Also, Brutus says that by killing Caesar that they would bring peace and prosperity to Rome. But, all it did was bring sadness, chaos, war, anger, hatred, and death. We have two kind people here who can tell you how they tried to warn Caesar of the danger, the conspirators, and their betrayal. But, they were stopped by Brutus and his men from accomplishing their mission. Also, we have a fellow Plebian with us who will tell you how Brutus joined the Conspiracy and how he and his fellow friends planed Caesars death, from the moment he stepped out of his house, to the moment when he fell to the ground with the shock of Brutus's horrible and terrible betrayal. That is what we are going to prove to you today. Thank you.

Here's what I have for the opening statement. Please tell me what you think and where you think I might need to change it.
