help please..of mice and men?

Hello. i really need help with closing arguments that i have to write to the jury. In this assignment, they’re are putting George on trial for murdering Lennie. And i have to choose whether George is guilty or not guilty of murdering Lennie. I think that he is guilty because if prerhaps he would have not killed Lennie, and he would have been excused pm grounds of lack of mental competence and may have been given a better life than had with George. So what i need help with is how to start my closing arguments and a few points to back my arguement. I will truly appreciate your help. (i’m not being lazy…ihave been working on this assignment for a long time, and i desperatley need help now.) Thank you once again.

Well, I read the book last year and I feel that George is innocent:

George had taken care of Lennie for a long time and was able to get him out of bad situations, until the death of Curley’s wife. If George did not kill Lennie then Curley would likely beat Lennie to death, which George would not want to see. George felt like he had to do the right thing for his best friend, which was to take him out of his misery. It is obvious that George is not guilty of murdering Lennie. His charges should be dropped to something less because it was a mercy kill. Right or wrong you decide, but a man knows what is best for their best friend.
