Law and Romeo and Juliet Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito served as chief judge in the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s wrongful death mock trial of Romeo and Juliet in Washington, DC.

This is kind of cool. Ok. It's really cool.

That's cool! Romeo was responsible, imo. He prevented Mercutio from defending himself, which led to the unraveling of events.

It's Shakespeare's fault. Nobody had to die, but he made it happen.

Dueling like fighting is fraught with dangers.

There are lots of bullies who run around looking for fights.

The movie "The Duelist" in 1977 dramatized this rather well.

The Duellists (1977) - IMDb

Tybalt was the one looking for the fight and this is what started the killing.

Tybalt is also the one who defied the ruling of the prince to forebear from dueling.

Romeo then kills Tybalt in revenge for his killing Mercutio in the faux duel.

Money, revenge, and sex are the 3 major causes of murder.

"M.R.S." same as the title for a married woman.

As the prince said at the conclusion, "all are punished" so he does not punish anyone else.

This is what I remember from high school English Lit.

Who started it all? Romeo obviously, but he is dead already.

The more scientific cause of it all was Juliet's beauty and her unfaithfulness to her own family.

It's Shakespeare's fault. Nobody had to die, but he made it happen.

He cooked up a good story though.

By the end of it, all the ladies were crying in the audience and all the men were mad as hell.

I like Alito. He is a strict constructionist patriot.

He loves and respects the Constitution, unlike the communist morons Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.

I have known Olivia Hussey, the actress in the phenomenal Romeo & Juliet (1968), for almost fifty years.

She's a good actress and a powerful ego.
