"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: we have not only the fingerprints, the lack of an alibi, a clear motive,and an expressed desire to commit the robbery... We also have video of the suspect breaking in. The case could not be more open and shut." Logos Scare Tactics Pathos Ethos

## Step 1<br />The problem presents a scenario where a speaker is making an argument in a court of law. The speaker uses several rhetorical strategies to convince the jury of the guilt of the suspect. These strategies include the use of evidence (fingerprints, lack of an alibi, motive, and desire to commit the crime), video evidence, and the assertion that the case is "open and shut".<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The speaker's argument is based on logical reasoning and evidence, which is a characteristic of the rhetorical strategy known as Logos. Logos is a rhetorical device that appeals to logic and reason, and it is used to persuade the audience by presenting a logical argument.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The speaker does not use Scare Tactics, which involves using fear to persuade the audience. The speaker does not use Pathos, which appeals to the audience's emotions. The speaker also does not use Ethos, which appeals to the speaker's credibility or character.
