Julius Caesar Why does Cassius want Brutus to win the conspiracy? Asked by bookragstutor 13 years ago 8/20/2012 10:23 AM Last updated by anonymous 13 years ago 8/30/2012 12:14 AM
Cassius knows that Brutus is well liked by the Romans and the conspirators want to make this look like it is a righteous act. Also, Brutus is Caesar's closest friend, so Caesar would never suspect him of betrayal.
