How can one prove that any genus $2$ smooth curve is hyperelliptic? Remember that a smooth curve $C$ is called hyperelliptic if there exists a morphism $\phi:C \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $2$.

    $|K_X|=\mathbb{P}^1$ and the canonical map gives the double cover. I made a mistake in my old computation. Thanks.2012-12-03
