Mr Harmon Court Case

487 Words2 Pages

As forewoman of the jury we believe that Mr. Harmon was the look out for the robbery. Two witnesses stated that Mr. Harmon was to go into the drugstore before the robbery was supposed to happen and see if there were any cops or probable witnesses to the crime that ended Mr. Nesbitt’s life. Mr. Harmon’s own journal he stated that he participated in the robbery. These reports of the actions lead us to the conclusion that Mr. Harmon participated in the crime. In Mr. Harmon’s journal it stated evidence that he did go into the drugstore with the intent of being a lookout. In his journal it said “What did I do? What did I do? Anybody can go into a drugstore and look around.” This strengthens our combined opinion that Mr. Harmon did go into the the store …show more content…

Harmon’s journal it also is stated that he wished to be like Mr. King and Mr. Evans. This reinforces the argument that Mr. Harmon is guilty of felony murder. in his journal he said “It was me, I thought as I tried not to throw up, it was me who had wanted to be tough like them.” This statement leads to the belief that Mr. Harmon admired Mr. King and Mr. Evans and this could possibly lead to him following their paths of a criminal. A robbery such as the one at the drugstore could have been his first “training”. Mr. Cruz and Mr. Evans confirmed this theory that he participated in it.

Mr. Cruz and Mr. Evans participated in the crime and they both stated in their testimonies that Mr. Harmon had been a participant in the robbery. Mr. Cruz testified that “Steve was going to be the lookout.” and Mr. Evans confirmed this in his testimony. He testified “ ‘You indicated that Mr. Harmon gave you the all-clear signal so you could proceed with the robbery, is that right?’ ‘Yeah.’ ” These two quotes from the two participants in that crime show that not only did Mr. Harmon agree to participate in the robbery, he gave the signal to let the other in the robbery know that the coast was clear, allowing the robbery to

Steve Harmon Is Guilty Essay

806 Words | 4 Pages

The book ended ambiguously and left the reader to question whether or not Steve was truly innocent. Because of the numerous questionable scenes/parts in the novel, I believe that Steve Harmon is guilty of being a participant in the crime that led to death of Mr. Nesbitt. Would a man who was innocent continuously change his story? Steve’s statements regarding his whereabouts and what he was doing on the day of the murder is inconsistent. Steve stated that he just went inside

Bad Choices In The Monster By Walter Dean Myers

1036 Words | 5 Pages

My first impression when I was reading the book is that the environment in which one lives in can influence our decisions. The book describes Steve in general as a good guy from a harsh environment that has molded him poorly. Steve is a 16-year-old from the ghetto, and as one from the ghetto, he believes that surviving on the streets requires working on the side of the gang, not against it. Therefore, as a result, he has lived his young life doing jobs for the gang that has gotten him involved in small crimes, drug usage, and other poor choices. However, Myers' story shows it is clear Steve has made bad choices as a product of his environment and one can argue if Steve is "evil" because he has done these crimes as a result of his environment

Ambiguity In Tim O Brien

934 Words | 4 Pages

Tim O’Brien states, “Lavender was now dead, and this was something he would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of the war” (O’Brien 16). In this quote, Tim O’Brien explains that since Jimmy Cross blames himself about Ted Lavender’s death, he will always be in lieutenant’s head. Thus, the lieutenant will always feel the guilt. With this, Tim O’Brien makes the reader think that Jimmy Cross is the person to blame since he is the head of the group and he has to pay more attention to his plans. Having questions about his love, Martha, in his mind instead of being careful about his men is the reason of him feeling guilty that “the lieutenant’s in some deep hurt” (17).
