Monster

In the story monster written by Walter Dean Myers explains a story about a Yong man wanting to make a name for him self but in all the wrong ways and is put on trial for that mistake. Steve Harmon is put on trial for being involved with a robbery and a murder. I believe that Steve is innocent because first of all they don't have any evidence againts him, and if he was involved, all he was suppose to do was be the look-out. Steve wasn't the person who killed the store owner Mr.Nibbet. The police don't have any evidence that would tell them who did what and who was involved in the robbery.One of the people the key-witness to testify was Moore, James kings sister who tyred to cover for him, Moore had stayed that he was at her house for that whole day that the robbery had gone down and that king had bought her a lamp that she had broken. The second person to testify was Sawicki who was one of Steve's teachers and said that he wouldn't believe that Steve would do anything bad and that he could be trusted and that he was a good kid.The thirdly person to testify was Steve himself he said that king and all the others involved were just acquaintances and not friends and that he hadn't planned on helping in the robbery. In the story monster written by Walter dean explains Steve's innocents.

Steve's innocent

In the story Monster written by Walter Dean Myers, I believe that Steve is innocent. One reason is because his name wasn't mentioned at all, in the beginning of the trial. On the stand Jose, Zinzi and Bolden never said Steve's name once through out their testimony. Secondly because Steve believes he didn't do anything wrong, he was just the look out. Osvaldo said while on the stand that Steve was going to be the look-out. Steve stated that he didn't do anything. Thirdly because they don't have any evidence against Steve. Detective Karyl said that Steve was the one who killed the owner but also had said that there wasn't any usable finger prints for evidence. Steve's innocents is proven in the story Monster by Walter Dean Myers.
