Monster by Walter Dean Myers

Is it fair that Steve Harmon is on trial for murder when,
#1 The only role he had was to walk into the store and check to see that the store was empty.
#2 None of the witnesses have yet to identify Steve as being involved in the crime.

No it is not fair because first of all just because some one accused you does not make you guilty automatically it makes you a suspect and if your watching to see if anyone is in a store that makes you well someone who is involved but not in the crime second of all if no witness has yet to identify Steve as being to be involved then there's no proof of him being guilty and thats my opinion

I dont think it's fair that Steve Harmon is on trail for murder. He's only there because the gang members accusing him. Anyway to be 100% i'll have to read on because a the case is not over.

well yeah, juror 8089, the time is wrong.anyway back to buisness. i take both sides on this. for number 1, it isn't fair for him. if he didn't do it than that means that he is wrongly accused. however if they are right than that means he is guilty. that leads to number 2. if he is guilty than he should be punished. he allowed the murder to happen. even if he had no hand in it, he is part of the reason that the man is dead. so yea i take both sides in this one.

I agree that it's not fair that steve harmon is on trail for murdure because he did'nt even go in to rob he just whent to spy.
And all the suspects says about King.
No proof to tell he was even involved in it

well juror 823, even if he didn't rob or steal or murder, he still went to spy(maybe)right? that still isn't right though. that still gives you a hand in helping them.

lol juror 8089...... well i think that it is not fair that Steve Harmon is on trail for murder when first of all he is only accused of seeing if the store was empty and none of the witnesses have identified Steve as being involved. So i think that is not fair that Steve is on trail for murder. I think this because they dont know if Steve really killed someone and hes in jail. And the witnesses haven't even mentioned Steve because he didnt do anything big like King.

like i said before anonymous,even though steve did not do anything involved in murdering the person, he still helped them go in and commit the crimes.

I think Steve should be on trial for murder. Even though he was seeing if the store was emptyhe still participated in a role. All i know Steve Harmon is an accomplise and he had a part in the robbery. None of the witness' saw harmon but that doesnt mean he didnt do it.

Anonymous said...

no i don't think it is fair that Steve is on trial for murder because none of the witnesses has identified him as one of the four people involved with the robbery.

I think it is fair for Steve Harmon to be on trial because of the fact Steve said there no cops to the gang members. This led to the robbery which then led to the mudering. However i believe that it would be unfair if he was accused even though there was no proof that he helped.That would simply making Steve guilty before proven innocent while the law states you are innocent before proven guilty

Anonymous said...

Well, i agree with juror 8088 because he did help the gang member by checking to make sure there were no police in the store.

Anonymous said...

i totally agree with you 815. like i said, it is fair but at the same time unfair. also if he did not do anything, at least they can show that you have always been innocent.

Yes i do believe its fair that Steve Harmon is on trial even thought he wus the look out to see if the store was empty.The reason why is because that is really dumb that u would want too be a look out knowing that sumthing bad would happen.Also even thought that none of the witness has identify that he was apart of it he should he should sum time for being the look out.

Anonymous said...

lolz this is so cool but its time for H.W. In a way I think its fare because he was involed in the murder because he was telling the gang members to go and do what they had to do, so he was apart of it. I also think it's not fare because he did not murder the owner so he shouldn't be on trail for murder he should be on trail for a robbery and making a crime.

jurur 8089 the time is wrong. juror 829 i think your right its not fair his on trail for muder plus i dont even think we found out if he muder the person i no....... i no this have to do wit the H.W. but thanks Mr. Colletti for making this blog its so omg!!!

I think that Steve Harmon should not be on trial when the only thing that he had to do was to go and see if the store was empty and besides none of the witness have yet accused him of having to do something with the murder of the store owner.

Anonymous said...

i don't think it fair to steve harmon that he is on trail for murdering. yes, he did HELP king and the other two to rob and murder the store owner.But that doesn't mean he murdered the store owner.He is just helping it. ok, even those he is involved in this case but the trail for the whole life it really not fair, cause all the edviences it pointing on King.So for #1 i said it not fair.

For #2, i would said that steve should get punlished. Because he really did something that automatically made the store owner died.

I not think that its fair for Steve Harmon to be in trail FOR MURDER, he should be in trail FOR HELPING WITH THE ROBBERY.

Yes i think that it is fair if he knew that king was a gang member i dont think that he should have been with him

No Steve Was a gang member in the first place its peer pressure, hes trying to get "street credit" im sure everyone would have done the same thing. He wanted to be with king and he knew he was a gang member

juror8086 said...

No its not fair that steve harmon is on trial for murder when none of the people proved that steve harmon was gulity.In my opinon just for seeing if a store is empty or not doesent get steve harmon involved.

Anonymous said...

i think steve harmon on trail is not fair because he was accused of murder which he did not do. he was only a lookout for the suspects who did commit the crime. he did not murder mr.nesbitts, james king did. besides, the jury did not have enough evidence to support that steve commited the murder. i dont think its fair for steve to be on trail for being accused of the murder of mr.nesbitts.

no i don't think that it's fair that Steve is on trial for killing when his only job was to check if the store is empty and them not haven pruf that he did the murder so i think that they need to prove it first and then see what trial he should go for. He still help them do it so their a reason for blaming him for that but they still don't have pruf

I do not think it is fair that Steve is on Trail for murder if all he did was just look inside the store and see if it was empty sore. I think this because all steve did was just check he never touched anything. And I also think that it is unfair becuase nobody have seen him actully kill someone or even hurt sombody just because he said he checked the store doesn't mean he killed someone and no one saw him so steve is being treated unfair on trail

Anonymous said...

No i dont think that it is fair that steve harmon is on trial beacause why would they have him on trial beacuse first of all THEY have no witnesses that prove that he did anything the only thing he had to do was to check if the store was clear.AND HE DIDNT KILL anybody.so why have him on trial?so nop i dont think it is fair that he is on trial

Mr. Colletti said...

Yes juror 8089 the time is wrong, however, it is behind by about three hours and yes, anonymous juror i will fix the time. Glad to see you guys are enjoying this. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Anonymous said...

No, I think its not fair because Steve Harmon didn't kill anyone and Steve wasn't even identified of being involved. But he did help the other person meaning he has to come on trial.

It's still not fair that Stve Harmon is on trail. Because think you were in trouble for no reason.
what will happen you will be pissed off. So it's like that Steve Harmon is involved in a murdure that he never did.
And none of the evidence talk about Steve. As Juror 828 Says he was not INVOLVED in this casse at all.
I strongly agree that.
He was 99.9% not involved in this case.

Anonymous said...

I do not believe that Steve Harmon should be on trial for murder because there is no evidence that he was involved in the crime. The Constitution states that a man is innocent until proven guilty and the only proof is a gang member's allegation. No witnesses have identified Steve as guilty. Steve may have been completely uninvolved in the crime and simply been scapegoated. Even if Steve was guilty, he did not pull the trigger or kill Mr. Nesbitt. He only played lookout and had a clean slate up until then. He should not be at risk of capital punishment merely for that.

Also, sorry for being off topic, but this is a really smart system. Now I can do my homework even when I'm absent!

Anonymous said...

No its not fair that Steve Harmon had to go to jail because he didn't murder the owner from the drug store. you can tell if someone is lying or telling the truth. Someone might blame him. Plus when the story said that he was wearing suit, he knows that its not pro peat to wear any cloth you want, he know that you had to wear a suit so the judge don't think he is a killer. He knows that and he is innocnt. If you are a killer than a killer would probably wear anything because they don't care but Steve does, so maybe that might be the second clue that he is innocent. It doesn't mean that you are quilty that you saw the store was empty. Steve saw the store that was empty and maybe saw dead owner from the drugs store died. So that is my opinion.

Well actually I do think that it is right for him to be on trial because he did take part in the crime by checking if the store was clear so the 2 men could do the criminal act but although he is on trial for murder i dont think it is right for him to be on trial for "MURDER".That my opinion.

I think that it's fair that Steve is on trial when all he did was check to see if the store was empty because he still had a part in the robbery. He should've stopped the robbery or told the police about it. I also think it's fair for him to be on trial when there were no witnesses that identified him yet because he might be part of the robbery and there's a chance.

Anonymous said...

I don't think it's fair that Steve Harmon is on trail for murder. I think everyone here knows what murder is. So if none of the witnesses don't have no proof that Steve murdered someone, then why is he accused. The only thing he did was walk in the store and check if it was empty. Yes, he was part of it, but he didn't murder no one.

sorry for being off topic but this is an intresting way to do h.w ... its also better than writing the h.w ... nice idea mr. colletti.

juror 4 said...

I don't think it is fair that Steve Harmon is on trial, because it was not Steve's decision that he wanted to join the gangs, they forced him to be with them. And when Steve was on trial for murder, everybody's opinion was that Steve was guilty, but truly he wasn't. None of them could proof that Steve was guilty, or innocent, because they could not identify in the crime who killed the owner of the shop. When Steve was injected, Steve was a little late to be considered as a innocent civilian.

I don't think that it's fair that Steve Harmon has to go on murder trail when all he did was to walk into the store and check to see that the store was empty. And besides none of the witnesses even accused Steve Harmon being involved in the crime. Therefore it's not fair because there's no evidence of Steve being guilty.

I don't think that it is fair that Steve Harmon is on trail because he is accused for murder when the only thing he did was to be a look out for King James and "Bobo".None of the witnesses have said Steve was involved.Steve Harmon was not in the robbery or in the murder.

No, I don't think it is fair that Steve Harmon is on trail because someone accused him of murder. There are no witnesses to prove that he was the one who murdered the store owner. All Steve did was check the store out.

It's not fair that Steven is on trial. Like what everyone else said, all Steven did was checking the close was clear. He did not even touch the gun that killed Mr. Nesbitts. There's no proof he did anything also. I think he's innocent already.

i dont think it is fair that steven is on trail for murder because he is accused of checking the store if it empty. steven didnt muder the store owner and the one who did it are richard bobo and james king.

I don't think it is fair that steve harmon is on trial becasue even though he may have been involved in the crime as a lookout, he didn't actually commit a crime. Being a lookout in a crime doesn't neccesarily mean that he had killed or robbed the store clerk. Steve accused Steve so that's why he is in this mess.

I meant to say that Bobo evans accused steve so that is why he is in this mess.

No it's not fair because they just can't say your automatically guily they have to show prove or else they can't just say your guilty. Also they can blame you right away just beacuse someone said you did it. What I mean by that is that you have to show proof to see if your really the one who did the crime or what ever somebody did.

No it is not fair because all he did was going in and check if the store was empty hed to do nothing with the crime and even going to the death penalty. he should be in trail for helping with the roberty.

No I do not think it is fair that Steve is on trial for this. if he took almost no part in the crime Why should he be on trial anyways? Just because sumone accused him of It doesnt mean he really did it. There were no witnesses to tell the jury about Steve being invovled at the scene.

I do not think he should be tried guilty because he may be go to the store just lookingfor something to buy and he was caught at the wrong time and wrong place.

#1)No it is not fair that Steve Harmon is on trial for murder because it wasn't his fault. He was accused for the crime, by the gang that he never wanted to be in. He was in troble because Steve Harmon was scared of Bobo.

#2) No it is not fair that Steve Harrmon is on trial for murder because he tried to get out of the problem.

It is not fair that Steven Haromn is on trail. First of all they don't have no proof that he killed the owner or hurt any person in the store. He only went to check if the cost was clear. So it is not fair that he is on trial for murder.

well it not fair that he gets blammed for it! he shouldnt be accused for anything he didnt do it ! and he shouldnt be in jail intill they had good proof about him in the store! plus if they are accusing him why dont they take him a lie dettector test to prove he is innocent!

Anonymous said...

This is a test.

Anonymous said...

They can't make him take the lie detector test because the lie detector test isn't really effective. It judges if people are lying by their heartbeats, so Steve might get nervous and his heart beat will quicken and everything he says, even if it is a truth, will be determined as a lie by the lie detector.

No it is no fair that Steve Harmon is on trial for murder beacuse all he did was check if the store was empty he can be on trial for being a part of the crime but not for murder and why is he there if none of the witnesses said Steve was part of the crime.
