Monster Attacks Harlem

The case of Steve Harmon and James King vs. Alguinaldo Nesbitt and the state had some developments in the last session. For those that are new to the case King and Harmon are on trial for felony murder, this incident allegedly happened when the two men tried to rob a drugstore, in the aftermath Mr. Nesbitt the owner of the store ended up dead apparently from his own gun. The only thing taken from the scene was five cartons of cigarettes and money from the register. Today the prosecution brought out their star witness “Bobo” Evans. When Petrocelli brought Bobo to the stand she asked some questions about Bobo allegedly being in a gang and how he admits he took part in the crime and needed to but the blame on someone else, and made him look rather guilty for taking the plea deal. She also proves that Bobo was a hardened criminal and had committed crimes like these before.Bobo also says that King was high when the incident happened and that he was the one who fired the gun on Nesbitt. Bobo will also tell Petrocelli that King was the one who “cased” the store and was to give a signal if the cops for some reason were in the store.  The next to interview Bobo would be Asa Briggs. Asa briggs had a few of the same questions for Bobo but this time asks if he was in the store to commit a felony. She makes him look rather guilty by making sure the jury realizes that he was the only one that admits to being in the drugstore. The 3rd and final attorney to ask questions is O’brien. O’brien just asks Bobo about how he had never talked to Steve, never seen Steve before the heist, and that he did indeed not get a taste of the drugstore deal.
