Summary Paragraph


Steve Harmon and James King are on trial for felony murder awaiting the verdict. They are hoping not to get charged with capital punishment. They had planned this job out and decided to stick up someone the police didn’t care about, like someone with a green card. If they did that, they most likely wouldn't be apprehended.  When James actually goes through with the job, Steve goes in first to case the store, he waits inside when the robbery actually goes down. There is a struggle between King, an accomplice Bobo, and Nesbitt  in the drugstore and Mr. Nesbitt ends up dead, shot apparently by his own gun.  There are 5 cartons of cigarettes stolen from the store but nothing else besides money from the register. Later James King and Steve are in court for felony murder. The first day on trial we 9 allbn read is that the prosecution and the defense give their opening statements, Petrocelli states that she wishes to charge the vicious people, King and Harmon, with felony murder. Briggs states that she will prove King and Harmon innocent. We later found out that Jose Zinzi was the who found the body. We also later learn that Bobo later sells the stolen cigarettes to Bolden. Bolden later tells Zinzi about their deal with the stolen cigarettes, Bolden and Zinzi use this information and give their testimony to accept a plea bargain and lessen their sentence. Later Bobo also takes a plea bargain and testifies against King and Harmon. Osvaldo Cruz, a member of the Diablos, who is also acquaintances with King, testifies in court. He doesn't reassure Steve of being innocent.
