Q1: Do you really believe the defendant was not gang related? If he really wasn't why was he being profiled as so by police officers?

Q2: Do you think the defendant really found the brass knuckles or do you think one of his friends gave it to him?

No I do not believe he was gang related because his appearance wasn’t gangster like but you never know, but I do believe that he did have knowledge of the brass knuckles and he didn’t just find them in the streets he probably already had them .

I believe the defendant was not gang related because he seemed very honest about his answers and his life. The police thought he was gang related because he hung out with people who were.

I believe he did find the brass knuckles because he didn’t hesitate whenever someone asked about them. He told the truth.

Q!: I do not believe the defendant when he said that he was not affiliated with any gangs because he did mention he had friends that were in the chivas gang. The reason the cops were following him was just for the reason that he hung out with those people it automatically tells cops that you are in a gang when in reality you are not.

Q2:I do think the defendant found the brass knuckles because he said that where he found them there is a lot of gang related activity. Some other gangs could have had them and maybe dropped them although I do not see why he would pick up those brass knuckles if that would already make him suspicious.

Q1: I don't think the defendant was in some sort of gang because he seemed really honest about all his answers. The police might have referred to him as part of a gang because he has friends that are in a gang.

Q2: I think one of his friends gave him the brass knuckles because when he was explaining that he found them, it didn't really make sense. I don't think anyone would just leave brass knuckles in the middle of the street.

Q1. In my opinion, I don’t think that the defendant was gang affiliated, I just simply think that he hanged out with the wrong people, especially since he attends a continuation school.
Q2. I do think that the defendant is guilty for the brass knuckles, even though we don’t know how the defendant got the brass nuckles, yet where found under his possession.

I believe that the defendant was not part of a gang due to the fact that he said the name of the gang. He did not seem like the kid to be in a gang. He might have been suspected of being in a gang because of the brass knuckles found on him and the school he goes to.

I think one of his friends might have gave them the brass knuckles. Brass knuckles don’t lay around and/or are forgotten due to evidence of a existent gang and b/c of their significance

Q-1
I don’t believe the defendant was gang related or had any affiliation in being part of a gang at all. I believe he was being profiled so by a police because it may be he hangs out with people who are in the Chivaz gang.
Q-2
I don’t believe the defendant randomly found the brass knuckles outside a 7/11. I do believe he’s friends could have given him the knuckles.

A1: i don't believe he was gang related but maybe his step father was or his real dad as well. He might have had some type of clothes that made him look gang related.
A2: i think that he did find the brass knuckles but the way he said he found is pretty unlikely just to find them on the floor.

I don’t believe that the defendant was gang related. He seemed honest and genuine. I believe that he was just racially profiled by the officers.

I think it could be possible that the defendant lied and got the brass knuckles another way. However, he seemed honest about his whole testimony and his story was consistent, so I doubt he lied about how he acquired the brass knuckles.

2. I dont think he found the knuckles at 7/11 i think he found them at his uncle house

I don’t really believe the defendant was gang related, he seems very weak . Maybe the way he dressed alarmed the cops that he might be .
The defendant story seemed a little off so I actually do think one of his friends gave him the weapon .

Q1- I don’t believe he was gang related. I don’t think he was lying. He was probably profiled because of his school attire

Q2- I don’t believe he found the brass knuckles on the street. Someone wouldn’t just drop them on the floor

I believe that the defendant was no gang related but he would hang out with the wrong group of people putting him in danger.
I don’t think the defendant found the brass knuckles on the floor, I believe he already had them since before making that story up and made that story up so he won’t get in much trouble if it ever came to getting caught with them.

I don’t believe the defendant was gang related because he really wasn’t happy about the situation that happened with the gang. The defendant was being profiled by the police because he had Brass knuckles on him

Question #1: I don’t think he was gang related, I think he just looks like it by the way he was dressed and the friends he surrounded himself with, he seemed very kind and respectful, also scared and didn’t want any trouble. I think they only profiled him because of the people he was hanging out with when they already were gang related, so the officers must believe he’s part of their group.

Question #2: It could go either way, I feel that he was already being really honest so if he really did get them from a friend I believe he would’ve said so since he already told the court the gangs name, you’d figure he would say a friend gave it to him. Sometimes those things really are lying around, just like knives are from what I have seen myself.

Q-1
I don’t believe the defendant was gang related. I believe he was lying the crime about the polices.
Q-2
I don’t believe the defendant found the brass knuckles outside a 7/11. He probably stole from someone else or get from a friend

Q1: I don’t believe that the defendant was gang related. I think that the police officers profiled him as if he was because of the friends he hangs out with since they are in a gang. The way he was probably dressed the day he was caught and the fact that he “looked suspicious” could also be why they profiled him.
Q2:Yes i do believe that the defendant did find the brass knuckles. The reason why i believe it would be because he was honest about his friends and their gang. I don’t think he told his parents about them because he probably thought that they would get upset with him for picking it up in the first place.

I thought that he was already being really honest so if he really did get them from friends and he already told the court the gangs name.

1. no, i believed he was gang related because he had gang friends and how he acted that gave the right to the officers to profile.
2. i personally believe that his friend gave it to him because of protection from other gangs

1. I think he was not gang related because he didn't really have anything going on in his life. He was being profiled by police officers probably because of the way he was dressed or the people he talks to.

2. I think one of his friends gave him the brass knuckles

1. I do not believe that the defendant was in a gang, but that he had close ties with people in a gang and that he can rely on them if he got into any trouble. I feel like he just got unlucky when being asked to search his backpack, he might of also carried a reputation by hanging out with the group that he does.

2. I don’t believe the story he told us on how he acquired the brass knuckles. I believe either a friend of someone close to him gave it to them to defend himself.

1. I do not believe he was gang related but that he would just try to act and dress like his friends who were gang related. He still seemed honest and respectful. He also seemed scared of what coul have happened to him.
2. I dont think he found them. I think his friends gave it to him for protection or too just show off.
