EL RANCHO TEEN COURT

December 2018

12/11/2017

 
Q1: Do you think this was the defendants first time racing? Why do you think she lied about what a car meet is? Do you believe her boyfriend was a bad influence to her, since he didn't stop her?
Q2: Although the defendant was found not guilty of the charges his attitude and that of his parents wasn't very adequate for a court room, how do you think his attitude can affect his future and the way he reacts to certain situations?

Q1. I belive that it wasn't the defendant first time racing because she knows a lot about cars she didn't hesitate to race when the girl ask her too.
Q2. The defendant and his parents attitude cold effect future problems because the parents gets mad fast and no one will take up with it and the police could arrest them next time.

Q1:I believe this wasn’t the first time defendant was racing . I believe the defendant lied about knowing what a car show is because if she gave a true definition it would be helped against her. I believe the boyfriend is a bad influence overall in this situation mainly because he didn’t care to stop her from racing and took her to car meets and made her interested in cars because he was.

Q2: If the parents continue to be disrespectful towards cops then can eventually get into deep trouble if something like this occurred.

A1: No, I don't believe this is the defendants first time racing because she seemed to know what to do. If she wasn't experienced why would she do it still? She might've lied because she wanted to seem innocent in front of the judges and her mother. Her boyfriend should've stopped her because that is his car and when she asked if she could race he told her no, but she still did it any ways. If the boyfriend really cared about the safety of his girlfriend he would've stopped her.
A2: In the future if the defendant were to get in trouble with the law he would be in serious trouble with the law. This could possibly affect his future going into college because it might be in his background.

1. I don’t think this was the defendants first time racing because she seemed to know a lot about the car she was driving and racing in general . I think she lied about describing a car meet because she wanted to show she had little information about car meets and cars in general to prove this was her first time racing. I think the boyfriend did have something to do with her racing but I don’t believe he is a bad influence because the defendant stated in the end it was her decision to race.
2. I believe his reaction to things can certainly affect him and his parents , wheb in the future they are confronted by police. Their additide and responses could land them in huge trouble with the police if they don’t learn to control their emotions and think rationally.

No I don’t believe this was her first car meet since she knew that’s where one was taking place and she lied probably because she didn’t want to show intent to racing and her boyfriend isn’t a bad influence maybe not thinking straight and wanting his girlfriend to look cool.
His attitude will get him trouble when certain situations don’t call for being aggressive or loud even defensive if they are saying or letting you go just quietly say thank you walk away but the parents will face harsher consequences in the future

1. I believe it wasn’t her first time racing because she always goes to the car meets with her boyfriend. I feel like she lied to protect her boyfriend. He boyfriend is a bad influence on her since he let her race and takes her to the car meets.
2. His attitude is the first thing everyone notices and if he doesn’t respond correctly it could go bad for him.

Q1. I don't believe it was her first time racing because her boyfriend seemed that he had gone to a bunch of them before.
Q2. Fighting should be avoided, but under the circumstances he should be more careful on his actions in the future.

Q1: The defendant obviously lied. Her story wasn’t very convincing nor was it consistent. She knew what she was doing when she was saying stuff about a car meet. She’s probably driven more than 3 times that’s for sure. The two, her and her boyfriend, are bad influences on each other. If I was in her shoes I would race for fun when I am aware of the safety of me and others around me.
Q2: The second case the defendant was calm and collected but I don’t like how the parents interfered because they were messing up the flow of the conversation. They obviously haven’t been into a court room if they were acting like it was a debate. Although the parents did not mess up the defendants chances of being guilty they can mess it up for him in the future.

A1: I believe that the defendant was racing for the first time, but I also believe that her boyfriend is the one who usually races and she attends to those races. She lied about the car meets because I don't think that people would have car meets in a dead end near a school. Her boyfriend is a bad influence to her because he didn't stop the race and he also gave her his car to race.

A2:The defendant that was found innocent had a attitude problem because he was reacting bad towards his own parents. This kind of attitude is going to affect his future because he can't understand that he did something wrong. The defendant needs to learn how every action has consequences.

1. I don’t believe it was the defendant’s first time racing, she probably lied about what car meets are to try to protect herself, yes her boyfriend is a bad influence because he should’ve known the danges.
2. Their attitudes can affect them in the future but making them seem not believeabe, the way he reacts can also affect him because he might not think before he acts and can get in trouble

The defendant is guilty and I know it wasn't her first time racing that's for sure it was her and only her that was the influence that she insisted herself that she wanted to do it.

In the second case I also believe that the defendant was not guilty but if he can not control his impulses I. The future, he will get in trouble.

I believe this was not the first time the defendant had race.She lied about knowing what a car meet is because to cover up. her boyfriend was not a bad influence because she wanted to drive the car.In the second case the defendant parents were a little agressive toward the judge which can reflect on the defendant's action toward other adults

i don’t think it’s her firs time racing because she knows a lot abouther boyfriends car.I think her boyfriend is a bad influence because he didn’t stop her from racing.
I. I think she lied about the car meet so she can look innocent
i think his attitude can maybe put him in jail because he started punching someone that didn’t punch him. He may need to control his anger

Q1- I believe that it wasn’t her first time racing because she didn’t hesitant to race when they asked her to. I think the car shows weren’t just showing off the car I think it was also races as well.
Q2- I think that if they continue to be disrespectful to cops they can and will get in more trouble. They were also being very protective over themselves because they were being hectic as they son was getting interrogated.

The girl is guilty because she admitted to it . she lied about to cover up her boyfriend.yes the from what she stated it sounded like the boyfriend told her to do it and she did
Q2 the defendent was not guilty but the dad doing what he did and hiw be acted was very inappropriate and he should be more curtious to the judge to get better treatment

Q1: I do believe that this was the defendant's first time racing. She seemed awfully experienced with the car for just driving it 2 times. Furthermore, she knew what exact location to race in. By lying to the jury about what a car meet really is I felt that she was trying to help herself with a lesser punishment. Lastly, I feel as if the defendant pressured the boyfriend to allow her to use his car. Though the significant other's choice to let her race was not a great decision.

Q2: In the courtroom the father seemed aggravated. Although the defendant did seem to be nonchalant about being in court the whole situation could have been avoided if the parents addressed the police officer in a more polite way. Also, in the future the father's short tempered manner may rub off on the defendant cause him to approach things negatively if in a situation similar the one stated in court.

Q1: No, I do not think it was the first time the defendant had raced. I think she lied about not knowing what a car meet is so she can look innocent in front of her parents and the jury. Her boyfriend was a bad influence on her because he should've stopped her because it's breaking the law, she can hurt herself along with other people, and it can get put on her permanent record so it doesn't look good for college or a job.

Q2: Your attitude is how people see you and if people see that you have a bad attitude it will affect how they see you as a person. He needs to learn to control his emotions in situations, be calm, and grateful he was not found guilty.
