Q1: Did you believe that the defendant took the case seriously? Was there anything the defendant said that did not seem truthful?

Q2: Typically when someone steals something they try to hide it in a bag or under their clothes. However, the defendant said she simply walked out with the items in her hands. Is it possible she was on drugs and did not think of hiding the items?

1. I believe that defendant was not telling the truth. It seemed that her mom was trying to answer her questions for her daughter. The defendant also seemed to be taking all the blame to defend her girlfriend.
2. The defendant may have been on drugs when committing this act. She did mention taking xanax before. The defendant may have also just taken the clothes without hiding them thinking that she won't be seen and to just look natural.

1. I don't think the defendant was taking the case seriously she would hesitate a lot when asking the questions and she also seemed very nervous. I believe she did lie a lot of the time about drugs.

2. I think it's so strange how she just walked out with the items in her hands. She did say she would smoke after school so most likely she was under the influence

Q1 - I feel as if the defendant did take the case seriously. She answered all the questions apart from one she said was personal. I do believe she may have lied about not doing drugs since how many times she left school without telling her mother.
Q2 - I think the defendant could have possibly been on drugs when she left the store with the items in her hands. I don't think that when a person is trying to steal something from a store they will simply just walk out with it.

Q1: I do not believe that the defendayt took the case seriously becasue everytime the judge or the jurors asked a question she would not look directly at them as avoiding contact. The thing that the defendant said that did not sem truthful was how she said she did not do drugs she described the experience as awful but then it dindt sound convincing.

Q2: yes there coulld be a possibility that she was on drugs whne she stole becasue one if a peson has the intention to steal they obviously don't want to get caught. She was probably on some type of drug in order for her to walk out with the items in her arms. The drugs could have been affecting her thought process. When a person is on some sort of substance they are not thinking clearly.

1:
I do think she took the case seriously. She was very cooperative with answering the questions although she didn't answer one personal question she did answer all the other ones. There is a chance of her lying about doing drugs considering she did not tell her mother she was leaving school.
2:
There is a possibility of her being under the influence of something. It is unusual that she did not even think of hiding the stolen objects.

1.I do not think she took this case seriously even though she was very honest and admitted to everything and more kinda of put herself in a whole she continued to not make eye contact with the attorney and judge when questioned.
2.she admitted to be being under the influence and there are probably problems with peer pressure

Q1: I am convinced that the defendant did not take the case seriously. In the courtroom the defendant seemed to have answered all questions without hesitation but was a bit questionable in the question she categorized as "personal". The response given by the defendant on the use of drugs seemed to be a lie because of how often she would disappear without the knowledge of the mother

Q2: I am confident that the defendant could have been under the influence of drugs. In previous cases most defendants have admitted to having a scheme before entering the retail store. I do not believe that this planned and that influence of drugs may have pushed to do the deed right away. Furthermore, the drugs may have immobilized the defendant from thinking logically. In conclusion making her take the clothes right in her hands.

Q1: I don’t think the defendant was taking this seriously because she avoided answering some questions and tried to make herself look better. The defendant said she stopped ditching school when she went to the continuation school but her attendance record was very bad so I don’t think she was being truthful.

Q2: I don’t think she was on drugs when she took the clothes. I think she was just being bold and trying to show off for her girlfriend.

1.) It believed to seem that the defendant seemed really confident. Although it did seem that some answers seemed hesitant and untruthful. Some questions could have been addressed more specifically and they could have asked for a clearer answer.
2.) The defendant just walked out of the store with the items in her hand made it seem like she was very confident that she was going to get away with it. I believe she wanted to prove to her girlfriend that she was tough and was going to go through with it .

It did not seem as if the defendant took the case seriously. It seemed to me that she was just saying what everyone wanted to hear. I do not believe she was truthful with all her statements.

1) The defendant did not seem to serious at first about the case. With each answer she gave she laughed excessively. Even though it might've been. am nervous tick, she rolled her eyes serveral times. The defendant didn't seem too truthful about what she has previously done.

2) I believe that she didn't make an effort to hide the items because she believed it was a good strategy to make it look like she bought the belongings. She probably thought that if she made it seem like she had bought the stuff she would get away with it

Q1: I believe the defendant did not take the case seriously because she was often seen smiling. Although I believe she did recognize her wrong doings. I do believe she lied because she would say um often as if she wasn't sure of what she was saying. Her mom did a lot of covering up so I think the defendant bounced off of this.

Q2: It is possible for the defendant to be on drugs while stealing. The reason for this is because she said she was expirmenting with drugs and this could have been one of the moments. I would think it's a person natural instinct to hide the clothes in fear of getting caught but she did the opposite.

I say that the girl wasn’t being truthful of her answers and wasn’t taking the questions of the jury seriously.

Q1: I do think that the defendant took the case seriously but I feel that when she said that it was her first time stealing it was a lie. If it was her first time, she would have been a bit scared to at least put the things in her backpack but she said she just had them in her hand and walked out.
Q2: It is possible that she was on drugs when she walked out of the store with the items in her hand. I do not believe that it was her first time taking that drug she mentioned.

Devine said she was not trying to hide the sweater that she straight up took it and walked out with it.

The defendant wasn’t taking it seriously because she was kinda laughing and smiling. Not that I know of. I don’t think it was possible she was on drugs because she said that she turned herself in to the police after stealing the items.

I do not believe the defendant took the case seriously at first and i believe she lied about ditching school and the drug use and i do believe it is a possibility that she could have been on some drug at the time but to say which one exactly would be a hard guess.

Yes I believe she might be on drugs because the person might have been zoned out and forgot

Q1. I do not believe the defense took it seriously because she did not seem truthful and at time laughed. I didn’t believe that she has never done any other drug besides Xanax.
Q2. I feel she took the items without hiding them because she wanted to prove her dominance and show off to her girlfriend who was with her at the time.

Bryan Garcia

Q1. I believe the defendant was taking it seriously but it seem like sometimes she didn’t know what to say she was between saying the truth or lying
Q2. No she wasn’t on drugs she was just trying to prove a point to her girlfriend that she is capable of doing more.

The defendant did look like she took it seriously because you could of seen how her different reactions toward the discussion we had with her. I believe that the defendant did not really think about what she was doing at the moment or the defendant didn’t care.

Q1. I do believe that the defandent took the case serious in the ways that she anwsered all questions sincerely and respectfully. I think throughout the trial, the girl seemed truthful, it didn’t seemed if she lies or not.
Q2. Even though when someone steals an item or object they try to hide the item. However, in this circumstance she did not seemed to care. However, it does not necessarily mean that she was on some type of drug use but simply she was acting immature.

A1:I think the defendent did not take the court seriously because she was laughing and smiling a lot. I think that she was lie on some of the answers because she would hesitate on the answer and look at her mom.

A2: yes it possible because she probably had no idea she was stealing the items with the drugs she was taking

Q1: I believe the defendant did take the case seriously. The defendant would look over to her mother sometimes, she would think about the question for a couple of seconds then answer, and she would say things but would not answer the question directly.

Q2: It is possible the defendant was on drugs, but she did say she had only used drugs once and did not enjoy the experience or her mothers reaction. I think she could have possibly stole the items so her mother can notice her and pay more attention to her. It seems that she takes care of herself and the defendant and her mother have some problems.

Q1- there was times where she took things seriously and other where she would laugh but that could be that she was nervous
Q2- she could have been on drugs do to the fact that she made it obvious, seemed like she wanted to get caught

Katherine Romero

Q1: I believe the defendant wasn’t taking this serious because there was some questions that she was trying to avoid and at times she would laugh at some questions. One thing that I believe that wasn’t truthful was the fact that she said she hasn’t done drugs ever since her incident the last time she did it.

Q1:2 There could be a chance that she was on drugs because she didn’t really think it through while stealing the items. She didn’t try to hide it and didn’t think of the consequences that would happen.

Q1: Did you believe that the defendant took the case seriously? Was there anything the defendant said that did not seem truthful?
I don’t believe the defendant took the case seriously because of her responses and she appeared to be lying.

Q2: Typically when someone steals something they try to hide it in a bag or under their clothes. However, the defendant said she simply walked out with the items in her hands. Is it possible she was on drugs and did not think of hiding the items?
It’s possible she was on drugs because that shows lack of thinking. It’s also possible that she actually thought her confidence would let her get away with it.

1) I don’t believe she took the case seriously as she thought it was something to brush off. I also don’t think she was telling the truth because she, and her mom especially, tried to give an excuse to anything the defendant had done.
2) I definately believe the possibility of her being under the influence of drugs since she mentioned how she’s tried xanax.

Q1: I believe that the defendant was taking the case seriously. She appeared very involved with the question being asked of her. I don’t believe she attempted to lie, but I do believe her and the mother held back to tell the whole truth.

Q2: I don’t believe that the defendant was under the influence of drugs when the incident took place, I feel that either she truly believed she wasn’t going to get caught or she did it care if she did get caught. She possible could of enjoyed the feeling of stealing or just possibly wanted some attention from her peers or mother.

Q1: The defendant didn't seem to take the case very seriously due to the fact she would laugh after responding. She didn't seem very truthful because her story didn't match up and was constantly changing.
Q2: I don't believe she was on drugs because if the defendant was, then the police would have noticed her symptoms when they took her into the station.

I don’t think the defendant took the case seriously, she kept smiling and laughing the whole time , and her answers were very short .
I kinda believe she might be on drugs because she made it so abvious that she was stealing and had no care in the world .

I do not think the defendant took the case seriously. Most of the time she was giggling and it seemed like she changed her story a few times. She also seemed very uneasy when answering significant questions.

I think it is highly possible that the defendant was on some type of drug while stealing. She admitted to being high several times while stealing. She also said she feels more like herself when high, which is self incriminating.

Question #1: I don’t think she was taking the case very seriously, she seemed like she didn’t want to be there at the hearing. Her story kept on changing multiple times which was pretty odd, I already found her even more guilty by that for sure. I felt that she wanted so bad not to lose her girlfriend or involve her in anyway somehow but yet at times she said she was influenced which was weird.

Question #2: Her not hiding the items she stole was the weirdest part to me because typically when you want to steal something you would want to hide it successfully so you DONT get caught. But the fact that she didn’t, makes me think that she sort of WANTED to maybe get caught to get attention from her mother. I do believe she might’ve been on drugs.

Q2: i dont think that the defendant was under the influence of any drugs. i believe she knew what she was doing

1. I think the defendent was not saying the whole truth because she kept on saying that she was the one who thought about stealing and not her girlfriend.

2. I think she was under the influence of something because she did not think about hiding it and just walk out looking natural and just hope that they do not get caught.

1. No the defendant did not the case seriously. She seemed like she did not care and she was looking to her mother to answer the questions being asked. She seemed like she she was lying about who she hangs out with and how many times she has done drugs.
2. Yes because she did mention using xanax before, she easily could of been on drugs on she stole the items.

1. I do not think she was taking it serious. She seemed careless and was hesitant with her answers. It seemed like she was not telling the truth. Her story would not make sense sometimes.
2. Her not hiding the items was strange and it seemed like she wante to get caught maybe or was just trying to impress her girlfriend.
