Feburary 20172/3/2017 Q1: Why do you suppose the defendants did what their peer, Christian, had told them to do when they claimed they didn't look up to him?
Q2: The defendants stated different reasons as to why they committed the crime such as it being a joke, because the victim wasn't putting enough "effort" into their sport and for "culture". What do you believe to be the real intent of the crime? Q3: Throughout the cases both Joshua and Matthew gave very simple and vague answers, yes and no. While Carlos kept trying to justify his actions using "culture". Do you feel the responses of each of the defendants was affected by each other's answers? Why or why not? Q4: How do you feel about the parent's attitude towards the incident? Do you think their punishments were fair in this situation or too lenient? Why or why not?

Q1 I think that the defendants did that to their peer because they all had something against the victim/the victim was seen as an easy target.

Q.1: I feel the defendants did what their peer told them to do because they did look up to that person since they were just on JV and Christian on the other hand was on varsity so they wanted to be cool with the older guys.

Q1: Most likely, they had no reason not to harass the victim. Whether or not they looked up to Soto, they imagined it to be a funny joke and took the idea. So it became, "Oh that sounds funny, sure we can do that."

Q1. The defendants claimed that at first they did look up to him because he was a good football player and they wanted to be like him. However, after the incident, they lost their respect for him and I am not sure that this was because they got caught or because they felt that their actions were immorally incorrect. However, even though they respected Christian, they could have just not done what he wanted them too, which shows that they wanted to do it too.

1. The defendants did what their peer Christian had told them to do because they felt like they would fit in and did not think they would be punished since "jokes" like these are done often among the football team.

Q1: The defendants did what Christian told them to do because they felt that this was pay back towards the victim for always being "Lazy" in football practice. Q2: I think the real intent was that it was pay back for not always puting enough "effort" in practice. They all felt the same way at one point were they agreed that we was the "weak link" that didn't give 110% into practice. Q3: Each response that was given did seem to effect the others answers. They started off by all agreeing in the beginning but slowly started to defend themselves. After there opinions drifted there answers became simple. Q4: I felt that only two of the parents were concerned about the incident and the others didn't mind it to much. In this incident I felt that Carlos and Mathew had more of a harsher punishment than Joshua and Adrian. It should have been switched the other way around. Joshua and Adrian did so much more then Carlos and Mathew.

1. The defendants did sort of look up to Christian or at least somewhat agreed with his dislike of the victim, even if they did not know him well. It is easy to go along with that sort of dislike of someone, but it should never get that far.

1) I believe Christian may be or have been on a popular high school status, so the defendants did not think to oppose the ideas Christian had inititated but not take part on.

Q1: The defendants mostly likely did what Christian had told them to do because they felt he was an authority figure. Even though the claimed they didn't look up to him, they probably saw him as a "cool" friend or someone they wanted to please.

From the way the defendants spoke about Christian, it seems as if they listened to him and did what he told them because they want to impress him. The same excuse was used multiple times that it was just meant to be a joke and it was apart if football culture. I don't believe this is true and was just used as an excuse. I believe the parents were a little too lineant.

1.I think the defendants followed Christian because they were on the jv team and he was a better player and although they did not look up to him, they followed his instructions because his bad-natured ideas could be towards them next time.

Q1: In my opinion I believe the defendants did look up to Christian because he was the best player on the JV team and also becaue he was older. If the defendants didn't look up to Christian they would have done the offense.
