Q1: Do you believe the defendant was really peer pressured into committing petty theft why or why not? 

Q2: Do you believe this was the first time she has stolen? Do you believe her drug use played a factor into her stealing? Why or Why not?

1.) I don’t think so she knows how this girl acted and she’s been pressured by her before and she wanted to do it so she could stay friends.
2.) This probably was the first time she’s stolen and her drug use doesn’t play a part in it she hadn’t used drugs in a while.

Q1: No, the defendant seemed to have a stable mind set and could have easily prevented herself from stealing those items.
Q2: I think it was her first time stealing since she didn’t have a track record of any crime and I don’t believe her drug use played a role in this act she committed.

Yes I do believe that she was peer pressured into stealing because it seems that her friend peer pressured her a lot such as the time she was peer pressured to do drugs.
I do believe it was her first time stealing she said that she stole because her friend told her too and she wanted fit in with her friends. I do not believe drugs played a factor because when she stole she was not under the influence of any sort of drugs.

The defendant seemed like petty theft was out of the ordinary for her, I believe that she has the will to not to it again.
I could believe it was her first theft, for she didn't even know the process of how she would get away with it

Q.1 I really do believe she was peer pressured due to the fact that she has had problems in the past with the same girl
Q.1 I don’t believe that this was her first time stealing cause I’m pretty sure she admitted that it wasn’t her first time. I also believe that the drug use was a factor

No i do not believe the defendant was peer pressured, she had her mother's credit card and lied that she DID NOT have NO MONEY on her when she clearly did.

No i do not think it was her first time stealing i believe she has done this many times. I do not believe drugs make her steal but i do believe she is easily attracted to attention if that makes sense.

No i do not believe the teen was peer pressed into committing this action because she did have her mother's credit card and she did lie saying she had no money when clearly she did.

No i do not believe its her first time i believe she has done this a few times. I mean to do something in 20 mins and less and not be there longer then i do not believe its her first time. I also do not believe drugs were a reason for her actions.

1)Yes, I do believe the defendant was peer pressured into committing petty theft because she wanted to fit in.2) Yes, I do believe that was her first time stealing because she just wanted to fit in with her friends. I don’t believe her drug use was a factor in her stealing makeup because she just wanted friends.

Q.1 No, because the defendant could have easily told her friend no and would have prevented from stealing the items
Q.2 No I believe that the drugs could have been a part of this incident

I don’t believe it was her first time stealing nor do I believe she was peer pressured. I know she wasn’t completely punished as she said she was because I do have her on social Media and she seemed to enjoy her spring break. I think the people she hangs around plays a factor to bad decisions but she has to stand up for her actions.

Q1- yes I do believe the defendant was peer pressured into stealing because she wanted her “friend” to think of her as cool.
Q2- I do believe it was her first time stealing because she stole just to fit in. I don’t think her drug use was a factor because at the time she wasn’t on drugs.
