1. The case being presented seemed very practiced. Even though she said that she regrets everything, in that moment she didn't think about the consequences. Even though she didn't do anything violent, she did not remain neutral and got involved with the situation. She said she wanted to be the peacemaker but she could've helped in a different way.

2. The uncle of course was very defensive because he believed she was innocent. She was still guilty by association so they probably did not understand that at first. The uncle believing that she wasn't guilty, made the defendant believe she wasn't guilty.

Q1: I believe the defendant was being honest because she realized what she did wrong so the only thing to do was tell the truth

Q2: I believe that the uncles attitude did have an affect on the defendants attitude because the uncle maybe seemed a bit intimidating.

1. I don’t think she was being truthful. She just seemed to be answering the parts she wanted and then when she didn’t want to answer she would start saying “I don’t know”.
2. The Uncle being their was what probably stopped her from telling the whole story because she probably thought that she would get in more trouble with her Uncle.

The defendant was most likely not completely honest throughout the case. She did not seem to be putting much thought into her answers. The uncle did not seem to take the case as seriously as he should’ve so this might have had an impact on the defendant as well.

I don’t think the defendant was being honest throughout the case bc her story kept switching up & it seemed like she was trying rlly hard to sound like she was genuine.

I think the uncles attitude affected the defendants attitude because she seemed scared of him & like he was really scared of him.

Yes the defendant was being completely honest throughout the case. She did not stay quiet or stutter at all. She did lie about somethings that were small not huge.
I do not think the uncle’s attitude towards the situation affect the defendants attitude in any way because it doesn’t have nothing to do with him and his attitude. We control our own attitude and actions but no one else.

I think the questions that were givin to her were to simple for her to give us an easy answer and I also think the uncle was putting stuff in the defendants head which made her questioning different.

Q1) I do not believe the defendant was being completely honest throughout the case. I do not believe she was being honest because she seemed to be inconsistent with her responses. An example is when she said if she knew her friend had a gun she wouldn't have gone but she snuck out to eat with that same friend.
Q2) I believe her uncle's attitude did influence the defendants attitude. The uncle began to grow upset and he seemed frustrated and began to express his dissatisfaction. After this, the defendant began to respond in a frustrated manner.

1) I don’t think she was being quite honestly throughout the case. I do believe she knew what she was getting into by going to the house with her friends. She could’ve been more supportive in other ways, but chose to go with her friends.
2) I feel like he scared her and made her feel worse about the situation than she would’ve if no one ever found out.

(1) I believe the defendant was not being completely honest throughout the case because she kept stating that she was just trying to help and was not looking for a fight but if that were really the case she would not have gone with her friends to confront the person
(2)the uncle’s attitude towards the situation affected the defendant because after he stated that the questions were repetitive she would only give a short answer

Q1; I dont believe that the defendent was beign honest thorughout the trial. She not only seemed a little off but she changed her story many times.
Q2: The uncle seemed to belive that his niece had done nothing wrong. This aditude also affects the defendent because she belives that she can do no wrong making her hard to question.

1. I believe she was being totally honest through the case. I believe this because she said that she needs to be home and check in with her grandma and she did.
2. No I don’t think the uncles attitude affected the defendants attitude at all. He was being like a smart ass but she was still answering questions and not being any different then before.

No because she said she was there to make peace but yet she already knew what was gonna happen No the uncle's attitude didn't affect the defendant's attitude because she took it serious and the uncle took it as a joke

Q1: I feel that the defendant wasn’t being completely honest because she kept mixing up her story in how they ended up at the house where they went to go fight, and she was saying that she was standing in the corner waiting, and that she was in the car waiting

Q2: No because I feel that defendant was trying to prove her innocence and he way that the uncle reacted was just the way he thought of the questions coming at her niece

I don’t believe the defendant was being honest theoughout the whole case. I think she pirtrayed herself to be innocent and trying to help others in her situation, but that wasn't the case. She constantly repeated herself, and her logic didn't make sense.

I dont believe her uncle’s attitude affected her. He didn’t say much and his attitude seemed ‘ticked off’ which is understanding. I believe they talked about this situation previously, so that got it out of the way.

Isabel Parada P5

10/26/2018 01:27:28 pm

I believe she protrayed herself more than she actually is in terms of innocentence. She seemed to put an act, where she is absolutely pure and i don’t believe that because she kept on claiming she was there for support and wanted to be a good friend but if she was trying to be a good friend she could’ve just told them not to do what they did.

I believe the uncles attitude towards the situations shows that he cares about her and wants the best for her although it probably did affect the defendants attuide by how he was rude and cause confusion.

Q1: I feel like she contradicts herself throughout the whole case by saying one thing but doesn’t match up to another.
Q2: Well I think it was more a defense act other then something to help her rebel in her attitude.

I do not believe the defendant was being completely honest because she kept say that she was there to make peace and knew how her friends were but she didn’t do anything to make peace.
I do believe the uncle’s attitude affected the defendants attitude because he was angry at the situation so she was a little sad that he was disappointed.

1. I think she was because she explained everything exactly as it was on her case file.

2. Yes I believe the uncles attitude affected the defendants attitude towards the situation because he was angry due to the fact that she was accused of accomplice and he believed that it wasn’t her fault.

Q1- i believe that the defendant wasn’t being 100% honest throughout the case because when it came to certain questions she couldn’t answer fully or she would be hesitant about her response or saying she was just trying to be a good friend by being “supportive “ throughout the situation when at the same time being a good friend would not be agreeing to something that would lead to trouble .

Q2- The attitude of the uncle did affect the defendants attitude aswell because it showed that if the uncle was careless she tended to be the same about the situation .

Isaac Noguera P:5

I believe that the defendant was being honest throughout the case, she’s not a bad person, she was just with the wrong people.

I think the uncle’s attitude towards the situation didn’t affect the defendants attitude because the defendant was serious about this and the uncle treated it almost like a joke.

Danna Sanchez p.5

10/26/2018 01:36:35 pm

I believe she was was being 50% honest because she said she knew there was gonna be violence at the beginning but then later on when she was asked she said that she did not know there was gonna be violence.
Yes because her uncle was being a bit ride and sounded kind of annoyed.

I believe that the defendant was being honest but repeated many things verbally because they did not want the full truth to make them look bad.

I don’t think the uncles attitude affected the defendants attitude because the uncle grew the attitude for an extremely small reason and for a very short time. The defendants is independent and all she wants is to come out there without a punishment so that’s why she has to cooperate with the court.

Q1: I do believe the defendant was being honest but she was trying to make herself seem like she is the innocent, supportive, and caring friend in the matter.

David Bucio P.5

Q2: I do think the uncle's attitude towards the situation made an impact on the defendant as a sign saying the court is gullible and this made the defendants attitude more cocky.

1. No, i believe the defendant was not being honest. In the beginning she was attempting to sound better than she was with the strategy to make a good impression on the jury.
2. No, I don’t believe the uncle’s attitude affected the defendants attitude. He was defensive but she never adds on to it.

Ariana Campos

Q:1- I don’t believe that she was being completely honest throughout the cause because she seemed to always be justifying herself. She wanted to make her friends look bad, and herself look like the victim in the situation. She wanted to look good to the judge and make it seem like she did nothing wrong in the situation

Q:2- I don’t think the uncles attitude towards the situation affected the defendants attitude in any way because she didn’t seem to be acknowledging him when he would make a comment. She didn’t piggyback off of things he would say, she would just stick to her story and stick with what she said, not her uncle.

Julianna Vallin

11/2/2018 10:17:41 am

1.)I believe that the defendant was not completely honest throughout the case because some of the things she said weren't adding up.

2.) Yes, because if the uncle is lenient with her she is going to keep on sneaking out and doing things she isn't supposed to and if he is a little more strict to her I think she would focus more on her studies because she is on the right track to college.

Yuliana Chavez

11/2/2018 12:12:31 pm

I believe the defendent was not completely honest during the case because she was referring to her friends in a bad manner to seem like she was better.
I believe the uncle's attitude did affect the defendent because he was supporting her by questioning Teen Court's questions and she followed along.

Itzel Hernandez

Q1: The defendant did an authentic impression. However she did seem to get a bit confused on the questions asked by the jury. In addition, with her composure she seemed to portay an honest figure.
Q2: The uncle gave out a negative impression towards the jury. I believe that the defendant attitude towards the jury did change a bit but not drastically. The defendant still tried to keep her composure but the uncle’s attitude did change the defendants attitude a bit.

1. I do not believe was being completely honest because she could not come up with a specific reason as to why she went with her friends to the scene where her friend pulled out a “gun.”

2. I do believe the Uncle’s attitude affected the defendant’s attitude because when he made the comment about the jury repeating a question, it seemed as if he was taking the case as a joke and the defendant saw that and it influenced her to believe that it was and she began to act very innocent.

Ruben

Q1: I dont think the defendant was being fully honest throughout the case because she changed a few parts of the story she seemed to change it up a bit or get a bit stuck.

Q2: Although the uncle seemed a bit hostile in some situations like when he got mad over the fact that similar questions were being asked. Ultimately I don't think the uncles attitude really affected her

Kristen Peralta

I believe the defendant was being honest but not intentionally because at first she would say something then later she’ll reverse what she said in the pass and would reveal other information.
The uncles attitude towards the issue did affect the defendants attitude because she wanted to stay calm and “be humble” in front of the uncle, but she eventually became a bit anxious.

Jamie Benitez

1. I do believe the defendant was being honest throughout the case but at the same time, she would avoid the situation and keep going back and making herself look innocent. She would keep mentioning the fact that she tried talking the situation out but it did not work.

2. I do believe the uncle's attitude toward the situation affected the defendants attitude in a way that he was protecting and defending her and because of that, she had an attitude of proving she was innocent and she just had good intentions. She did not realize she was guilty for even sneaking out and participating in the incident.

No, I don't think that the defendant was telling the truth when telling her side of the story. The defendant was missing parts of her story and back tracking the story.

Yes, the uncle was affected toward this situation but showed like he really didn't care about it.

Diego Adame

1. I don't believe the defendant was being completely honest through out the trial because he changed his original statement.
2. I do believe the uncle's lack of not sowing the defendant attention affected the defendants attitude.

Q1:I think the defendant was completely honest up to certain point during the teen court and defendant would have left out specif detail that defendant wouldn't want to mentioned
Q2:I do think the uncle attitude towards the situation really did affected the defendant attiude because the defendant attiuted change.

Q.1 Yes her stories were some what accurate to the statement but she had a little attitude towards the jury, and how they asked her questions
Q.2 No I don't believe it really did because she a young women and she decides how she wants to respond and respect one another

Cristina Martinez

q1- She was being truthful but she did give attitude towards the jury.
q2- No i don't beileve his attitude affected the deFandant in any way

Adam Lizarraga

12/10/2018 11:59:28 pm

Q1- No I don’t believe the defendant was being truthful because she would smirk and laugh whenever someone would ask her a question.

Q2- Yes I believe the defendants uncle was too easy on her and by that she thinks she can do whatever she wants, because she doesn’t get an consequences.

Eric Parra

12/11/2018 12:57:13 pm

1. I believe she was being honest because her story was not different from the case, and she always had an answer, she never hesitated or had to think about her answers. She was always straight forward and focused into the case.

2. I do not believe the uncles attitude affected the defendant in anyway only because she would never look at him and he did not seem to be affecting her in anyway I thought.

Adolfo Fierros

12/11/2018 01:06:27 pm

1. Yes I do believe she was being honest because she did seem to have good intention in the situation.
2. Yes because you can’t tell she was very spoiled and he held her to a higher standards than others.

Andre Narvaez

I do feel that the defendant was being pretty honest throughout the case. She seemed very intelligent and the type to not go to start problems. She had said she was there for the support of her best friend. Now although I still don’t think she was very smart for going in the first place she shouldn’t have been guilty. She was simply at the corner of the block until she got in the car to go pick her friends up but they ran into trouble with the owner of the house so she stepped out simply trying to calm the situation.

Q2-The uncles attitude towards the situation probably did not have much of an impact on the defendants attitude towards the case . She seems pretty disappointed that she was found guilty at the end. She simply went there for the support of her friend but ended up actually getting in trouble for it. Her uncle seemed pretty disappointed too but either way she has her own thoughts and emotions without him.

1. I do think she was being completely honest because she was answering all the questions thoroughly and regretted everything that happened that day.

2. No I don’t think her attitude changed while her uncle was their because she stated everything but she did feel sad for making him go through this.

Steve Aispuro

12/13/2018 12:23:06 pm

The defendant was most likely not completely honest throughout the case. She just wanted to get it over with. The uncle did not seem to take the case as seriously as he should’ve so this might have had an impact on how the defendant grew up as a kid.

Bianca Aispuro

2/5/2019 10:21:03 pm

I don't believe the defendant was being completely truthful because although she said that she regretted what she had done and knew it was wrong she still did what she did. She also avoided answering a lot of questions that would make her look bad or answered with “I don't know” which was probably truthful.

The uncle was very defensive when it came to his nieve, he believed that she was innocent and could do no wrong. This in turn made the defendant believe that she was innocent and made her even less comparative to answer questions and be truthful.

Andres Arzate

Q1: I do not believe the defendant was being completely honest throughout the session because it seemed like she had rehearsed what she was going to say. She avoided some questions by not explaining them fully and seemed to be hiding things.

Q2: I believe that the uncle's attitude definitely affected how the defendant viewed the case because he seemed to think she was innocent and that this was a waste of time. The defendant reflected this by also believing she would be found innocent and having a plan of what to say.
