The Long Paragraphs

Steve Harmon and James King both grew up in Harlem. Recently  Steve, King, and Bobo robbed a drugstore owned by Aguinaldo Nesbitt who died in the robbery. Aguinaldo was a well respected man in the community. He did many things for his area and even sponsored a little league team. He was also an immigrant from St. Kitts.
 
In Bobo’s testimony Petrocelli asked him about what his and everybody elses role in the crime was. She also asked him if he had ever been in prison before. He had for many other things like breaking and entering, grand theft auto, and taking a car radio. She asked if Bobo could identify the man who was to give them signals from inside the drugstore. 

Bobo says that he and King went out to eat fried chicken after they finished the robbery. Bobo’s testimony has had a huge effect on the case overall. In his testimony he stated that he never talked to Steve Harmon before or after the crime. Steve was inside the store, but Bobo did not know what the signal was supposed to be, nor did he see Steve’s signal. Bobo stated “that it was King’s deal,” and he followed King into the store.Bobo stated “that after they robbed the store, Bobo and King took the money and went to a chicken joint and got some chicken, wedgies, and sodas.” Steve Harmon did not receive a share of the money. Bobo didn’t appear entirely sure if Harmon was supposed to get any money at all. After Bobo’s testimony, the jury may be looking at if Harmon was actually included in the crime.
