Why is Steve innocent in the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers?

yes he is.

===========================================================

*actually he isn't* *may contain spoiler*

reason why?

he was proving to be innocent

at the end and when Steve harman was cheerful and hug O'Brian

she didn't hug him back?

why?

why u may ask?

do you remember when O'Brian was testing Steve about the cup

first she told him if he ever went to the store

Steve Harmon said yes

but in the court

he said no he didn't

sounds strange right?

*proof*

in his dairy remember he said he went to the store to buy *mints*

(Which tells us that he lied*

also

knowing that he had lied

but even if he went to the store and went outside

wouldn't he recognize the crime that's happening in the store?

he could of save the person inside

but instead

he left and kept on going

cause remember

King and his buddy went in when Steve Harmon left

that would mean the crime has startled and Steve could of save them

also i forgot what they called but they have a image of him of his face

that looks like a monster

Soo yes Steve Harmon trick you all in believing that he was innocent =w=
