Later on in the novel, Steve Harmon takes the witness stand to testify and the prosecuting attorney, Sandra Petrocelli, asks him several questions regarding his involvement in the robbery and murder of Aguinaldo Nesbitt. When Petrocelli asks if Steve was in the drugstore the day of the robbery, Steve testifies that he was not. Petrocelli then asks Steve where he was at on the day of the robbery if he wasn’t in the store. Steve says that he doesn’t know exactly where he was at while the robbery was happening, but he does remember walking around his neighborhood taking mental notes of places he’d like to film for an upcoming school project. Steve also mentions that he was planning on doing a film about his neighborhood over the holidays. The jury ends up believing Steve’s alibi because he has a reputation as a good student who enjoys making films in his high school.
