Hey yall,

I'm almost finished with my associates degree in criminal justice, and I am supposed to read this stupid fucking book and relate my feelings to it. [GR] The book is called Monster by Dean Walter Myers. Well, the problem is I read this book in middle school and I don't want to re-read it. Has anyone read this book and if so can you please provide information?! I've done quit a bit of Google research but it doesn't really confirm whether the courts found him guilty or not guilty. [Geezuz, I'm glad that this is my last class]

Much appreciated!! :)

Wow, during your 2 years learning about criminal justice they never showed you how to look up public court records for specific cases? What the fuck were you learning?

Actually, I am fully aware of how to look up court cases. Thank you very fucking much. I am not studying juvenile court procedures, I am merely obtaining a degree to become a police officer; therefore, my studies are not pertaining to "court cases".
 
Sixteen year old Steve Harmon stands accused of assisting in the murder of a store owner. The novel revolves around the question of whether Steve was part of the gang which held up the store or whether he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Using the screenplay format, the reader gains great insight into not only Steve's reaction to the prosecutor's portrayal of him as a "monster" but also to what it is like to be held in jail.
At the end of the novel, Steve is acquitted of the charges, but there are still suspicions that he is guilty.

Found it in about 10 seconds on Wikipedia...
 
In Google type "Monster cliff notes" and you'll get some summaries...you may have to pay like 5 bucks for the good ones, but its better than reading the whole book...

yeah, I just did that. Thank you! :)
 
Google's too full of crap nowadays, unless you know how to use conditional modifiers ("",+,:, etc)and all that crap in your searches, you're not actually going to find much that's useful anymore.

I blame the over SEOification of the intermawebs

Also, it has SFA to do with what you're reading, but check out the graphic novel series of the same name, by Eiichiro Oda. Similar concept of "the wrong man", but much more exciting and fun to read. Came out about 5 years beforehand too.
