The major characters are 16 year old boy Steve Harmon and James king are on trial for a felony murder for the clerk at the drugstore. Richard "Bobo" Evans is a major character too because he stole cigarettes from the drugstore and gets a lesser charge to go to jail for ten to fifteen years. The setting takes place in the courtroom where there is a trial that deals with robbery and murder. The conflict is man vs. society because Steve Harmon is an accomplice to a felony murder that happen at a drugstore that he did not commit. he is sitting in the courtroom terrified, waiting for the jurors to decide if he is guilty or not. The defense attorney for Steve Harmon is Mrs. O'Brien. The other defense attorney for James King is Mrs. Briggs. Steve Harmon stays in a detention center for everyday until the trial ends. Why doesn't the book say where James King stays during the trial? What made Steve Harmon go along with a plan from James King and Richard Evans by stealing cigarettes, shooting a man when he didn't even do anything and stealing money from the cash register? I think Steve Harmon should have thought those things through when he had the chance.
