Trustworthy or Untrustworthy??

Richard “Bobo” Evans is not trustworthy. In the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers, Bobo is testifying against his supposed fellow robber and look out. During his testimony Bobo says Steve, the supposed look out, was suppose to give them the all clear signal, “He was supposed to tell us if there was anybody in the drugstore. He didn’t say nothing so we figured it was all right” (182). Early in the trial Bobo said “I was arrested for breaking and entering, grand theft auto and one time for taking a car radio, and one time for fighting a guy that died” (176). Bobo is known for being a criminal and by testifying he gets a plea bargain so he can get out of jail quicker, therefore he could be lying the whole time. Bobo Evans is a criminal and therefore cannot be trusted.
