**Pages -136. Each juror must answer one of the following questions. Put your name next to the question so that you can receive credit.**

1. What were both Briggs and O'Brien hoping to accomplish with their cross-examinations of Osvaldo Cruz? Do you think they succeeded? Why or why not? Kalinda- During Briggs and O'Brien's cross-examinations the things they were trying to accomplish was trying to get Osvaldo Cruz to admit the truth. They knew that he was lying when he said that he wasn't in a gang called the Diablos. Also O'Brien was asking questions like, "so you weren't afraid of fighting a member of the Diablos, you weren't afraid of cutting a stranger in the face, you weren't afraid of beating up your girlfriend, but you were afraid of Bobo?" I think they both succeeded because they got Osvaldo Cruz to admit the truth and that he was lying.

Drew- briggs and obrien were both trying to prove to everyone that osvaldo is lying about almost everything that hes saying. they did succeed because they caught him twice lieing about something, like when he said he was not in a gang and then he said he was. he also probably lied about being scared of bobo.

Briggs and O'Brien were hoping that they would make Osvaldo Cruz look bad when they were doing the cross-examination. They did succeed because they got him to lie about no being in a gang and they he said how he said it by mistake and they made him look like a bad person when he said that they got him because his girlfriend called the cops on him for beating her up and they asked him how he got in the gang and he said he had to beat a gang member up and cut a random person in the face and it made him look like he wouldn't be afraid of bobo.-maribel
