Court News Essays - The Flight Of Pony Baker,

Court News The following is a transcript of the recent hearing of the Curtis brothers. RANDY L: Randy were you there the night of Bobs death? R: Yes your honor. L: What happened that night and how did it happen? R: Well it all started when we all saw the two Greasers (Pony and Johnny) in the park. We were completely drunk and had no idea what we were doing so I guess we all just wanted to beat the two of them up, no really big reason it is just that the we hate the Greasers and the Greasers hate us. So we got out of the car and started to gang beat pony, when I think of it now it is kind of harsh, we mostly just tried to drown him but we ended up not harming either one of them that much it was Bob that was going to pay the consequence. I turned around and there was my best friend Bob laying there, choking over blood and dieing right before my eyes. I had no idea what to do so I ran. L: Thank you Randy you my go sit back down now I would like to call Sherri Vallance to the stand please. Cherry Vallance L: So how much of the murder do you know about? S:Well awile ago I had gone to the Drive In Movies. Bob and Randy had been drinking lots that night so we decided to leave them there alone. We met Pony boy and Johnny, we had stayed with them most of the night. Bob and Randy saw Marsha and I with them and I guess they got a little jelous, and they looked very mad at pony and Johnny.
