Megan asks all the boys who were at Jack’s house whether they saw the money in Evan’s pocket, whether they saw Scott take the money, and whether they have ever seen Scott with the money. They all respond to all three questions with “no.” Next, Megan asks Scott to take the stand. Scott doesn’t want to, but David insists that he has to. Jessie thinks that this isn’t true but doesn’t say anything. Megan asks Scott whether he bought the Xbox with his own money, forcing him to admit that his parents bought it for him.

Both sides close their argument. Jessie restates that Evan’s money was in his shorts and that it was gone after Scott had been in the room. Megan counters this by reminding the jury that there is no proof. Jessie feels sick with anxiety; Evan looks furious and stressed. The jury finds Scott not guilty, although there is a discernible feeling among the class that he is, in fact, guilty. Angrily, Evan challenges Scott to a basketball game.

The class (apart from those parents who pick them up) goes to the basketball court to watch the game. Evan suggests a no-fouls rule and begins to play savagely.
