Fact Sheet:

Video game playing  - Mock Trial image credit Boston Globe - Barbara Meitz
Pop and Benz live on the same block, and go to the same school. They even sit beside each other in class, but that's all they do together.
They don't talk to each other in school.
Even after school, although they often go to the same internet shop near school to play video games, they don’t talk to each other.
One day, after school, Pop and Benz were in the internet shop playing video games.
Pop played video games everyday after school and at home until s/he went to sleep, but her/his mother had stopped giving her/him money to play because she said that was all s/he did.
Pop ran out of the money,
but wanted to keep playing and asked Benz to give her/him some money.
Benz said no, even though s/he had enough money.
Pop, got angry and told Benz: "You are rich, you can give me the money, you are just being selfish!"
Benz still refused to give Pop money.
Pop got even more angry, and grabbed Benz’s books and threw them on the floor.
This made Benz angry, so s/he grabbed Pop's only notebook and ripped it.
Pop then grabbed Benz’s hand phone, and threw it on the floor where the cover broke.
