Miss Petrocelli is willing to use improper tactics to win her case.
Explanation:
Dean Myers' drama novel <em>Monster </em>revolves around the murder trial of the narrator 16-year-old Steve Harmon and his involvement in an act that led to his depiction as a monster by everyone. The novel focuses on the justice system, identity, racial belonging, and the truth behind the rest of the story.
In the given discourse between the lawyers in court, Miss Petrocelli's implication that King is <em>"acquainted with everyone involved in the robbery"</em> is greatly objected by his lawyer Asa Briggs. And when the judge reiterates that she <em>"do(es) know better",</em> he meant that she is walking on dangerous ground and should not make such claims as to directly implicate King. This <u>dialogue shows that Miss Petrocelli is not afraid to use improper tactics to get her way and try to win the case.
