The supervising attorney has relayed the following information to you: Jim is a seventeen year old high school student who attended a party on a Saturday night. The party was very crowded and cars were double-parked in front of the home hosting the party. There were no adults at the t the residence at the time of the party. Jim stated that he was not drinking alcohol, and was focused on attracting and keeping the atter attention of Susie, one of the teen-aged girls in attendance. Many of the guests were drinking beer. During the party, one of Jim's friends asked to borrow the keys to Jim's car, so that he could move it to get to his own car. Jim gave his keys to the friend and continued to party with Susie. Sometime later, the friend returned Jim's car keys and thanked him. A little after midnight, Jim left the party to go home. Before he could reach home, he was stopped by the police, and arrested in connection with a beer-theft incident at a nearby all-night grocery store. Jim was subsequently charged with theft of goods. Jim maintains that he is innocent, that he was at the party the entire time, and that the friend must have used the borrowed keys to take Jim's car and commit the crime. Jim's car has been impounded pending the outcome of the case.
