I have just finshed Monster, by Walter Dean myres. It is about this 16 year old blackboy named Steve. well, he goes into a drug store in Harlem (that is where he lives)and kills the owner,or did he? In the book it is just like you are in jail with him and are in the court roonm with them too. It is told in dialogue. You will love the book and will not beable to put it down if you enjoy shows like Law and order.
