Hope this link helps but if you don’t want to do se any link or take a look at them, I will have the copied information in my

As was mentioned in the previous post, Osvaldo Cruz is a fourteen-year-old boy who participates in the robbery of the convenience store. He is a member of the street gang known as the Diablos and is portrayed as an unreliable witness throughout Steve Harmon's trial. Osvaldo initially criticizes Steve for attempting to act like a thug before they agree to help Bobo and James King rob the store. Osvaldo's job during the robbery is to stand outside of the convenience store and slow down anybody attempting to chase after Bobo and James King as they flee the store. While Osvaldo is on the witness stand, he testifies that he only participated in the robbery because Bobo threatened to harm him and his family. Osvaldo also implicates Steve Harmon by testifying that Steve's job was to be the lookout. Petrocelli, Steve's lawyer, portrays Osvaldo as an unreliable witness who is simply testifying in order to receive a lighter sentence. Following the trial, Steve mentions that Osvaldo was arrested for stealing a car and sent to a reformatory.

Osvaldo Cruz is a fourteen year old boy the prosecution uses as a witness against King and Harmon in the murder/robbery trial. Cruz, during his testimony, states that his involvement in the trail only happened because Bobo told him that if he did not help in the robbery he would cut him. Cruz also stated that Bobo threatened to do the same to his (Cruz's) mother. Cruz states that Bobo had the robbery all planned out. That he (Bobo) and King would go in to rob the store and that Cruz simply had to slow anyone down that came out after them. Cruz states:
All I had to do was to slow anybody down who came out after them. I was going to push a garbage can in front of them.
Cruz also testifies that Steve Harmon was going to be the look-out. After his testimony regarding the crime, Steve's lawyer (O'Brien) gets Cruz to admit that he belongs to a gang called the Diablos and that he cut someone in the face as his initiation into the gang.

Hope this info helped I haven’t read this book but I think that this information can give you hints on the character’s character traits.

today we'd use social media to quickly spread a controversial idea, but in the eighteenth century, the printed pamphlet was highly effective. and thomas paine took full advantage of it. on january 9, 1776, when paine published his pamphlet, "common sense," he wanted to push the american people toward independence from britain. it ultimately ignite the american revolution. thomas paine argued that the monarchy was evil and should be rejected as a form of government. to underscore his point, he cited the bible to argue his case -- in judges 8: 22-23: "the israelites said to gideon, 'rule over us, you and your son and your ' gideon told them, 'i will not rule over you. the lord will rule over you'" (nrsv).

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
