Exploring Chapter 13 Part 2 of Born A Crime

Trevor Noah recounts an incident from his youth where he and his friend Teddy were involved in a shoplifting escapade. While Trevor managed to escape, Teddy was caught and arrested. Trevor's mother suspected his involvement, but Teddy provided an alibi. At school, Trevor was called to the principal's office, where he was shown security footage of the incident. Due to the camera's inability to properly capture his skin tone, Trevor was misidentified as a white accomplice, allowing him to avoid punishment.

What did Trevor do when he realized it was a dead end?

• He called for help.

• He surrendered to the mall cops.

• He found a way to squirm through the fence.

• He went back to face the mall cops.
