A former Naperville North High School student accused of violating a municipal theft ordinance took the stand Wednesday at the DuPage County Courthouse to defend herself, asserting that she didn’t intentionally take another student’s AirPods.
Amara Harris and her mother, Marla Baker, sit outside the DuPage County Courthouse in Wheaton after court adjourned for the day on Aug. 9, 2023.
The long battle between Harris and the city of Naperville has contributed to debates over the practice of police officers ticketing students at school, documented last year by the Tribune and ProPublica in the investigation “Because Harris’ case involves a civil violation, the burden of proof is less than for a criminal charge. Prosecutors must show only that a “preponderance of the evidence” supports the allegation, or that it more than likely happened.
Harris said the name automatically changed on the AirPods when paired, stating that’s how AirPods work. She said she didn’t know the serial number on the device and didn’t take them out of the owner’s backpack during a class they shared, as the AirPods’ owner had suspected. However, Baker testified Wednesday that she met with Leon multiple times. She said she showed him a receipt for the AirPods that Harris purchased in May 2019.
