Question

what was steve deever,s crime

Answer 1

Neve seen in the play, Steve Deever, Annie's father, was Joe's subordinate at the manufacturing plant, and his cowardice in allowing the parts to be caulked over and shipped has landed him in jail. Steve, however, knows that Joe ordered​ him to caulk over the parts, and Steve therefore demands that Joe, too, face justice for the crime he has committed.
