    Moore said her daughter and other son drove four hours to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where the autopsy had been performed, and picked up a sealed red bag containing what they were told was their brother’s organs. They buried the bag along with him.

    Fucking horrifyingly

    The open tab they had in the prison needed to be paid somehow.

    My imagination gave me plenty of reason to plea guilty when I wasn’t guilty. When you’re facing overwhelming force that has you contained, you do what they insist. I’ve been completely disenfranchised because a road raging asshole pointed the finger at me.
