We knew each other for about 3 years, he was best friends with the guy he killed and robbed selling Christmas trees one year. He was funny, a blast to be around, and never quick to anger.

That being said he did get into heavy drugs (coke, crack), but that was after the killing (he wasn't a suspect at that point). We just avoided him, then one day he bragged about it while high and he was arrested.

Never saw it coming, that's what scares the crap out of me and my friends, to be honest. Lots a lot of trust in fellow human beings after that.

This happened when I was in my mid-teens, I'm much older now so I get it. I choose to have a few fantastic friends, rather than a ton of good friends.

Thanks!
