(Lott's alma mater Eisenhower HS in Rialto is about an hour ride from Wilson's Point Loma HS in San Diego)
obviously wilson carried a backpack full of immaturity and bad judgments prior to his twice being tried for murder, but if a couple of years in LA County Jail didn't wake him up , nothing will . . . . i did two weeks at the Twin Towers on some traffic infractions, was holed up with the moderate risks and feared for my life everyday, so i can imagine his time with the higher risks where the smallest of slights ended in violence . . . . . .
"i had to fight just to be left alone . . . . . everyday somebody was getting cut or beat up"
