We, and he, aren’t sure. Darrell had a total blackout due to drinking alcohol and doesn’t remember that night. That’s why doing the DNA testing was so important – to learn the truth. There was enough question that the Innocence Project was willing to foot the biil.

Perhaps, you might like to read some of my other entries about Darrell Grayson, who had become a friend.

I think there was a reasonable chance he was innocent.

This seems like a rather strange outpouring of sympathy for a man who committed a brutal and gruesome crime.

Do you think he was innocent and falsely convicted?

My pleasure, Holly. I will read at least one of my own railroad poems next Tuesday in Hickory.

Great poem. I am saddened to learn of his death. I wish things could have been different.
