“When I was 25, I walked in on my grandma’s killer. She was already dead. Her breasts were cut off. He was still on top of her, raping her, when he heard me come in that night. He tried to get away, but I wrestled him to the ground. I put my hands around his throat and strangled him to death. I looked into his eyes as he struggled. Then his body just stopped wiggling around. The state of New Jersey wound up giving me 35 years. C’mon, man, It wasn’t my fault. What would you do if someone was raping your grandma?” (photo by Donato DiCamillo)
