That sort of injustice was, and still is, pretty common in small town America. I once worked with a Black man who was later shot in broad daylight at age 34, in front of numerous witnesses, over a unpaid loan by a white man. The murderer waited in the company parking lot for the shift change. He was convicted of the misdemeanor charge of criminally negligent homicide and sentenced to a year in the county jail. He was released on weekends to look after his cattle. 😐 Such was the price of a life in Milam County, Texas, in 1985.
What a tragic story. Do you know whatever happened to Lennie?
Lennie carried on his Dad’s legacy and became a bluegrass picker, as well. Yeah, this was a terrible tale.
Well that's good he carried on his dad's legacy.
Speaking of crazy stories, you ever heard anything about Vern Gosdin supposedly trying to murder his producer?
Oh. We’re getting to that!
😳🍿
