This chapter recounts the story of Brandon, a young person who wanted to leave the gang world. It describes his last moments before he was fatally shot and includes an interview with his girlfriend. The chapter also discusses the deep-seated racism in Alabama and highlights the importance of including details in footnotes.
At the end of a forgotten study of convicted murderers, the author left a devastating footnote. We travel to an old plantation house outside Montgomery Alabama to hear his story — and what it tells us about American gun violence.
