When I heard he got paroled, I... I couldn't think straight. I've never been able to get that night out of my mind.
Yeah, you, uh... never really told me what happened.
He came home... wasted almost every day. That night, he found a towel on the bathroom floor and started slapping her around. Mom was screaming. He told her to shut up, but... she didn't. So he punched her... and kept punching her... until her face just... blood and bones and hair.
You were there?
Me and Neil, yeah. Told us if we ever said a word to anybody about it, he'd fucking kill us both. Took a blanket from Neil's bed... wrapped Mom up... and threw her in a dumpster. Policewoman gave us Cokes. We never got Cokes.
How old were you?
Ten. We testified against him, both of us. And they just let him out.
