#145 - Clay Nathaniel Shrout

A troubled teenager commits an horrendous crime and there really isn’t any explanation for it.

He very narrowly is stopped from also becoming a school shooter.

He goes to prison and when he is eventually up for parole finally gives a motive.

Do you believe him, or is it an attempt to pull on the heart strings of the Parole Board?
