Sara Kurzan.
These days, the Rhodes scholars of the criminal justice system seem to like locking people up for life the way Mark Sanford likes frequent filer miles on Aerolineas. Well, they've managed another winner: sentencing 16-year-old trafficking victim Sara Kruzan to die in prison for killing her pimp. My partner-in-crime-blogging Matt has the criminal justice perspective on what happened, but here's how things look from Sara's perspective.
When Sara met G.G., the 31-year-old man who would become her pimp, she was 11. Sara's mom struggled with drug addiction, so when G.G. would drive Sara and her friends to the roller skating rink or the mall, it felt like having a real parent around. He gave Sara presents and told her she was special- so special, that she should never give sex away for free. He convinced her she was a product.
G.G. groomed Sara like this for two years before he raped her. By then, his control was complete and he forced her into prostitution. Sara and the other girls who G.G. exploited were out on the streets from 6pm to 6am, every night. Twelve hours a night, seven days a week, for three years, Sara was raped by strangers so G.G. could profit. After three years, she snapped, and she killed him.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
If they ever decided to make Who Framed Roger Rabbit Part 2. This guy would be a great villian. He'd make a great villan in any movie actually....I would be scared if i woke up in the middle of the night, and he is standing in my bedroom door...I'd shoot and destroy him of course, but that shit would be scary.
Life.
This is my little cousin Chelal Gross-Matos. When he was 2 years old, he fell overboard into the water from a boat. His father Michael Gross (my older cousin) jumped in to save his son. Once in the water, he was able to pull him up to safety. However the undercurrent of the water, pulled Michael down and drowned him.
