This week, Drewby & Yergy discuss the tragic story of Cherish Perrywinkle, a beautiful 8 year old girl from Jacksonville, FL, who met her fate at the hands of a convicted sex offender, Donald Smith, who posed as a kindly old man who wanted to help Cherish's mother. We also discuss how the state of Florida allowed Smith to go free despite numerous offenses and reviews from doctors declaring that he was beyond rehabilitation.
