This week's case takes place in Gary, Indiana in 1985 and how the catastrophe of one random Tuesday afternoon, spent playing hooky from school destroys the lives of so many. We will discuss the tragic upbringing of five young ladies. One of the girls narrowly escapes the devastation that engulfs the other four young ladies' lives. With several teen pregnancies, absentee parental figures, neglect and physical abuse it's not surprising when the other four young teens end up in prison. Listen to today's case to hear about how 15-year-old Paula Cooper and her friends; 15-year-old April Beverly, 16-year-old Karen Corder, and 14-year-old Denis Thomas, decided to get money to go buy snack and hang out at the local arcade. This is a shocking story of what can happen when all hope is lost.
