“

I found um there there's a book by the way in 2022 that was written uh called Blind Eye by martha burns and it's they call a thinly fictionalized version of the story i don't like that writing when you shot three people in the fucking eye yeah it's yeah blind eye exactly because everybody turned a blind eye to the abuse but she um it's it's it's it's the case i mean jesus they might have changed a name or two but i mean he just she describes the autopsies like they exactly like they happen so i mean nothing fictional about there i did find cody yeah um yeah he's going under his real name um appears to live in texas at this point he was working in the tire industry for a long time all different tire shops now it looks like he got back into ranch work uh here uh he did go to college as well central mexico new mexico community college and um yep well the one even has listed as where he was jail was in there on it so i was like oh that's got to be him so um yeah there he is there's cody he's out there and um i don't know this is one of those cases where you go fuck what do you do discuss discuss it amongst yourselves because those are the facts i don't know how to judge it because there's so many different emotions coming into it i don't know if his dad forced him to sleep with that woman but if he did that's fucked up too uh that's sick the poor i feel bad for if that happened the only person i feel bad for is that daughter that's it just the daughter yeah me too i feel terrible for her jake seems to be robbed too and he's very sweet about it but yeah that poor guy man yeah i think he he realized it was collateral damage i think and it's just really sad though so if you enjoyed that story or at least how we told it because there's no way to enjoy a story of
