it s trying to heal now. let me just play devil s advocate for a second. that whole scenario that you explained is motive. yeah, it s motive. i mean, i m supposed to be a suspect. but there s no motive because if i had motive i knew where to go at to kill her whole family. if i was going to go get her son, i knew where to go to get her sister, her mama, her brother, and even her daughter. though mallory says he s innocent, he finds himself in a precarious position. in jail those who hurt or kill children and those who give information to the police are perceived as the lowest of the low. mallory is accused of both. and because of media coverage, inmates already know who he is. for one, he s a rat. he s a rat. scum of the earth. and for two, he s a snake. even though louisville s the biggest city in kentucky, there s only a couple of degrees of separation.
but why would she set you up? because people had $25,000 hit over my head. because of the supposedly you re going to testify? yeah. mallory alleges that holt s mother, kendra wilson, lured him to an alley to collect the bounty placed on his head for testifying against jones. he says two men approached him for a cigarette and then questioned him about jones. one guy, he was like you telling me on my people s hot boy, ain t you? i was like nah, there s a misunderstanding or whatever, his trial s monday, i ain t telling on this guy. he said yeah, you are. he drew and grabbed a pistol like this. so immediately when he did that i kind of shook to try to grab him. he shot at my leg, and he ripped through my pants. i got a graze mark from my knee. it had fragments. it was bleeding. it s trying to heal now. let me just play devil s advocate for a second. that whole scenario that you
and we as the education foundation and pta did what we did best, the dollar-by-dollar donations and finally the teachers. the teachers union itself messaged it. they sent home messages with the kids in the envelope that said if you don t donate, we lose these programs. and every child in the district had to bring back that envelope signed by their parents with or without a donation so that the parents were aware that they were in trouble. we just didn t want anyone to have any way to duck and cover. had the me play devil s advocate for a second. could you be setting a dangerous precedents at this time that this time-honored tradition in the united states of a guaranteed education suddenly turns on whether a community can raise money? you know, it s an excellent question. i don t think it s even the devil s advocate. i think it s a fine question. the problem is this a public education is free. there is a free public education that is no doubt the right of every child and every
