Description
Get some insights into how one Texas judge looks at the world, and why some Texans think the way they do. Meet his family and get a taste of old-time Winona, Texas (pop. 622). Murders, suicides, and accidents happen in the country as well as in the city. The mysteries of death on television are solved using CSI technology, on-the-spot DNA testing, and all kinds of gimmicks, all within the hour. In real life, the solutions take more time, and some mysteries will never be solved. A few stories of death linger in one's mind, while others will be buried on the lips of those in the grave. Laugh, cry, wonder, and take a closer look at yourself through these memorable stories. Death comes to us all. You may find it is time to start living-maybe even living with the dead! From Chapter 17 Inquest #1236: Happy Birthday "I bought him the shotgun for his birthday. I told him not to play with it. It was not a toy," exclaims an emotional wife, crying her eyes out. "He had done this before. Like it was a game." "Don't worry," he would say, pointing the gun to his head and pulling the trigger. "It's not loaded." The last time, it was. "Through the words of this book you will see through my eyes what I have seen throughout the years."
