Contemporary Quote by Sarah Crossan
““Some guys get fifteen years, others get life. So death for Ed but not for everyone. Cos it all depends on who you kill and where you kill them too. Like, don't shoot a white cop in Walker Country, Texas. If that's your plan, do it in Arlington, New York- no needles of electric chairs there. Just doesn't seen fair to me.””
