For eight years, Sabrina Harris said she has gotten word through the community grapevine about the two boys who were wrongly accused of killing her daughter Ryan.

She said she wouldn't hear much about one of the boys. But of the other, Romarr Gipson, she said she would get stopped by people familiar with her daughter's case who were eager to inform her about Gipson's run-ins with the law. So when a friend told her Saturday that Gipson was implicated in a shooting, she said she wasn't surprised.

"They say that the police have made him that way," Harris said. "I don't feel that way. [The boys] were both accused of the same crime, and you don't read about the other boy. You can't say it is because of what happened eight years ago."

I hadn't heard of this case before, but the cops who leaped on the idea that 7/8 year old boys raped and murdered this girl are obviously idiots.
