    Most ballads are written about mythical folklore figures but this is the entire story of a real-life legend sung by an authentic country voice in a melody that fits that story. The instruments and backup vocals do not overpower the singing. Good job.

    A different style than the Clifton Hicks song. The minor factual inaccuracies in this one bug me though. I've watched the trial so many times, still fall asleep to it sometimes. He was maced/tear gassed by police *after* the shootings. The convicted pedophile threw a bag containing a water bottle (not jugs). Said bag hit a brick wall, not the "concrete." Someone yelled "cranium that boy" *as* he was running, not before. He was whacked with a skateboard while running and *before* "jumpkick man" *landed* an undodged kick to the face.
    Too many incorrect details for me to shut my brain off and enjoy it.
