It snaps and she falls back to the earth. Imagine the noose going tight around her neck and with a sudden blinding jerk she's pulled into the air and her feet and legs go kicking. They throw them so hard that it tears the flesh all the way to her bones. They start throwing full beer cans at her. And when they're done, after they've killed her tiny womb, murdered any chance for her to have children, to have life beyond her own, they decide to use her for target practice. First one, then the other, raping her, shattering everything innocent and pure with a vicious thrust in a fog of drunken breath and sweat. They drag her into a nearby field and they tie her up and they rip her clothes from her body. This is a story about a little girl walking home from the grocery store one sunny afternoon. I'm going to ask you all to close your eyes while I tell you the story. Jake Tyler Brigance: I want to tell you a story.
