    Jay Kelley Pinkerton was young, from a middle-class family that was educated. He was a sick individual and so young. Jay had been arrested for looking in windows at night. He also had broken into homes and had in his possession women’s undergarments. I guess what is the sickest thing about him was he got off raping the women after he had stabbed them to death. Our town was gripped from fear until he was arrested. At his arrest and trial he was cocky arrogant and denied any involvement. He went to his death the same way. Sarah Dawn Lawrence’s children (very young) and husband moved to Lubbock because of the emotional state they were under and our town. I didn’t know if I believed in the death penalty until Pinkerton killed Sarah and Sherry Lynn Welch. After the fear, and trials I believed Pinkerton didn’t deserve to live. Milam is a sick individual too and deserves to die, Amora was one of the most innocent victims here. That poor baby couldn’t even defend herself. I believe there is a God and Blaine will stand in judgement.
