my life on a sinking ship

My story start when I was just 15. Thts when the reality of life began to show me its true colors. My brother Toby, also my fishing buddy growing up. He was always in and out of jail cause he could not stop drinking. his wife left him took his kids and his home. He was a heavy drinker and she would not live with tht. well he met Lisa Matlock shortly after his seperation with his wife and they went to the bar to drink. She was huggin and kissing all over another guy and he got upset and dumped a glass of water on her. The bar tender called the police and had him arrested for assult. The next day I went to school like every day durring the week. Durring third hour I got a page asking me to come to the office and my princeapal was waiting for me. He told me there was a tall guy in a black uniform waiting around the corner. At this time I thought they had found the cigs in my locker. I walked around the corner to see the son of my moms paster standing there. As I was walking outside I noticed my other brother David sitting in the car and instantly new something was wrong. We were taken home and when we walked in the door we noticed our mother crying over the counter and my dad pacing back and fourth in the kitchen. I ran up to my room and locked the door. I already knew what they were going to tell me. They said tht my brother had hung himself in jail. They did an investigation to discover what exactly took place. They discovered his dominate arm was broken, after they said he riped a wool blanket to make a nuse. Anyone who has ever had a wool anything knows its hard to rip it let alone rip it with a broken arm. They also found he had multiple fractures in his skull. Irronically the three hours it took him to do this were errased from the servalance tape. With tht there was not enough evidance to show what exactly took place tht night so the case was droped. My brothers ex wife got $300k for neglagence to do their jobs and check on the prisoners. This case drug on for two yrs. We were the talk of the town and front page news every day cept sunday. The police phone records were not allowed to be presented in court as it was an invasion of their privacy. Anything to keep the truth from getting out. The phone records stated Robby Bass " A jailer at the tazewell county jail" " its bad news, We need someone to help us clean up this mess." The other voice replies " what happend, Robby told him tht he was dead, tht they needed to find a way to make it look like an accident" they hung up. dig as much as you want. From jan 22 1998 in Pekin illinois and inmate "Stephen Christopher Carson" Hung himself in the Tazewell county jail. There was no closier for my family and I. We got several collect phone calls from inmates telling us they were beating him as he cried out for his mother. Their testamony was thrown out in court as they were criminals and could be lying. Those calls continued even after the case was dismissed. Some call came from inmates who were in jail at the time but released shortly after with no charges pressed if they remained sillent. they only reason they have stopped calling is cause they had our number changed. One of these days I'm hoping to be smart enough to fight the system and brush off the dust on my brothers case. I'm going to show everyone the snake in our justice department. When I do this city will burn to ashes. I can't say much of anything else but I will say tht I will get closier. My family deserves to know the truth even if its gut wrenching. Its to late for my dad as he passed away Dec 8 2008. He already knows the truth though and hes the only one of us who does.
