My thoughts echoed DJ's. This young man, who was facing a life of struggle most likely, due to his learning disability. No one really likes him, he is a lonely young man. And he gets fired and walks right into this horrific crime scene.
Seeing the cop at the end, he thinks he is going to get help but he is going to be locked up quicker than he can blink. And no one will believe him. Maybe he can get a good lawyer, but a good public defender? Everyone already mostly expects he is no good. Maybe not criminally no good, but no one will question him being in trouble, they will just nod their small town heads and say they always knew there was something off about him.
Another excellent story. Pretty sad, really, all the way around.
