Fugitive on Video Shooting Deputy
Sharletta Evans Meets With the Man Who Killed Her Three-Year-Old Son
Breakfast reading from the Village Voice Empire: Evans had placed the boy in her car and was heading back to her home to retrieve another child when two gang members drove past, spraying bullets. She hoped meeting the gunman would help her heal. Did it? Westword has the story.

I'm glad he gave that to her also, at least he's given her that closure she was looking for, not to mention maybe good for his own soul searching for what he did.
Gotta say, this woman has much more restraint than I do. I couldn't have done this without some form of leaping at the SOB and attempting the strangle hold. The woman is to be given high credits and from the way it sounds, she appears satisfied in its results. In this instance, she's got more ovum than I got nutts, that's for sure. Bless you for your courage and thank you for being an inspiration to others in your community.
For the shooter to be willing to sit there for 8 hours and honestly and openly answer questions, that actually makes me have a little bit of respect for him. A LITTLE bit.
After 17 years i might be able to. I think anything within say 5 years of the homicide and it would be too raw, plus i would guess that the involved gang members wouldn't have as much power of hindsight to see they were in fact just being punk kids, and wouldn't be as respectful or willing to answer questions.
I can only hope it brought her some peace... me, I don't know that I could have done it.
