Again I’m not involved in this case other than people coming into the Best Buy asking about a pay phone, then briefly looking up the case. So I assume your talking about Woodlawn High? That’s on the other side of 695. I did that drive all the time to get food on my lunch break from the shopping centers across the street from the school. About a 5 minute drive.

I wouldn’t say I’m a “guilter”, I never followed the podcast or case except for that I worked at the Best Buy mentioned in the case. Another coworker and I from Geek Squad got curious when it was slow one day during the height of the podcast. We decided to try to track down where the payphone would be since we had people asking about it all the time. We found a few outlet blanker panels at the front exit, we then went to the room that is next to where the outlet panels were mounted, which is the security office, we then found telephone cables running to those blanker panels. We then traced the cables through the drop ceiling over to the telecom room a couple rooms down from the security office, we then found them on the phone line punch down. So there was a pay phone at the front of Best Buy, just that it would have been long removed by the time the podcast was under production.

I believe him to be guilty but he was a minor when he did it and has served over 23yrs in prison. I think thats enough time served for a crime committed when being a minor. Especially since he has a perfect prison record, and has gotten educated while in prison. I wish him the best of luck with his job at the university.
