146. I killed a man with one punch
Jacob Dunne was a teenager who, without many prospects, and growing up being laden with expectations that he’d never amount to anything, got involved in gang warfare that was common between rival estates. Then one night, he did a stupid, but awful thing – he punched a man unprovoked…the man fell and, a week later, died from his injuries.

144. Alabama's Most Wanted Cyber Criminal
Brett is a cyber criminal who grew up as a normal criminal before going to the internet to steal. He’s a real character perhaps worthy of his own movie or something, has a bit of Catch Me If You Can in him, especially in the way that, after serving time in prison, he teamed up with the FBI to stop basically the person that he used to be, stopping other criminals from profiting from what he profited from.
