Convicted of murder at 16, Anthony Willis is hoping a Supreme Court decision ... - Fayetteville Observer
Willis hated that car. The 20-year-old Caprice often took more than three minutes to start, especially on a snow-covered day like this one in February 1996. The car was so old and so ugly that when his mother dropped him off at Pine Forest High School, Willis pleaded... But Willis knew his mother was doing her best. Willis wanted so much more for his mother, and for himself. He wanted the clothes and the cars that the cool kids had at Pine Forest. Most of all, Willis wanted to stop feeling invisible. Even though his mother had taught him better, Willis began breaking into homes and stealing cars. Within his new clique, Willis finally felt he had begun to be somebody. Willis had never robbed anyone before. But he had pawned a set of car speakers, and his pawn ticket was about to expire. Willis was familiar with the store and its owner. Maybe that's what caused him to have cold feet as he sat in the Caprice with an accomplice. Willis drove away from Uncle Ben's but then. Source: www.fayobserver.com
