A former friend of mine told me once that that this guy went on a church trip with the Anna First Baptist youth group when he was 15. He said that Brian wore superman underoos to sleep in, and before going to bed, he cried uncontrollably for him mommy. The youth pastor had to take him to a telephone to call his mom to pick him up. I know for a fact that he lived with mommy until the day they were both arrested. And everyone in Anna knows that you NEVER saw one without the other. These are some weird people. They are going to have a ball with him in prison. Bye Bye Brian. Let's home mommy gets 50 years. **fingers crossed**
