I think what is both so entirely realistic and so utterly enraging is that the murders, cover-up and frame up weren’t done by some masterminds, some criminal geniuses. No “Napoleon of Crime” (tm Sherlock Holmes) to be seen here.
There is a reason the moment someone(s) started to properly look into them, the whole thing unraveled. It did not require genius and superhuman efforts just a modicum of brain and common sense!!!
And the only reason JW had his whole life wrecked, his family had their lives wrecked, all that insane level of suffering he went through, his father’s death, his mother’s miserable existence - was because nobody with any shred of power or authority whatsoever had any interest in looking for the truth and many of them actively benefitted from the state of affairs or were involved.
I think it feels less bleak if someone’s life is ruined due to a brilliant adversary, akin to a human force of nature. Or due to making a truly implacable enemy. Because then there is a reason, a strong foe etc etc. But a wonderful young man had his life ruined for nothing he or his family had done - nobody involved was panting to bring him down he just happened to be convenient, and it was brought down by such pathetic, bad at crime scumbags that it hits worse - the randomness of it (how do you protect against randomness? You can’t!) but also the powerlessness where you can be taken down by such pathetic useless amateurs because the circumstances align and because there are many of these pathetic amateurs and they form a cabal of support.
PS I am sure his mom is gonna wake up and be vvvv repentant to discover her son is innocent and JW being JW will be happy to live with her and never blame her for the way she abandoned him but I am not JW and so it sticks in my craw something fierce! She does not deserve his forgiveness (or love, but people are loved not because they deserve it so….)

I was denied disability, and I'm furious.
It sounds like it's just because I've been tested for a few things and they came back negative. And to me that almost sounds like I'm being discriminated against because I don't have epilepsy, for example, but do have functional movement disorder.
And also because I live alone... but if I did live with anyone else, I'd lose my Medicaid.
According to my lawyer, he said if I lived in another state, I would have gotten disability. He's the best, and he's going to appeal... but there's no guarantee that's going to work (like, my hearing with the judge was already the result of me having been denied twice and having appealed those denials). This is so infuriating.
