Two calls from Robin from Detroit — one last Friday, and one this past Wednesday.

A few days later, Weds., Jun 13: Robin calls back and says he forgave his mother. Jesse asks if he was nervous on the way — he was scared of retaliation, victim-blaming, but it wasn’t like that. He prayed before he got there. He was very truthful with her. Her face lit up, she was smiling, and had tears. She probably had a feeling he really resented her. He doesn’..
