The Erin Caffey Story

He who walks with wise men shall be wise but a companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:30 Written by Bob Stewart The people you spend most of your time with will influence how your life turns out. Often circumstances are such that people end up with company that is not ideal. It is not uncommon for people to be born into a drug and crimefree atmosphere. These are situations which are beyond the control of these people. But others end up in bad company in one way or another and in this post I am going to give some examples of how one can be controlled and how others can take advantage of this.

Wilkinson, Waid, and Johnstone all told investigating officers that it was all Erin's idea. It appears that the investigating officer's never asked the trio who were questioned independantly whether Erin's plan was all a bad idea. I think it would have been interesting to
