I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...
... Slyvester Jiles, do I really understand your incredible story? You shoot Dustin Prouse when he's hanging out at his brother's house, because that's how little skinny modern Al Capones resolve issues nowadays, and then, when you finally go to trial, the judge decides to reduce your sentence to eight years of probation because they can't find any credible witnesses. So ... you are put out into the world for three days, and the Prouses and Leggetts (the victim's almost fiance's family) scare you so much that you decide it's better to be back in jail -- where you feel it's safe (did HBO's OZ mismanage my expectations of life on the inside?). Next ... you break INTO jail, gashing yourself from the barbed wire and ending up sentenced to 15 years in prison for the new charges. It seems like you're hedging your bets that time heals all wounds, and although your barbed wire boo-boos have surely scarred over by now, I have a hunch that the Prouse/Leggett loss will still feel raw in 2025 and they'll probably communicate a certain degree of being pissed off your way in a scant 5475 days or so.
I just have to say two things -- I will be in Florida on vacation by the end of the week, and you best not represent the people with whom I'll be interacting AND if this is what has to pass for a modern day update of the Capulet/Montague feud ... the bard rolls round in his chancel grave site! [I know roll over is the more accepted phrasing, but it would screw up my attempt at iambic pentameter.] To truly make it Shakespearean, let's throw in a little cross-dressing, a mistaken identity or two and an Everglades sprite.
