Summary

The suburbs have been labeled the most visible manifestation of the American dream. It’s in these clean-cut bedroom communities where countless families seek refuge from the frantic hustle and bustle of city life and the crime that comes with it. But parents who flee to the suburbs trying to insulate their children from the scourge of drugs and violence frequently discover a hard truth: that crime, even murder, can take root anywhere, no matter the zip code or median income. James and Judie Farris learned this lesson in the most horrific way possible. Jimmy Farris Jr. was supposed to end up a soldier, a firefighter, or a cop like his dad. Instead, on the evening of May 22, 1995, he was pronounced dead at the age of 16, the victim of two stab wounds suffered during a 10-second brawl over marijuana. Jimmy Farris’ tragic death astonished the small California community where he lived, shattering its veneer of safety and innocence. But what happened next, many would argue, was far more shocking.
