The

The A series of A series of vicious cycles.

They can be usually found littering the lives of convicts, addicts, and misfortuneate people

trapped in the conditions they were born into.

But one life in particular would be marred by these vicious cycles and result

in a crime spree much unlike any other. His name was Mwanza Camus, otherwise known as Darnel Collins,

and he was born April 5, 1962. His father was killed in combat during the Vietnam War, leaving Darnell in the sole care of his mother.

But soon after, Darnell would find a new role model, or role models, to shape his life around.

Sometimes referred to as Khan College, Darnell didn't show up on the steps

of Juvie with only petty crimes under his belt. He was there for assault, shoplifting, larceny,

and it was there that Darnel's life turned a dark corner he seemed never to be able to come back

from. Darnell was in and out of Juvie his entire childhood,

and when he grew up, too old to be allowed back in, he stood at a crossroads. The next time

he was caught breaking the law, he would go to prison, adult prison, a place far harsher than

any institution Darnel had been to before. Now, as an adult,

Darnell attempted to pay the bills by buying pictures and paintings in New York and selling them

on the streets of Atlantic City, where he'd grown up. Maybe there'd been a future for him in this

once, a future where Darnell would never

need to break the law again.

Maybe it was simply that Darnell had no idea how to behave as a law-abiding citizen.

He was arrested again in 1984, and this time he had six charges against him.
