Summary

The night of June 11, 2011, will forever be seared in Roger Stringer’s memory. The night started off with a dinner of boiled shrimp with his two sons. The night ended with his family being torn apart.

This story contains sensitive content and graphic imagery not suitable for young listeners. Listener discretion advised.

A very big BIG thank you to Roger and Zac Stringer for sharing their story with us here at Snap!

As of yet, Zac has not been exonerated. A post-conviction relief appeal to clear his name is stalled in a local circuit court. His civil lawsuit against Remington is currently in limbo. Zac is now 24. He goes to college full time. He's the first-ever convicted felon to be admitted to William Carey University in Mississippi.

Produced by Nancy Lopez, original score by Renzo Gorrio

Sound design by Pat Mesiti-Miller

0:57.4	past a spooked live.
1:00.0	But join at a level that makes sense for you at snapjudgment.org.
1:06.2	It is the joy of my life to bring you these tales.
1:10.6	Please know that Snap Storytelling narrated by a guy with a speech impediment simply
1:15.6	doesn't happen unless you make it happen.
1:18.7	So I'm asking from one snapper to another, please stop the show for just a moment.
1:25.1	Make it happen at snapjudgment.org.
1:32.1	Thanks.
1:37.1	The icy conversation, the elephant in the room too hard, too big, too messy to even whisper
1:44.4	about, hangs over everything, colors everything, but still goes unsaid.
1:51.7	Nobody, nobody dares go there.
1:55.3	But today on Snapjudgment, we go there.
