Once Leroy was a criminal, a thief making a living by robbing empty homes and lifting wallets. No, it wasn’t honest, but at least no one got hurt; as Leroy’s mother had always said “you can replace things but you can’t replace a life.” And no one did get hurt, until that night. The whole thing is still vivid in Leroy’s mind. The owners returning home unexpectedly. All Leroy wanted to do was get away; if they’d only let him go. Why couldn’t they just have let him go! But the husband went after Leroy. The two of them struggled. He was hitting Leroy with the fireplace poker. Leroy grabbed the nearest thing that came to hand. He struck. Leroy can still hear the sickening thud, see the man’s eyes glaze over, feel the blood run down Leory’s hand, hear his wife screaming as Leroy ran into the street. For several days Leroy tried to tell himself that it was self-defense, that he had no choice, but the truth was if Leroy hadn’t been robbing the place, none of this would have ever happened. And so Leroy made a vow. Leroy would dedicate his life to righting wrongs; he would turn from crime to justice. Today Leroy still occasionally break the law, but now it is to help those the law cannot help; although he can never atone for what he did, Leroy can at least try.
