A Dragon Comes as Well, (Part I) David I Black

"Forsooth a dragon cometh too; a kind of wisdom to tally true," two teenage boys in Wisconsin wrote onto a page of song lyrics in 1992, unaware the words sounded like several verses of Book of Isaiah, Chapter 34. Eighteen years later, Rolling 30's Harlem Crips gang member Darius Gant, with a dragon tattoo on his arm, shot 8 bullets into an innocent bystander near downtown Los Angeles to exact a vendetta as part of a gang war with neighboring gang "the fruit town brims." One of those two Wisconsin kids, David Bilskemper, later (and right before his name change to last name Black) became a jury member on Mr. Gant's attempted murder case- a trial involving an epic, malicious showdown of language between two startlingly different female attorneys and witness testimony from a shooting victim who almost certainly should have died. This is his story- a true crime personal memoir book rivaling "Blood Will Out" by Walter Kirn and in a similar stylistic genre as "My Story" by Elizabeth Smart with Chris Stewart. Previously presented as a combined book, this is a reissue of "Part 1" with easy-to-read font size.
