Episode 226: She Was Murdered For Wearing The Wrong Colored Shirt (Case of 14-Year-Old Brandy DuVall)
It was her favorite outfit. A red Michael Jordan jersey, black shorts, and sneakers. She was hesitant about wearing it because, well, the color red meant something in the area, but her mom encouraged her to wear what she wanted.
