re: Did any of your childhood/high school friends grow up to be criminals?

I went to a fairly large suburban high school, so yes, I knew people who became criminals. Two of them are murderers.

The first was on my junior high basketball team. He discovered crack when he was about 15 (this was the 80's). Nobody really knew what happened to him until he ended up on the news a few years later for murdering two family members during a robbery.

The other was a guy I hung out with in high school. He stabbed a guy in a fight outside of a bar. I hadn't seen him in 15 years or more, so I can't exactly say that we were friends.
