Robert reasoned, “I understand how you feel, Mr. Howard, but it’s a greater crime to be exploited. Moreover, I can vouch for Mr. Lawrence’s character even if we were only recently acquainted. He would never desecrate another man’s body.” Each of Frank’s blows had the potential to be lethal.

And as Bron put it, Troy’s head was stomped into pieces.
