Pee Wee was born in the 1930's and almost immediately the neglect began. After drinking kerosene at one he suffered convulsions for years. All the men in his life inflicted capital punishment on him. He was a fighter from the beginning. He thought school was useless and quit early on. Then met a couple of other like-minded boys and his criminal career took off. After a while, the law caught on and he was in and out of the confines for years. As an adult, nobody was to question him. He did what he wanted, when he wanted. Including taking any life he saw fit. For years he reigned, until the law finally caught up with him. Bored in prison with his life sentence, he was challenged to kill again. For this he received the death penalty.
