Is Oklahoma City pharmacist Jerome Ersland a murderer? A jury in that town thought so. Too bad there’s no jury to find Antwun Parker’s mom guilty of being an awful parent. I’m sorry; there’s just no other conclusion to reach. You may agree or disagree after you hear the details of the story.

It was May 19, 2009, when Ersland was working in the Reliable Discount Pharmacy in Oklahoma City. A video surveillance camera showed two men wearing ski masks walk into the store brandishing guns and attempting to rob the joint.
