Collingwood: Once Knew Suspect

Item: Suspected St. Maries killer says fatal gunshot was accidental/Meghann Cuniff, SR

CollingwoodCDA: I actually went to St. Maries in third, fourth and fifth grade and the dude charged with the murder was a childhood friend. Haven’t seen the kid or the heard his name since I lived in that lil’ ol’ town. That’s now the second kid from my diminutive St. Maries class — Melissa Bates being the first — charged with a murder this year. There’s some great people in SM — I think I’m related to 1/8 the county, even — but that town’s always been its own little world, IMHO. You could say the same about any town, really, but I put an asterisk near SM.

Question: Did you ever go to school with someone convicted of murder?
