Sarah sits back and lets it all sink in. Then she writes:
Q: Why are the majority of people being diagnosed HIV-Positive in the U.S. today black?
Q: If Tyree Johnson had been white, and all the rest of the facts of this case were the same, would he have been charged with the first-degree murder of Beth Ann Brooks, or a lesser charge like aggravated sexual assault? Is there a racial component to this trial?
Q: Is Tyree Johnson really HIV-Positive?
Q: Was my brother really HIV-Positive?
She is underlining that last question a few times when she hears Gwen opening the door from the garage.
