I knew Justin Edwards for 15yrs and I knew the real person he was. He was a kind and helpful man. He was always there for his friends. I know the situation he got himself in and its was a simple case of making a stupid mistake. It all got turned around by an angry mother who hated Justin from the start of her daughters relationship with Justin. When he made a mistake with her other daughter out of spite.So to say he was a sex offender is wrong and unfair to him even in death. We have real child offender running free to hurt again. And and a man who really did no wrong kills himself out of the fear of never being free again.
