"When Chris Marciano was 4 years old, he would have a blistering tantrum whenever music came on the radio. By the second grade, his teacher described him as "not with us." At age 11, he was kicked out of school....

"He should have been one of the ones accepted, and he got shunned," Tim Marciano said. "In the meantime, he was just rotting in prison, when he should have been getting help in a mental health facility somewhere. Look at where it's gotten him."
