How a convicted killer became my friend: Gary Rivlin's "StrayBullet."

"Fat Tone" at California's Calipatria prison, December 1993. Courtesy The Atavist. Mother Jones today published an excerpt/adaptation from a new Atavist piece by Gary Rivlin titled "Stray Bullet." Mike Mechanic of Mother Jones explains,
In 1995, Gary wrote his first book, Drive-By, about a drive-by murder of a 13-year-old by an 18-year-old, pretty emblematic of the knuckle headed shit that went on at the murderous peak of the crack trade in places like Oakland, where the story took place.
