From a childhood marked by poverty, absence, and cold-water mornings until age seventeen,…
The crowded Ohio courtroom fell silent the moment seventeen-year-old Ryan Cooper swaggered inside, hands shoved in his hoodie, chin lifted with the careless confidence of someone who believed nothing could touch him.
