John Peterson is 85 years old African American male that was born in Chicago and moved to Minneapolis Minnesota at the age of twenty. Throughout my interview with John, I was able to learn and gather some information regarding key historical events that took place in United States. Most importantly, he shared the impact those events had on his life and people around him. John was 38 years old when Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated. Therefore, he was knowledgeable about civil right movements and racial problems that took place.
One of the events along his journey was when he aided the King and Duke in their scams at the Royal Nonesuch theater.

Dick from In Cold Blood maintained that he was less guilty and did not deserve the death penalty. In stating this, Dick was not correct that he was less guilty. There are justifiable proofs that diminish his chances of being less guilty.
