What a story William "Babe" Quinn could tell about how far our country has come in the last hundred years. He claims to be the nations most "Forgotten Man" as he served an extra 15 years of a sentence in which he killed a man over a 10 cent can of beer! A weird story but the original mug-shot photograph is a touching reminder at the evolution of criminal justice system.
