He read John Grisham's The Chamber to get some idea about what death row was really like; now he's reading For the Defense by Rubin Ellis. But he is still caught up in memories of childhood. The father of a recreational-league basketball player whose team was an arch rival of Cousin's squad is in the next cell. "It was the only team that beat us," says Cousin. "That was the last game...
