...went after her where she worked-just to talk, he says. Nonetheless, he had a shotgun with him that went off in a scuffle with the woman's fellow employees. She was wounded. Sy didn't mean it. No, he does not see a parallel between this crime and his first trouble: pursuing a girlfriend and winding up in prison. "This time I was responsible." The thought does not console...
