Timothy Coggins

Timothy was a caring, charismatic 23-year-old man with his whole life ahead of him.  On October 9, 1983, two men made the decision to end his life, because he was black.  This is a heart-wrenching story of how ugly and horrific some people can be.  This may be one of the toughest cases, Cristy has covered.
