Eligibility Papers

Treaty-compliant paperwork demands shape these eligibility papers: stamped assurances from Georgia authorities pledging no death penalty for the extradited 13-year-old killer. Controlled by the DeKalb DA—not the governor—they dangle as the razor between provisional hold in Rome's San Battal prison and street release. Russell Angler brandishes their absence like a diplomatic grenade in the hallway surge, Josh's face hardening as the documents' bureaucratic weight crushes informal fixes.
