I am curious about his college history as well. Seems like he must have dropped out, worked a few jobs, kind of going nowhere...then after he married LH...they lived with her parents (referring to WS timeline) and he was able, with their help, to go back to school full time.
I wonder how that felt to him...being back in school...but not "free." LH was pregnant,living with the parents. Obligations, responsibilities...
Ferris Bueller got lucky...LH and her family supporting him...but it came at a price IMO.
I know he has a stepbrother...he testified at the hearing I believe. But was he an only child? I haven't read too much about the family history. What about Leanna? Does she have siblings?
Mr. McRea met Mr. Harris in 1996 during a youth group trip sponsored by the University Church of Christ, which both men’s parents attended. While Mr. Harris ultimately chafed at some of its strictures, his was a relatively gentle rebellion: He occasionally hung out in Tuscaloosa’s raucous college bars and, as an obsessive guitar player, he was not fond of the church’s ban on instrumental music during worship services.
Mr. Harris graduated from high school in 1999 and worked a series of jobs around Tuscaloosa, including as a police dispatcher and campus mail clerk. In 2006, he married Leanna, an aspiring dietitian.
She eventually prevailed upon Mr. Harris to return to college, Mr. McRea said. Mr. Harris enrolled at the university in 2009 and pursued a degree in management information systems. Mr. McRea said that his friend, as a 28-year-old new university student, began hanging out with underclassmen and falling back into the life of a college student, sometimes keeping late hours that his wife would nag him about.
