the jury did not believe him and found corey guilty. on june 25tth, 1991, he was sentenced to life and shipped off to a maximum security prison. just like that, he was out of malcolm s life. corey left when i was no more than 13, and that was hard. to fill the void, malcolm started to hang out more with de marchoe carpenter, a lanky basketball player and neighborhood jokester. i was going to be a comedian. you know, i used to think i was so funny. i always tell jokes, and get the girls, and make em laugh. but in north tulsa fun could easily turn tragic in a split second. malcolm and de marchoe were at a party spot late one night in december 1993 when a drive-by shooter hit the place. malcolm was grazed, but de marchoe was badly injured. he was rushed to the hospital, malcolm by his side.
