track 70: Jasmine lynn
Summary: Jasmine Lynn, 19, had plans to go out one night during her Fall 2009 semester. Jasmine, who was a sophomore at Spelman College, was especially looking forward to her friend's party at nearby Clark Atlanta University. It seemed like a typical night until a fight breaks out just outside of her friend's campus apartment. Now, detectives must rely on the accounts of witnesses to piece together what really happened on the early morning of September 3, 2009. Would their statements help make or break this case?
