    True or false: John Coffey killed the Detterick twin girls.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Ahh, they thought he did but Paul figured out it truly wasn't him. It was really William Wharton because he was in the area and John was only trying to save the girls when the police came upon him. He was crying because the poor girls couldn't be saved. Sadly, he was still electrocuted.
