timeline_event

texture · YTSDB (2004), backstory

When: the killing is "four years gone" before the YTSDB scene; Roy Tony's parole is current in-scene
What: Embedded in her narration is Clenette's own backstory: her momma is the woman Roy Tony killed Columbus Epps over, four years earlier in the Brighton Projects; her momma is scared of Roy Tony. Roy Tony is on parole wearing an ankle monitor that confines him to Brighton; his brother is Wardine's father ("gone"). (Roy Tony is NOT Poor Tony Krause — a distinct figure; see Dating notes.)
