White survivor to black murderer: 'I want to make an impact on his life...'   FAYETTE COUNTY, Pa. —He was 12 when he was shot and stabbed. His family was killed while he was on the couch. The only survivor of a horrific attack is now an adult, speaking about his forgiveness. Larry "RJ" Bobish Jr. said he was always at peace when it came to thinking about the man who killed his family. In April 2002,Mark Duane Edwards Jr., then 19, shot and killed Bobish's father in the kitchen of the family's home. He then shot and killed Bobish's mother, Joanna, and pregnant sister, Krystal, who was 17. The crimes stemmed from an argument over drugs. "He shot me while I was just sitting there," said Bobish. He can remember it like it was yesterday. Bobish used his arm to shield his face. The bullet went through his hand, grazed his ear, then into his back. It is still lodged in his body today. He was stabbed and slashed in his lower lip, arm and neck. He lost consciousness but woke up to the sounds and smells of the house on fire. Edwards had tried to destroy the crime scene. Bobish managed to make it out of the house and collapsed in his driveway. Last month, Gov. Tom Corbett signed Edwards' death warrant. Execution is scheduled in January. - (Black-on-white) | ||
