Adds that Willingham writes poetry and draws. Including this adds a more humanistic quality to a man who would otherwise have been stripped of his mortality and soul by those who would have deemed him a sociopath. This allows readers to sympathize with him and makes readers think about how a man who writes and draws can kill his own flesh and blood. He continues with his case when he adds the part where Willingham found out that his appeal had been rejected. The grandmother adds that they didn't even give an explanation because they deliberated in secret and didn't even have to review Willingham's materials. It gives the reader a sense of angst for Willingham regarding the fact that the council does not have a specific set of criteria by which to judge him. This was the last stage Willingham was on and it seemed his life had not been taken seriously by the council. It reveals how flawed this system is. Grandma says Willingham even tried to study law to effectively defend his case. This gives the reader the feeling that Willingham is trying to prove his innocence to the best of his ability rather than giving.
