Cotton Weary was the one who was framed by Sidney for killing her mother. He was found guilty and was going to be gassed. After Stu and Billy were discovered, he was set free. Now all he wants is a little Diane Sawyer. He wants more attention from the public. Sidney , who still doesn't like him and feels guiltly about her accusation, won't give him an interview. Though he tries hard to convince her to do it, he doesn't get her to say yes until she's being threatned by Mrs. Loomis and shoots her on the condition that Sidney gave him an interview. Finally he got the publicity he wanted,and became a hero.
