what happened to tyrone after he killed eric?

Jesse Rankins aka tyrone one of the killers [ he is 18 in this picture]
he committed a sexual assault three years after killing Eric Morse
but in 2001 when he was 18 yrs old he was set free

this is Eric the 5 year old killed


So I was reading chapter 10 in Our America and i actually got a little mad. Thinking about how two boys set up a 5 year old who was doing the right thing telling his mother that people were pressuring him to steal. Its a shame that a 5 year old knew right from wrong but two older boys didn't. The sad part is this was no freak accident this was set up and done on purpose. I started looking at the pictures and the one that stood out the most was the picture of the apartment. I sat there looking at the picture of 10 minutes visualizing how Tyrone and Johnny basically dangled eric him out the window. I know for a fact that no one would sit and let some people dangle there brother out of a window without screaming and crying and trying to help him back up and know if you were being hung out of a window you would be crying, I just got a deep dark feeling from the picture, sadness and regret. and i wondered what went through Erics and his brothers head, the messed up part about this whole situation. Derrick ( Eric's bro) ran Fourteen flights to catch his brother before he hit the ground; i wondered what he thought when he got down to the bottom and realized he missed him.
i also wondered when derrick realized the first time they weren't playing and dangled his brother out the window why didn't he leave after he saved him the first time. was it because they were scared or was it because they were forced to stay in there? i know its probably more to the story that derrick probably hates to deal with everyday of his life. but i just wondered.
anyway.. i couldn't find Johnny the other dude who was involved or a picture of Derrick
