[Photograph 2012.201.B0053.1105]

Photograph taken for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Thank the good Lord," are the fervent words of thanks uttered by 10 year old Mickey Chervenak after a Pittsburgh coroner's jury Friday cleared him of blame in the fatal shooting of his 31 year old father last week. The boy told the jury his father had beaten both him and his mother, who comforts him in the picture above, before the slaying."
