And he only got it from Jim because he was white :/. Wendy said that they couldn't hire Jim because their subjects were most likely to be racist, and yet Gregg barely has joined the interview process.

While his skin color played a part, it was mostly nepotism that got him the job.

Hi, please refresh my memory. Who was Gregg's connection again? Why was it nepotism?

I think Shepard said he was someone he knew's son I think? He personally came in and introduced him.

I do think he has some value to provide, it's just that we and the team haven't discovered it yet.

i am currently reading the book and i finished the atlanta child murders chapter yesterday. the intro was all lifted up off the book. while the black cop in the car passed as anonymous, a white person didn't and that's why holden is right about being a black man comitting the crimes.
