LOS ANGELES — They looked like just another couple getting on in age, walking along a suburban street in the last hours of daylight.
They had met in the fourth grade. He went to prison; she got on with her life. Over the years, she heard rumors that he'd become affiliated with the Mexican Mafia.
When he got out of prison for the last time, 50 years after they first met, she asked if he'd left all that behind. She wanted to believe him when he said yes.
