When the phone rings and there's a prerecorded voice on the other end, it's usually nothing to cause alarm. But when Flora Coulter's phone rang at precisely 6:07 p.m. Wednesday, the news the prerecorded voice had to bear was shocking. Jerry C. Hunn would be released from prison on Tuesday, May 1, the voice said. "When I heard that I felt like someone struck a knife in my heart. I started screaming and crying," Coulter said. "It hasn't been long enough. I don't guess it will ever be long enough for me. " Hunn was twice convicted of killing her son, Ralph Coulter Jr., in March 2001, after disagreements over a $10 bet on a basketball game and a drug deal escalated into substance-fueled violence that ended with Hunn shooting Coulter in the head.
