The two youths were accused of murder but had a cousin that was willing to be their defense attorney.

The clip with Pesci and the great Fred Gwynne is one I remember every time I see the word youth.

It's hard to wrap my head around why Fred's grave is unmarked. No one seems to know a reason.

Taking the lyrics from the song Ooh La La, "I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger" and add 'I wish I was young again with all of that knowledge.' 

Even though growing up was sometimes a struggle, as you grow older it doesn't look so bad, and when you start losing the ability to do many of the things you did when you were younger, you - at least I - wish I was young again.

My first memory of Fred Gwynne was when he appeared on You Are There as Davy Crockett.  My Grandfather was quick to tell me Davy Crockett was under six feet tall and probably the same height he was (5 feet, 8 inches), I realized how miscast Gwynne was at 6 feet, 6inches tall.  Then later cast Fess Parker (6 feet, 5 inches tall) was cast by Disney to play Crockett.  Then later, John Wayne was cast as Crockett for the film The Alamo, so I guess Crockett's legend made him seem taller than he actually was.  

However, my favorite memory of Fred Gwynne when I watch him on the old TV show Car 54 Where Are You as Officer Muldoon.  He was still married to his second wife when he died, and had four living children from his first marriage at the time of his death, it may have been a family disagreement, possibly over the estate, and that's why his grave has no marker.
