“Chuck Coma sofreu uma lesão cerebral por hipóxia depois que seu colega de cela o estrangulou na penitenciária federal em Lewisburg, Pensilvânia, privando seu cérebro de oxigênio. Desde então, ele tem sofrido de perda de memória, alterações extremas de humor e tremores ocasionais.

Antes das guerras, ele era um pouco encrenqueiro, mas não tinha problemas sérios com a lei. Quando ele deixou o serviço, não conseguiu segurar um emprego e começou a assaltar bancos”.
