Darryl Lester/ Larry P left highschool feeling unsuccessful and not ready for the real world. He could not graduate because he was missing 2 credits. This was especially difficult for him as he had switched schools multiple times due to being placed in unfair programs. One of his highschool programs consisted of working at a grocery store for credits instead of learning.

Due to being consistently denied quality education, Darryl never had the opportunity to learn necessary skills. He lives a content life now but is regretful that he never got to learn to read properly. This is a challenge that he faces every day.

During the case, Darryl was in his early 20s. He was never informed that the case was occurring. Years later, he was told about the important Larry P case.
