Heading: Cindy Grider

Text: Everett’s sister Grider, who is six years older than Everett, confirmed that the family moved a lot while he was growing up. At some point, she became aware that Everett was “going down the wrong path,” which included drug use. On many occasions, Grider spoke “very frankly” with Everett concerning his drug use and his friends, whom Grider did not consider to be good influences. Grider also did not consider Sidney, who “drank,” to have been a good influence on Everett. Grider had never seen her brother be violent, including when he was on drugs. As to Smith’s mitigation investigation, Grider did not recall Smith ever formally interviewing her, and Smith had only one “very brief conversation” with her. 39 Case: 14-11857 Date Filed: 02/27/2015 Page: 40 of 87
