Two years ago, Tucker checked into an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility. He watched “Rocky” and felt inspired from the training sequence montage that he could get clean and make something of his life. At the bill signing, Turner held up a printout photo from her son’s journal, tearfully reading aloud.
