Would you do this if your brother was in a coma two years?

LAGUNA NIGUEL Simply put, Randy Hall was a sinner and his older brother Alan was a saint.

Their mother, in fact, used to joke that if Randy were a little more like Alan, and Alan were a little more like Randy, they'd both be better.

But no such luck. As a teenager, Randy robbed neighbors' homes, grew pot in the attic and dropped out of high school. Later he schmoozed his way into business where he became rich and arrogant, snorting coke and treating women like so many playthings.

Alan, on the other hand, believed in service to others. By age 8, he was cooking the family dinner each night. He became an honor student who counseled his parents through tough times, married and became a search-and-rescue volunteer.

The brothers loathed each other.

And then one night their lives changed forever. Something would cause their mother's wish to come true - making Randy more like Alan and Alan more like Randy.

But oh, it started horribly. And bloody. In a fit of blind rage...
