RETIREDFAN1 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Good....the DA who filed this should be sent packing next election...what a waste of taxpayer money and court time that could have been better spend prosecuting a real criminal.......
w Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Whereas I feel bad for the kid and this happened, and I truly feel for the parents, I saw a pic of the kid a couple of weeks ago and for 15 years old, I thought he was pretty well-developed. That made me suspicion steroids in the back of my mind. This morning, they say that the kid was taking Atterol (I think for ADD) and a growth hormone and that is what contributed to his death. Saw the mom on the news this AM and I feel her pain, but we can't keep blaming everybody else for our own errors.
