Please Help Christopher Pittman, 15
Anonymous:
This is the boy recently sentenced to 30 years hard time in South Carolina for the murder of his grandparents. Chris was 12 years old and had recently been put on first Paxil and then Zoloft. He did not get a speedy trial. He was held in juvenile detention for 3 years. Just like the dirty little secret that blew the lid off the Catholic Church .... The Pharmaceutical Industry needs to be exposed for their crimes. Chris was prescribed a drug by a country doctor (a GP) who gave his grandparents the drugs in a paper bag with the instructions written on the outside. This doctor, however well intentioned, failed Chris in the worst way imaginable. Please help by signing the petition which can be found by clicking the link below. Thank you.

Sorry, but this is not a legitimate excuse for killing. Those drugs DO NOT cause you to kill people. This is just some crap cooked up by a lawyer to try and not hold a person responsible for their actions.

Any drug that messes with your head can have unpredictable results.
But how much do we know about the case? Was the boy truly mentally ill? Was he seen by a specialist, and if not, why not, and who was monitoring his response to the medication?
It's one thing to willingly take something to get high, and commit a crime, and something totally different to take a "legal drug" that's prescribed for you, and commit a crime because it had an adverse effect on your noggin.

Sara,
Did you watch this trial on Court TV?
This kid totally Pre-meditated this whole thing.
Sorry. I am the mom to 2 grown boys, and I really really wanted to believe that this boy was really messed up on Zoloft---but sometimes we just have to accept it: Sometimes there really are just some bad ones out there.
This kid killed his grandparents. Burned down the house to cover it up. Drove away from the scene in a car. All this at age 12.
And he was "upset"....just didn't want to obey.
Sorry: he just has to pay the price.

No, I didn't... I barely watch TV at all. That's why I asked the questions... they weren't rhetorical.
