Talk:Christopher Pittman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm amazed that a wikipedia article could be one giant excuse for his actions.
Let's present the facts please, not the defense.
This article is to present the facts as argued by both the Defense and the Prosecution because no one knows the real facts in this case. Were we to only put what we know for sure it would be something like this.
A kid was on drugs. Killed his grandparents. Sentenced to 30 years. Supreme Court hearing in 2006. Supreme Court did not delay his transfer to an adult prison during the hearing.
The above leans very extremely in one direction. This article promotes both sides of the story and the evidence given by both sides. We do not judge in court by bare facts, we get testimonies, expert witnesses, etc etc. This is why the article I wrote displays both sides of the story. Thank you. --Padlocke09 21:07, 11 October 2006 (UTC) Padlocke09
[edit] Facile Pharma Excuses
It's probably a low-interest article at this point, and as such little editing attention is brought to bear. I found the assumptions made concerning pharmaceutical 'facts' to be surprisingly facile and not well-stated. Let's face it, the kid probably did have mental health issues and some problems with antidepressant dosage adjustments---but my personal impression is that he is also an antisocial teen who has a homicidal tendency ingrained in his personality. He'll get out when he's 42---probably much earlier---and he'll have a chance to show differently. . . . Comments about his subsequent racial epithets, and his statements to the effect that his grandparents got what they deserved do not lend encouragement to the wholesale excuse that a doctor gave him the wrong medicine in the wrong way. --PLK —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.59.70.21 (talk) 21:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
