My son was not yet convicted of any crime, but this violation removed his “withhold of adjudication” and he now was a convicted felon. Unable
to get even the most menial job because of this and all the other monumental injustice heaped on his young shoulders, he turned to
prescription drugs as a way to cope. �I did not know until the end he was doing this. He had no health insurance and no money. He found a
local “feelgood” doctor” who we are now also pursuing for malpractice. �My son was given methadone for simple pain!! �Methadone is unlike
all other narcotics in that it accumulates in the body for up to 72 hours while the pain relief or “buzz” lasts only 8 hours. �Even taking the drug
as prescribed can kill you. I should know, in that I’m a clinical pharmacist with 25 years experience. We don’t have the toxicology report back
�yet, but it’s pretty certain what it will show.(if you want a scare about methadone see the website www.harmd.org)
My son was never an rso, but the prosecutor made sure he appeared that way by giving him many of the sex offender conditons. �She
effectively ruined his life anyway. I recently talked to her boss and reminded him of how i had begged for my son’s life last March. He said
“sorry for your son’s poor choices”!!! �THey left him no choices but bad ones. �I don’t blame him, I just miss my boy and sometimes want to die
myself.
