Warrent to Get Bullet From Teen's Head

Bump.

"We know he's not a criminal," she said. "He's a good kid." :wink:

Yeah, that's why he has a bullet in his forehead.

It'll be interesting to follow the legal arguments on this one.

When it's that obvious, and there is evidence to implicate the kid, I fail to see why the law would protect him. On the other hand, someone I know personally broke into a bank; they had a perfect imprint of his shoe in the mud, but he successfully kept the shoe away from them. The evidence against him may not have been so compelling, however. He went on to serve sentences for similar and other crimes.

He should consider himself lucky that he didn't get a fatal case of lead poisoning.

Ah, the power of Mother Love--even when the beloved son has Gone Wrong.

I wonder whether he has a paid lawyer or a zealous public defender.

If only the bullet could cause gangrene.

It's all very well to get grumpy about it.......but the medical ethics ARE very interesting.


Personally, if I were a doctor, I would consider myself unable to perform the surgery.

I am surprised nobody has done it, though.


Hell, there are doctors killing people in state executions, and doctors supervising torture.

I suspect it is the fact that an operating theatre is needed, hence some sort of institutional ethical process is triggered, that is causing the delay.
