Magruder, when exactly did you become a Doctor? Leave the cause of death to the coroner and real medical professionals.

Magruder, I played football for four years and we ran our butts off in 90-100 degree temperatures. No one died, no one was permanently maimed and this was 15 years ago. We ran our butts off and no one died, no one got hurt, etc. Maybe the kids now aren’t in the best of shape or maybe they are on other meds like was alleged in this case. That’s for the coroner and doctors to determine and the jury to convict or acquit him.

Kids today aren’t in very good shape anyway and playing contact sports in 90-100 degree temperatures at 75 percent humidity is going to take it out of a person. Even if they have frequent water breaks, it will happen. We were actually warned not to drink too much water or you would end up getting sick.

Plus, Adderall is known for causing dehydration. Not to mention use of creatine is not exactly a good thing in this case either. From what news reports say, its also using creatine which acts as an accelerant.

So before you start popping off about what you know, learn something first instead of having a hunch.

By the way, I’m not passing judgment on Stinson’s guilt — that’s the job of the jury.

It was heat stroke, not dehydration, that caused Gilpin’s death. Exclaiming that it wasn’t dehydration and ignoring the equally bad cause of Gilpin’s death doesn’t exactly help Stinson’s side.

The Stinson case is not a slam dunk for the prosecution. You already have doctors saying Gilpin was not dehydrated and the ADHD drugs he was on was a contributing factor along with the bonehead decision not to preform an autopsy. Stinson has to be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. I see whole lots of doubt that his actions caused Gilpin’s death.

“Judy’s Crappy Public Show of Trouble”

Hey Jude, with all the crap you bring before the Metro Council, you should have made an exception for yourself on your “pull up your pants” ordinance. It would have saved you a lot of time and trouble not to have to lift your trousers so constantly (especially if you have a wide stance).

There won’t be an appeal because I believe he will be found not guilty.

Why they are even bothering covering this is beyond me. There has been so much crap in the pretrial that they might as well skip this one and move on to the inevitable appeal.
