politics and politicians Title: DR. BEN CARSON: ‘HIGH LIKELIHOOD DIRECT TRAUMA’ OCCURRED TO FREDDIE GRAY Dr. Ben Carson, likely GOP presidential candidate, said, “I was happy to see that the prosecutor came out sooner rather than later with a statement about a tragic incident surrounded by significant clouds of suspicion.” His statement came after the announcement that six police officers will be criminally charged in the death of Freddie Gray, who died earlier this month while in police custody. As a former neurosurgeon, Carson discussed Gray’s fatal wound. “The type of injury incurred by Mr. Freddie Gray at the base of the cervical spine with significant damage to the spinal cord requires a great deal of direct pressure to that area,” Dr. Carson explained. “It would be almost impossible to acquire such an injury by simply rolling around in a van, regardless of how violently.” Carson said there is a high likelihood that direct trauma had to have occurred. “Let us hope that whoever inflicted said trauma did not intend to yield such an outcome. It is undoubtedly true that this entire situation would be easier on everyone if admission of whatever guilt exists and a full description of what occurred is presented to the necessary authorities,” stated Carson. At the same time, he acknowledged that the vast majority of police officers he has met across the country are caring individuals. “Now it will be up to everyone to peacefully let the legal and judicial process work, and today is a great start per the prosecutor’s actions,” concluded Carson. Poster Comment: "whoever inflicted said trauma" Really? One autopsy fact said that the injury was the result of Gray's head hitting a bolt in the van behind Gray's head. The banging that was reported by the other prisoner (who has since walked it back now that the bros in prison talked some sense into him) is also consistent with a seizure.

#2. To: cranko, misterwhite (#1) Undoubtedly, friends of Gatlin and misterwhite have a lot of explaining to do.
Undoubtedly, you need to learn the cops don’t have to explain anything. Undoubtedly, you need to learn that the cops don’t have to say a single thing, or prove a single thing in their defense. Undoubtedly, you need to learn that the cops can be silent during the entire trial and put on no defense whatsoever. Undoubtedly, unless the prosecution can prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” they committed a crime, they will be judged not guilty. The cops do not have a lot of explaining (testifying) to do because:
At the trial, the prosecutor will have to prove that the cops performed some physical act, with the intent to significantly hurt Freddie Gray. So, smartass….the cops do not have “a lot of explaining to do” and now you know why.
#3. To: Gatlin (#2) (Edited) Undoubtedly, you need to learn the cops don’t have to explain anything. We already know this and that is the problem. oink, oink...
#4. To: out damned spot (#0) One autopsy fact said that the injury was the result of Gray's head hitting a bolt in the van behind Gray's head. That was a reference to an injury on the outside of his head, not to the nearly- severed spinal cord.
#5. To: cranko (#3) We already know this and that is the problem. We already know that one of the biggest problems of our society is ignorance....and you are a classic example of this problem. Snort, snort... You fail to realize and acknowledge that defendants have several constitutional rights. Perhaps the most essential protection is the requirement that the prosecution prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. But defendants have other rights, too, including the right to remain silent. You simply have no idea of what you are talking about when you say the “(cops) have a lot or explaining to do.”
#6. To: out damned spot (#0) Carson said there is a high likelihood that direct trauma had to have occurred. Spoken like a true politician.
#7. To: cranko (#3) "We already know this and that is the problem." Seems to me the "problem" is a glory-seeking, unethical prosecutor who rushed to judgment and overcharged the defendants to the point she'll never get a conviction.
#8. To: GovernmentShrinker (#4) (Edited) I've witnessed severe seizures. They become ramrod straight, stiff as a board and bodily jump, slam up and down and move about to end up in a different position. That could have caused his problem. He had a pre-existing condition. I don't think it would take much to re-injure his spinal problems. In a healthy man, that might be no problem. In a man having spinal operations that did not heal well could certainly re-injure himself under the circumstances. http://www.tedcruz.org Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest |
