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).
I earlier had placed the line concerning SSRI substitution to make the point that dosages and substitutions cannot be directly compared (the previous writer was bandying about dosage ranges and pharmacological terms as if to build a case against Pittman's guilt). I'm no pharmacologist, but I do know that a physician making such a change isn't entirely out in left field. It's so easy to blame bad behavior on medicines.
[edit] ===========================================================
So more or less everything you've said to me above, is about as valid as everything you claim is wrong with this article? This isn't an isolated thing, other people have had the same thing happen, and have actually gotten full pardons. Frankly, I think this article states it as plainly as anything without taking either side on the issue, despite knowing personally that the author has a stance he feels passionately about.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.51.76.241 (talk • contribs) 19:29, April 20 2007.
[edit] Middle name

[edit] The sentence
The sentence I removed talks in his voice without (really) giving him credit. When I read it I get the feeling that whoever wrote the article is on good terms not only with Pittman but with his mania. That isn't apropos. --VKokielov (talk) 03:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] and the other side?
There is a side, you know, that holds that he was a murderer, like all the other murderers that try to squirm and wiggle their way out of their punishments. Now where is the accusing evidence for that side? --VKokielov (talk) 03:29, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
