This message is for Chris's lawyers, family and advocates. I am willing to help in any way God wants me to help you. Please let me know. There is a saying that a whole village is needed to raise a kid, there should be a whole bunch of villages in the universe to be able to bail this child out of jail and punish the real murders here. tI was watching last night another episode of 48 hrs on this case and it is really disheartening to see Chris going through this without much going for his freedom. I really believe that good people are always the winners at the end. So, together, we should be able to do something about this. I am ready! Thank you for the opportunity. |

I support fully his case regarding innocence of murdering his grand parents - I am depression sufferer and went through a lot of medications for about 12 years now. Zoloft was the first drug prescribed to me and it did make me worst that I developed a natural rejection to the drug. This is case is clearly about Pfizer being the rich side to win this battle. The lawyers and witnesses in its favor were paid for - they have no argument whatsoever - who knows more than the people who have taken the drug and experiencing the side effects? I am lucky that I did murder anyone, but let me tell you - I did have thoughts about it. Pls. let me know if I can do something about this innocent child - don't let him be wasted in jail. He does not deserve it - Pfizer should be able to bail him out if the people who own it have any conscience and lawyers and the judge. Also, do not forget about the abuse and bad environment that Chris has had to endure. Where the statements of all the analysts taken into consideration before the veredict? this case decision should be considered as an aberration of the legal system and a shame to the bad judges, lawyers, organizations making money on the misfortune of others...etc. etc... thank you for the opportunity |

I am appalled at the 30 years Chris Pittman got. Zoloft has been found to lead children under 18 to kill themselves and change their personalities. This case sould go to appeal to the State of appeals to the highist level. Plus having this case wait three years before it even got started is wrong. Shame on the penile system to take advantage of this youth. It was like they wanted him to grow up a bit more so the jury wouldn't see such a small child. The key word there is CHILD. I pray that everyone involved there never has something like this to happen to their family. My prayers are with Christopher. |

I think the medication could definitely have caused Chris to become violent,,,my son was on medication for ADD aderall and abilify which also alters the chemicals in the brain...he became very violent on these and could have definitely did what Chris did had i not immediately taken him off...my son became like a zombie and very violent...i think these medicarions may act different in different people but for some they can be very deadly! |

I think that Chris Pittman was given a raw dealI think with all the crazy side affect's meds.have ,he possibly could not have been in his right mind.And I also think that is was a tragady that he at that age was treated as an adult!Teenager's kil people all the time in these day's and are NOT treated (Charged ) as adult's!I think the jury and the judge should be ashamed of themselve's! I wish I could find out where Chris is so that I could write to him.I feel so sorry for him,and no I am not a teenager ,I am a 55 yr. old Mom.with a son! |

I have been on paxil for years. A few years back my doctor tried to replace it with another medication. I got ahold of my doctor after a week and told her that something was wrong. I wanted to kill things. I wanted to hurt small animals. This is oppisite of my life. I am 55 years old. This happened when I was about 50. I believe that medicine can change you drasticly. I saw your show. I believe you. |

I am wondering if Pittman's lead counsel was trying to lay the foundation for a huge class action suit against Pfizer. His expertise was suing drug companies in civil court. I'm not sure how he was allowed to serve at lead counsel in a criminal case. |

I would like to say that my heart goes out to Chris' family for the loss of the grandparents but also for the loss of Chris. I know first hand what zoloft can do to a child if the child has been misdiagnosed. Zoloft is an anti-depressant but if a child is actually bipolar, this drug can cause extreme anger, to the point that it is uncontrolable and can make the child either completely forget about the anger episode or any memory of it seems hazy or like it was a dream. My two daughters were on zoloft because the doctor said they were depressed but they were really had bipolor disorder. I went through some really scary stuff with them until they were taken off the drug. I'm talking extreme fits of rage, to include threatening to kill me. One of them took a knife one afternoon while I was at work and tried to stab her older sister. Luckily my oldest daughter got to her room and locked the door. I came home to knife marks all in her door. When I asked my daughter that did it why she did it she replied that she only remembers being extremely angry, uncontrobably angry, and the rest of it was a blank.
I think these drugs are good for people who are depressed but I think the doctor's ignore the warning signs that occur that point to a child being misdiagnosed. I think Cris should be evaluated again to see if he is bipolar and given the appropriate medication but I do not think he belongs in prision. |

Psychiatry is FRAUD. Their medicine does nothing but hurt children. My daughter was prescribed to zoloft and right away she became a different person. She was having fits of rage. she kept telling me that she wanted to kill herself and kill me. The DR told me it would get better. He kept waiting for the meds to "kick in" and that it takes a few months in some children but I knew the meds were making it worse. The only reason that I did not take her off of them was because the DR told me and I had read in various articles that it was dangerous to take kids off meds cold turkey. I kept telling myself that I would ween her off after a few weeks. I kept waiting for it to get better and it never did. My ex husband found her dead in her room after she was on Zoloft for 7 weeks. She hung herself. 12 year old girls do not just kill themselves. These drugs are dangerous and mind altering. I have been doing research for the past 3 years about this. All of the school shootings, Andrea Yates, who drown her 5 kids, Teens commiting suicide... They are all victims of psychiatric abuse. There are so many documentaries and books about this. Why is this still happening in our country. These people should be put out of business. I know that my daughter did not kill herself. The drugs killed her. There are so many other mothers like me. I have spoken with parents who have had their children commit suicide or acts out in violence while on psych meds. I have even had contact with the Mother of Eric Harris who was one of the killers in the Columbine Massacre. She, too blames her sons behavior on the drug he was taking, LUVOX. This is too much to be coincedense! I'm researching to find out if this 8 year old was taking medicine. There are hotlines that you can call through the Citizen Commission for Human Rights (CCHR) to take your son to a psychologist who appreciates cases like mine and who work with the direct problem by talking about it and digging up anger that's hidden deep inside of you and these psychologists recognize pharmecuticals as fraud and will work with you to fix your problems without meds. After my daughter died it took me so long to find a great doctor. Every one tried to put me on anti depressants as soon as I walked in the door of their office. Years ago, When you got a divorce or lost a child you relied on your friends and family for support. Now they just put you on drugs. When I was a kid and I spoke with my mother about when she was a kid ... there were no school shootings and kids hanging them selves... and we never knew any one to take psych meds. Now, everyone is prescribed to them. I hope you take time to look further into this and spread my message to help to keep this from happening to other families. Thank you for your time and support. PLEASE HELP OUR FIGHT |

After threatening to harm himself and suffering other emotional incidents, the boy was diagnosed as clinically depressed. His lawyers said Pittman was then given Paxil, a mild antidepressant no longer recommended for those under 18. |

This guy shouldn't be set free. He murdered two people!! His own grandparents! At age 12. I think any child at age 12 knows that murdering your grandparents is WRONG. He also set fire to the house.
I've taken zoloft and paxil as an antidepressant. Both helped me feel better and I didn't experience any side effects - I didn't even get nausea. I have a hard time believing that these medications would produce severe enough side effects to kill! You have got to be kidding me.
This guy needs to be held accountable for his actions. |

Years ago I too was on Zoloft. After several months on the drug something unpredictable and very dangerous happened...I almost killed someone with a baseball bat. If it wouldn't have been for a slight distraction I would be, as with Christopher, in prison.
I have just published a book, The House on Telegraph Hill, that details my life as a victim of childhood abuse. Included is my dreadful experience with the SSRI's and in particular Zoloft. That ordeal is talked about on page 341, paragraph 3.
If you need verbal support on Christopher's behalf such as a written statement and/or would like me to send you a copy of my book then please give me your mailing address and I will do so.
Sincerely, Bill Cairns (aka Charles S. Wilson). |
