Why are we keeping a girl in a vegetative state since 1992? What a miserable life.

What a slimeball.

I maintain a shark tank or croc pit should be the methods of carrying out the death penalty. Open to the public to view.

Now we all know where Sycamore has been........

That is grotesque and shows no class.

I was thinking about the death penalty yesterday and got to wondering why we continue to feed, house, give medical care, etc. etc. to career criminals and others who commit heinous acts....we don't tolerate vicious dogs who bite and we don't let them wander around homeless....IMHO, we should start operating our prisons more like the local animal control shelter, maybe people would take a little more interest in raising their kids to be better citizens....

This is another blatant reason why men and women should have a Living Will with directions to "pulls the plug."

L.W.

Would you?... If the woman was your wife, sister, or daughter?

Actually yes I would. Remember that whomever has medical power of attorney allowed this pregnancy to come to term.

That is grotesque and shows no class.

The mother seems to come off aloof. Maybe I got the vibe wrong. Not sure.

To equate someone w/ different social/political beliefs w/ a degenerate rapist is incomprehensible.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A nurse who was supposed to be looking after an incapacitated woman at a long-term health care facility has been charged with raping her, weeks after the patient stunned her caregivers and family by giving birth to a baby boy , Phoenix police said Wednesday.

Investigators arrested Nathan Sutherland, a licensed practical nurse, on suspicion of one count of sexual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said.

"We owed this arrest to the victim. We owed this arrest to the newest member of our community — that innocent baby," Williams said.

The surprise birth late last month triggered reviews by state agencies, highlighted safety concerns for patients who are severely disabled or incapacitated and led to disciplinary actions and resignations of staffers and managers. It also prompted authorities to test the DNA of all the men who worked at the Hacienda HealthCare facility.

Sutherland, 36, submitted his DNA sample under court order Tuesday and the results came back a few hours later, showing he was a match to the baby. He declined to speak with police and invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, police spokesman Tommy Thompson said.
Sutherland, wearing a T-shirt, black athletic pants and jacket, appeared in court Wednesday. A Maricopa County Superior Court commissioner ordered him released on a cash-only $500,000 bond. He also must wear an electronic monitoring device.

Defense attorney David Gregan had asked for a lower bond on the grounds that Sutherland didn't have a criminal record. He described his client as a family man with young children who has lived in Arizona since 1993.

"There's no direct evidence that Mr. Sutherland has committed these acts," Gregan said. "I know at this point there's DNA. But he will have a right to his own DNA expert."
Gregan did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Investigators found that Sutherland had treated the victim and spent a lot of time with her, according to a probable cause statement. Investigators believe Sutherland raped the patient sometime between February and April.

A former neighbor, Esella Burr, said she lived next to Sutherland, his wife and four children for more than five years. She often saw the couple leave for church on Sundays and they would chat occasionally.
"I can't believe it," Burr said. "He told me he was nurse and he liked his job."
Hacienda officials fired Sutherland after learning of his arrest. The company said it was "troubled beyond words." Sutherland had passed an extensive background check.

"Once again, we offer an apology and send our deepest sympathies to the client and her family, to the community and to our agency partners at every level," Hacienda said in a statement.

The 29-year-old victim has been in long-term care since age 3 and gave birth at the facility on Dec. 29. Employees said they had no idea she was pregnant. As her guardian, the woman's mother was required to submit an annual report to the court that included results of a medical exam.

The case has prompted the departure or discipline of key figures at Hacienda HealthCare, including the CEO. The provider says one doctor who had cared for the woman resigned and another had been suspended.

Earlier stories had described the patient as being comatose or in a vegetative state. But her parents released a statement Tuesday disputing that characterization.

They described her as intellectually disabled because of seizures in early childhood. While she doesn't speak, she has some mobility in her limbs, head and neck. She also responds to sound and can make facial gestures.

The family's attorney, John Micheaels, said in a statement that they knew about the arrest but did not want to comment.

Thompson said he believes the baby has since been released from the hospital. The woman's family has said they will care for him.

Now we all know where Sycamore has been........

They didn't know.

The nursing home never had a clue until she gave birth.

I've met Sycamore a couple of times. He was very helpful in planning a couple of Grand Canyon floats. He's a VERY nice guy and gentleman. Don't agree with all his politics, but nonetheless.

That was uncalled for.

And here it is.

What did you expect when they hired this? We never learn....

Utter incompetence. So they didn't notice she was not menstruating?

I've met plenty like Syc, have no use for their politics and what they want for the U.S. I have kids and I don't want them to have to live with the Consequences of such stupidity, Syc's beliefs are a threat to my children therefore Syc is an enemy of mine. Pretty simple really.

Let me explain so no else gets hurt feelers...........

The comment was made to poke at Syc plain and simple. I've done the same thing to Mannlicher, Steelhead, Whelenman, Kingston, Ironbender, and many others, it's all in fun, well mostly fun.

Syc is located in Arizona, easy poke.

One thing I'll add is I bet Syc got it and I bet it didn't bother him anywhere near as what it did you.

I might have been wrong about Syc all along.........He may be smarter than several here.

You equated him to a rapist, called him an enemy and a threat to your children and a communist. Not my kind of fun.

You didn't hurt my feelings because I doubt if you "poke" others in such a manner in person.


mike r

Media calls it a "devout Christian"...what a joke.

Don’t waste your time Paul.

I guess my reading comprehension skills need polishing. Since the communists are such a threat what have you done, personally, to mitigate that threat? Denigrating others then waffling on the intent of your statement is hardly a strong moral stand.

But carry on w/ your manly self and I will try not to melt.



mike r

Shows just how hard up a despicable POS like this guy is to be having sex with a woman in a vegetative state. Even Cosby didn't stoop that low.

I did all of the above, The "Equating" was done in jest, I in no way called Syc a rapist and I'll bet he understands that. All communist closet or open are a threat to me and my children I don't know why you can't understand that.

And yes I poke many in the same manner whether face to face or not, I usually only poke those I know can take it as I usually don't like to hurt feelers as you never know who is gonna melt and who is going to laugh and poke back.

I'll definitely remember if something weird happens in Las Vegas not to poke fun at you, I wouldn't want you to melt. You need to loosen up a bit, being uptight is bad for your heart.

Seriously Paul? WTF is wrong with you? I know I can come off quite brash, but have just the slightest empathy. This is exactly how lvmiker came into this world.

I've met Sycamore a couple of times. He was very helpful in planning a couple of Grand Canyon floats. He's a VERY nice guy and gentleman. Don't agree with all his politics, but nonetheless.
