True! Our 18 yo son committed suicide in 2015 and if anyone had been analyzing my behavior at his funeral i would have been deemed guilty 💯! Before his funeral, immediate family was allowed in first.

Typically the 1st few days was quite shock, living in a fog. Until it truly hit me. At some point I just learn how to be silent or still. It's too much grief. The 1st 6 months I don't believe I had a time with dry eyes, nor was I able to function. I needed to find it in me to grab all the strength I could muster to get through it all. Or it would have destroyed me. I still feel the grief today, but I have it hidden and under control. I suspect each persons reaction is specific to them.

They only went by something being in his system, so someone had to have killed him, and without evidence, it was the dentist best-friend (and it may have been, but seriously, no evidence and they pressed so hard to force it??). I sat here puzzled like this is truly a case where things look off, but not so far off that he had to have killed the man. Yet, they went pulling files from 2014, looking at headlights to determine if the car was the same...just far reaching really and expected that to be enough without a reasonable doubt....there is no way they believed that, but they are so big-headed that they thought they can place the blame, pick up a few puzzle pieces, and by-gosh, they are going to be forced to fit whether they do or not.

[@tanchella]

If wife were to nick midazolam from her workplace she would make sure records were correct. If there is a patient who has midazolam on a chart, she can skip their dose and take drug for herself. If there is a system where all empty bottles and ampulles are counted (this is how they do it at my mum's hospital), she could have transfered solution to another container using syringe and return the empty bottle for counting. There are always ways around hospital rules, especially when co-workers trust each other. Police should have searched the house.

I’ve been in law enforcement for 33 years. I also happen to be a Paramedic who has given hundreds of patients Midazolam (Versed). To try and blame this guys death on that trace amount of midazolam in his system is criminal. I’ve given infants this drug to stop them from having a seizure. There is no way that he died from having midazolam in his system. Being in law enforcement, I have also seen how the prosecution picks and chooses what facts to present in their case. If a certain piece of evidence doesn’t help them, they omit it. Now look at what has happen to this dentist that many people loved. He’s in prison for having a fake CIA identification on his computer. Did he ever try to use it? They took away his ability to earn a living by taking his license from him. People wonder why nobody trusts law enforcement. Well, this is a perfect example. This guy went to prison for a crime that has no victim and he can’t work to provide for his family. Why? Because these detectives were wrong and didn’t want to admit it. Really sad.
