    investigation by the RCMP, was yesterday found not criminally responsible
    for actions he committed while off the medication.

    in contact with the law until he stopped taking his prescribed
    anti-psychotic medication and started taking Empowerplus in 2001. The

    I can guarantee that the anti med jerks will use this to prove it was the
    medications that caused it.

    Of course they will. This is how they attack Prozac, by talking about
    how people become more inclined to attempt suicide after stopping the
    drug. The fact that it is prescribed for people who may be suicidal in
    the first place is deliberately ignored.

    So can the victims of his criminal actions sue the vitamin
    company?

    politicians invoking morality and children - grab your wallet and/or
    your kid and run for your life.

    Of course. Just do not ask Peter Breggin to testify, as he claims that
    individual action is not affected by chemcials, unless the chemcials are
    medications used totreat condtions which may be charactrerized by the
    behavior.
