Wrestler Benoit’s doctor gets 10 years in prison

NEWNAN, Ga. (AP) — The personal doctor to a professional wrestler who killed himself, his wife and their 7-year-old son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs to patients.

Dr. Phil Astin was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty Jan. 29 to a 175-count federal indictment.

Wrestler Chris Benoit killed his family and then himself in 2007 in their suburban Atlanta home. A medical examiner couldn’t say whether the steroids Astin prescribed for Benoit played a role in the deaths.

U.S. District Judge Jack Camp said there was no doubt the 54-year-old Astin tried to help hundreds of patients at his western Georgia clinic. But the judge said he could not overlook the fact that at least two patients died as a result of Astin’s misconduct.

Do You Still Think It Was All Benoit’s Fault That He Killed Himself And Family Yes Or No? Why?

My two friends and I are in college and wanted to spend a day just hanging out in Stone Mountain in Georgia…but apparently it’s more of an amusement park than a place where you can simply enjoy the scenery. This is disappointing, because we weren’t looking for any rides or entertainment, we just wanted to maybe hike or bring a picnic or something. Is there anything free in Stone Mountain park? Or is there a way you can get into the park for free without using any of the rides or attractions?
Ugh, this is a frustrating expense.

I want to go this week and I have on my debit card for food but do the food stands take debit cards? Or is there an atm in the park?

I am 16 years old about to be 17 soon and I still dont have my license I live in Newnan, Ga I dont have my permit either can I just get my license or do I have to hold a permit for a year still. is there a certain place were I can just get my license I dont want to be 17 and just geting my permit.

Austin,

You are hereby on formal notice that if you continue to post and spread false rumours about Metropolis, you and your parents will receive formal notice of a lawsuit. The circumstances surrounding your notice not to return to Metropolis was for liability and defamation reasons that was made by the lawfirm representing Metropolis, both of which you and your parents are liable for. Metropolis has been nothing but overly generous with you considering your defamation, disloyalty, offensive, and even possible theft which your name has come up on a few occassions by customers. Nevertheless, Metropolis gave you numerous chances to correct your behavior but your defamation and outright slander was the last straw.

I strongly recommend that you notify your parents immediately to hire an attorney so you clearly understand the legal consequences of your past and current behavior. We already have people hearing from you and witnessing your outright false and defamatory statements but we also have meticulous record at Metropolis of complaints against you for your behavior and possible theft. The decision was made by the lawfirm that you should not be allowed to return to Metropolis until further notice due to investigation and legal case against you due to customer complaints, as well as your recent illegal behavior. Your immaturity indicates and confirms you have no idea what legal liability you and your parents as guardian are are facing but that’s up to you as to how irresponsible and reckless you want to continue to handle this, ultimately leading to you and your parents becoming involved in what has turned out to be a legal matter for the lawfirm to handle on behalf of Metropolis.

This is your last and final notice. We expect that you will be smart enough to hire an attorney and have him or her, as well as your parents contact me immediately to discuss this legal matter. Please have your parents and/or your attorney contact my office immediately to see if Metropolis is even amenable to not pursuing legal action for defamation and possible theft, depending on whether you retract and/or discontinue your defamatory statements.

We are sending you a courtesy message through your facebook but you and your parents will be receiving in the mail a formal legal notice within 7 days unless you retract your statements immediately.

Govern yourself accordingly,

Thumbs up one and all Remember to come back and give thumbs up to those who have answered after you. I pick from all over the answers! not just from the first few folks.

Stagelady I agree with you on Video they can have it disappear also.
Good luck with your classes CrazyH! Keep calm all will work out.
From 1/12 question and n7ybh: I just found out that my grandson’s other great grandparents had their house burn to the ground this morning. Only minor injuries, but great grandpa was just recently diagnosed with cancer. Please keep the family in your prayers. They are in their late seventies, early eighties, and had one of their grandchildren living with them (he’s only 9). The family didn’t have any insurance and still has a loan owing of over 00.
Mary L have never heard of the yahoo group you listed be careful as Doris (radio trivia) is having trouble with her yahoo account, got an email that her password changed and she didn’t do it.
Diane (rxtech) how did your boss react? Will add your friends husband John to our pray’s in need group.
J w I agree I want spring also!
Beecher did you see JaneyDelany’s comment from yesterday?! No comment from you?! Are you feeling okay?

Lincoln made it through surgery with flying colors! They had to do something different then we had thought. The surgeon extended the old incision a little more to the left because the x ray showed a bubble over there. The bubble turned out to be a ball of bowel, stuck under another part of the bowel. As soon as he untangled it, gross as it is, the stoma started working! And because it released waste, and took a lot of pressure out of his tummy, his need for oxygen went way down! So overall he is doing really well, and he said hopefully he will soon be able to start feedings again. Praise God!

Any new Birthdays or Anniversary to add to my list?

Prayers are still being said daily for all of our Trivia Friends and Family and hoping all will continue to get stronger as each day passes.
