- List-id: "Discussion List for sexual assault educators and counselors on campus." <sapc.list.mail.virginia.edu>
In 2005, Illinois v. Mertz - the supreme court of illinois ruled that there
is no data whatsoever that lariam is causally connected to violent behavior
in 2002 - US v Mezvinsky -- a federal court ruled there was no evidence
linking lariam to psychosis or irrational decision-making --
in short -- while any defense rooted in methodologically sound science should
be presented to a jury - there is no evidence that lariam is causally
connected to sexual violence or any other criminal activity - thus, while a
defense attorney can easily find a hired gun to testify otherwise - it is
also appropriate for prosecutors to file motions to prevent such testimony as
it is expensive and distracting. ? And nonsensical claims that seek to
mitigate personal responsibility distort rather than elucidate the truth --
