I think if Ricci had had an unlimited source of heroin--which of course would require lots and lots of money--and had just used it freely, he wouldn't have been able to hold his job even for the month or 6 weeks that he did, and I don't think he'd have been up for burglary, abduction, or anything else.

Like most people stuck with this stuff as a craving, I imagine he used when he could afford it. I have wondered if someone at Neth's might have been a source, and if Ricci would periodically put up his jeep for "security" to get heroin which he would then pay for as soon as he got the money.

You know what? In that 29-yr rap sheet, I don't recall reading of any charges of possession of any drug. He apparently managed to not ever get caught with anything. Does this, to you, indicate that he never illegally used drugs?

Ricci has reportedly admitted to a long history of drug abuse........and apparently he DID get caught at least once while he was in prison. I have no question about Ricci's PAST drug use. As I said before, I'm just asking for some documentation to support the speculation that CURRENT drug use might have been a factor in making Ricci more likely to have committed this crime.

Now........if I go to bed, can I trust you not to keep this up behind my back?? I'd hate to wake up to a barrage of posts in the morning.......(smile)

Night.....
