Martin's attorney, Joshua Sutherland, said his client has been ridiculed on every EMT-related Internet site and chat room available, and along with the attention the accident has received on a national basis, the strain has become almost unbearable for him.

Awwwww, poor little baby...Courtney Hilton is soooo much luckier than him!

"So many factors aligned at the same time causing this tragedy to happen," said Sutherland. "He has to relive that day for the rest of his life. I know that whatever decision the court makes today is not going to bring Courtney's family the satisfaction they are looking for. ... If any case deserved mercy, this one does."

CAUSING this tragedy to happen!!!???!! CAUSING!!! Like what was done to Ms Hilton was an act of God, and not an Act of Idiot.

Before Moore gave his ruling, Martin was remorseful as he apologized to Hilton's family as he stood before the court. "I never meant to do it," said Martin as he sobbed loudly.

Yes, you did, and no, this case does NOT deserve mercy, as the idiot lawyer stated...The original article made it plain that Martin used the defrib on Hilton immediately after she chastised Martin for jacking around with it and told him to put it up. He certainly did not mean for her to die, but he meant to cause her discomfort, maybe even pain. I said then and I'll say it again : I believe he did it because he was angry that a mere female DARED to tell him what to do.

Thanks for adding that background. You are probably right about his "motivation" as well.

He'll be lucky to have a career as a burger flipper. I wouldn't hire him to clean my privy.
