What was STUPID was when they testified that Scott was taking lethal doses...if they had been lethal, the cops wouldn’t have had a chance to shoot him.

The article I read said the coroner, Alane Olson said he had "potentially" lethal doses of morphine and Xanax in his system. Morphine was nearly six times the normally lethal dosage, Xanax was near the high end of the normally lethal dosage.
