Nupe - I think $3k as opposed to $250k seems paltry.

I agree. Seems like a petty trick.

Also, it seems almost criminal to me that a man with a history of hypertension received no medication while in prison and has subsequently suffered a near fatal attack.

And don't flame about how "bad" Ricci is -- the fact is, he had not been charged in the Smart case or brought to trial. I thought Ed Smart showed an air of relief when Ricci became ill and now I'm more convinced he IS relieved for some reason unknown to the public -- thought I can make a couple of guesses.

I think Ed and Lois Smart sincerely are devastated by their daughter's disappearance, but also (he particularly) are anxious that the full story not be revealed.

This was a pretty frank admission they weren't giving him his medicatio and I'm waiting for an answer myself.
