note: pittman stole the grandparents' money and car after he killed them, and then set fire to the house (presumably to cover his tracks). this doesn't sound like drug-induced psychosis--it looks more like a murder-robbery.
to get back to the drug companies: i wouldn't use the pittman case as evidencec against antidepressants. the evidence against antidepressants will be found in the drug companies' own research results, which they seem to have hidden from the eyes of regulators and doctors. if the drug companies have suppressed evidence of suicide in children who were given antidepressants, their own research will be the strongest weapon.
back to pittman: if you give an antidepressant to a child or adult who is sociopathic, the drug might relieve the depression, but he will still be a sociopath.
Please RESEARCH before making judgemental statements. Particularly when doing so on a CHILD who, after all - even if you're right -is LESS able than adults to determine between good and bad. Not MORE guilty because he's a child. Adults have years more experience and opportunities to learn, to be more responsible, than children, so we should be more compassionate shouldn't we?
Try a google search on perhaps

and see what can be learned about the drug's effects.
I can see your point, and might well have agreed with you without having researched, years ago, but research will help to bring more understanding to the drug's effect,often fatal on ADULTS let alone children who are unable to understand or find out why they feel the way they do (and therefore with information being able to avoid acting on the drug-induced psychosis and akathisia).
Would you feel the same if the child had a crooked doctor who had 'prescribed' him large daily doses of LSD, or cocaine?
In fact, the drug he was prescribed is little different. You'll find that out if you research.
Its really necessary to keep an OPEN mind to see the reality of just WHO is guilty and to use that mind, which you and all of us were given from the moment we existed, to
think, research, make conclusions based on what we research, etc rather than coming to conclusions on what we have simply 'accepted' (quite understandably) through years of advertising and other persuasive but biased influences etc.
Hoping you will do this :-) Interested in your more 'informed' views when you have done so.
