You kill me
Rafael Garcia in his own words
For the last year, Rafael Garcia, who qualifies for tens of thousands in assistance through Medicaid, has gone completely without the home-care nurses and physical therapists he needs. The home-health agencies say they don’t have the staff to provide for him, but it’s starting to look more like retribution for his mother’s whistleblowing.
Dec. 10, 2008, San Antonio Current, By Greg Harman
From his elevated bed at Methodist Children’s, Rafael is vacillating between dreams of becoming the first wheelchair-bound NBA coach and the compounding reality of the genetic disorder that has landed him in the hospital with pneumonia for the second time in a month.

Barry and Candi Bust Cops In Odessa!!
TX Cops Get Busted
Barry Cooper’s new reality show ‘Kop Busters’ gets the footage for its pilot on 12/4/08.
It’s called an informant plant. The Odessa narcotics unit illegally compelled an informant to plant drugs on Yolanda Madden. The informant testified in federal court he planted the drugs on her and he passed a polygraph confirming the same. Yolanda also passed a polygraph along with a hair follicle and urine test. Our broken criminal justice system ignored the evidence and railroaded her through court sentencing her to 8 years in prison.
