LaBrie Found Guilty of Murder

On the stand in her own defense 38 year old Kristin LaBrie testified that her son Jeremy was diagnosed with autism at age two.  LaBrie told jury she followed the instructions from her son’s doctors for the first four phases of treatment . . . Lawyers batted the fact around that she had been treated for depression with Celexa and saw a social worker.

“She was largely alone, psychologically, and she had a history of difficulty asking for help and getting services, and as far as I know was struggling to keep her son in school,” Dr. Krell testified.

Medican non-compliance Equals Murder

Major medication non-compliance issues include:
· discontinuing taking your medication prematurely,
· not filling or refilling a prescription due to:
· finances,
· preference for self care measures other than medication,
· perceived lack of benefit
· convenience
· denial
. Depression
Kristin LaBrie, a mother of an autistic child who was being treated for depression. was convicted of the murder of her son Jeremy Fraser because she did not give all of the medications ordered for his non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The chance that his death was caused by non-compliance (85% - 90 % survival rate with full compliance of all 5 stages of chemotherapy) is as high as the chance that diagnosis of Leukemia (1 in 10 patients develop a second cancer within 10 years after receiving chemotherapy) was actually caused by the chemotherapy prescribed by the doctor.
