Big Pharma executive Kills Son with Xanax and Ambien and Only Gets Manslaughter

A millionaire prior Big Pharma executive was recently found guilty of manslaughter in a NY Court. Gigi Jordan fatally drugged her developmentally disabled son in a luxury New York Hotel. Recently CNN reported the court proceedings on how Gigi Jordan carried out the killing. “Little Jude Mirra's vocabulary was limited. He typed on a BlackBerry to communicate with her.
"We were typing throughout some period of time. We were saying goodbye to each other," Jordan told the Manhattan jury on Thursday during her second-degree murder trial. She began to cry.
"At some point, I put the pills together," she recalled. "I gave him the pills."
"Which drugs did you give him more of?" defense lawyer Allan Brenner asked.
"A lot more of the Ambien," she said. "I gave him more Xanax, but the Ambien is the one I gave him the most of. I gave him Hydrocodone which were large. I was drinking a vodka orange and there was a little left. I broke up the pill and put it into the juice mixed with vodka." end CNN article.
Mrs. Jordan was charged with murder but got manslaughter and the jury accepted the defense argument that Gigi Jordan acted out of fear for her life. She felt one of her ex-husbands would kill her and that would leave her son alone and susceptible to abuse.
Yet we find out that she is reportedly worth $100 million. With that amount of money can’t you arrange for a guardian to assist you? One can easily protect a child with $100 million in the bank. Additionally, This act was premeditated as she wrote a suicide note and had thousands of pills throughout the hotel room. Pharmaceutical executives are used to death, as they constantly prescribe drugs that don’t work or who side effects will cause suicide. Our opinion is that they don’t value human life. They simply don’t care if you or your child dies because of their drugs. They just market happy people on their drugs. It is a profession of fraud and crime.

Children and adolescents suffering from childhood depression can be well treated by music therapy, a new study found. It can be very unpleasant for children to grow with behavioral disorders and tensions, but a new study conducted by researchers from the Northern Ireland, along with the Queens University at Belfast; has provided an apposite way out to treat these depressions.
The researchers observed and analyzed record of 251 subjects, accused of emotional predicaments. The study occurred between March 2011 and May 2014 and was funded by the Big Lottery Fund. The research was conducted by Sam Porter, of the School of Nursing and Midwifery at Queen’s University who divided children into two groups. He said, “This study is hugely significant in terms of determining effective treatments for children and young people with behavioral problems and mental health needs”.

The first set received only traditional method of medication involving some natural therapies while the other set was assigned with an additional musical therapy along with conventional methods.
After the trial, surprising consequences were noted. The duster of children, who acquired musical therapy in conjunction with customary therapies, showed up an astounded self-esteem and confidence with decreased depression. While, on the contrary, the other group showed comparatively less significant results. Besides this, the children aided by musical therapies were better in communicating and interacting skills.
“This is the largest study ever to be carried out looking at music therapy’s ability to help this very vulnerable group, and is further evidence of how Queen’s University is advancing knowledge and changing lives”, said Dr. Valerie Holmes, Centre for Public Health, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, co-researcher of the study.
Music is an engrossing remedy for treatment of emotional, behavioral and developmental disorder. Till now, only theoretical proofs were available of working of musical therapies and now researchers have a pragmatic approach to the treatment. The study was presented at a conference in Riddle Hall at Queens University.
