Search for children in care home who became guinea pigs for drug Industry Ian Johnston And Nicola Byrne [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The young residents of the children's home were herded into the assembly hall and told they were getting an injection. They were given no explanation, only sweets to take their minds off the fear. The Irish children - orphaned or illegitimate - were among hundreds used as guinea pigs in trials of new vaccinations by drug firm Wellcome, now a part of international conglomerate GlaxoSmithKline. Many of those unwillingly experimented upon believe their long-term health was damaged as a result of the research....So far three drug trials involving 211 children have been positively identified by the Laffoy Commission, but it is thought more tests could have been carried out. Some 2,000 former pupils of the so-called `industrial schools' have come forward to say they fear they may have been experimented upon. The tests, carried out between 1960 and 1973, involved vaccines for conditions such as rubella, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus and polio." http://www.news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=684512003

Man Whose Case Led to High Court Ruling on Confinement of Sexual Predators Arrested Again 6/20/03 Kansas City, Mo. (AP) - "A convicted sex offender whose case led to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling setting guidelines on keeping sexual predators locked up after their sentences end has been charged with a rape committed after his release. Michael T. Crane, 41, was arrested Wednesday and charged with attacking a woman in her car...Earlier, he got probation in 1987 for attempted forcible rape and two counts of sex abuse in Missouri. In the 1994 case, he was sentenced to 35 years to life on his convictions for kidnapping, attempted rape and attempted sodomy. But the convictions were overturned on technical grounds by the Kansas Supreme Court in 1996, and the following year Crane pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated sexual battery. He was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison. As he was approaching release, the state sought to have him kept in confinement, and a jury determined him to be a violent sexual predator. The Kansas Supreme Court overturned that finding, but Crane remained in confinement while the state appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Last year, the court ruled in a 7-2 decision that states must prove that convicted sex offenders can't control themselves if they are to be confined after they finish their prison terms." http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGANVRGH6HD.html www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
