hate to bump this thread but any news on the kid?

I haven't read/seen anything since my last post. Aska's arraignment is on March 6th, so hopefully we will get an update then.

Boy thrown from five-story roof awakes from coma, talking to cops

After briefly regaining consciousness, Freddy told cops that Aska, who lives above him, had shown up at his third-floor apartment and then dragged him to the roof.
----
Since his fall, Freddy has been in a medically induced coma, and thus been unable to give cops more information that could contradict Aska’s claims, and bolster the case against him.

That changed in the past several days, when Freddy was removed from life-support equipment at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, began breathing on his own, and came out of the coma, the source said.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Steven Hymowitz, a lawyer for Freddy’s dad, who is also named Freddy Martin. “God was certainly with him.”

Freddy since has been interviewed by detectives. It is not known what he said.

It also mentions that they're filing a lawsuit against the apartment owners too.

God was with him huh? Just not on the roof?

Oh, no. We should charge the guy who said that with something, too.

Oh, no. We should charge the guy who said that with something, too.

It'd be nice if he had thanked or acknowledged the doctors and medical staff who helped a bit too.

I think something analogous whenever someone talks about God helping people who are in a hospital. Nooooo, surely it wasn't the medical staff. It was God.

Why bother going to the hospital if it's all up to God? Just lay there on the sidewalk and bleed. God will help you.

Alright fine.

Why are they going to sue the landlord? When I was a kid we used to pick the locks to get to roofs even when they were really secure. People can't be everywhere at every time.

In America, suing people isn't about who's at fault. It's about who has money. Landlord has money. 17 year old kid doesn't.

I try not to be in denial about it but yes it's very sad.

Because the Landlord left the door to the roof unlocked after several complaints about it.

That answers your question. *You* picked the locks to gain access. The doors on this apartment buildings roof were left open at all times.

That's a problem then. It's still disturbing that people are sue happy for things that are ridiculous and the people being sued usually are also victims.

Decided to check and see if there was any update to the kid, only thing I found was that the 17 y/o is pleading not guilty.

That was expected, since he says it was an accident.
