Why we talking about bringing a lawsuit against the makers of Zoloft now? It is pretty sick that someone would even think about using these two girls deaths as a way to get rich. It is not going to bring them back and all that money is certainly not going to give that jackass a quick ticket out of prison, he is there for life, get over it. At least he can still see his mother, and she can still see him. The family and friends of those two girls only get to go to a head stone somewhere and talk to cold dirt. I know this is rather blunt but people are starting to get ridiculous. Just let it stop here, justice has been served, maybe not to its full extent, but laws are laws and we have to abide by them, otherwise we end rotting away in prison just like Kyle is going to.
This has nothing to do with money or getting anyone out of prison. Kyle is in prison for life, so we can take that completely out of this discussion. Suing the drug company for punitive damanges is about educating the general public and forcing the FDA and big pharma companies about properly disclosing the adverse affects of their drugs.

Until this all happened, I was as uneducated (and uninterested) in the adverse affects of SSRI's as anyone else. But WOW...the amount of information and number of people who have been adversely affected by these drugs is astronomical! The extent of how duped we are as a society about these drugs is disturbing. The Pharma companies spend billions of dollars targeting our children. The pharma companies fund FDA studies, fund the government. It is all so corrupt. The FDA is supposed to be our watchdog - they are aware of the dangers of SSRI's but continue to approve these drugs because they receive funding from them. Why have other countries banned certain SSRI's, but the US has not?

Before you respond, take some time to review these links, otherwise, keep plugging your ears and keep watching these senseless acts continue on the news:

I understand how you must feel. There is a part of me that felt sorry that I was feeling such relief over the verdict when I knew as soon as that verdict was read there was another family who was crushed. If I could have my way, there would not be one ounce of hatred inside of me because Molly and Katrina would still be alive and none of this would ever have happened. But that just isn't the reality.
I know we exchanged words and I'm sure, like me, you would not take any of them back, but I do appreciate the heartfelt condolences you offer. Likewise, I am truly sorry for the pain and suffering you are experiencing and the torment you must feel.
Matthew, thank you for your kind words. Accepting my condolences means so much. I'll tell you, from my perspective, it's very difficult to know that a family member, who we loved no less, could do something so horrific. We've never really had much adversity - a pretty normal, middle class, average Iowa family. I'm sure like yours, a very loving, close knit family too. I can't express enough how devestated we all are over the loss of those two vibrant lives. Admittingly, it's pretty difficult to go from having a wonderful upbringing, and happy family to complete and utter tragedy, and to feel the hatred of everyone around you. I know what we will endure for the rest of our lives, pales in comparison to your loss.

In spite of what the verdict is, I just cannot watch other lives be ruined by these drugs, who affect so many others. These drugs continue to destroy lives. I just want to expose the danger -whether people want to believe it played a part in this tradgedy or not doesn't really matter any more. I just hope people educate themselves before putting their kids on these horrible drugs.

leave it alone please

its like this...these girls were my cousins. katrina was actually more like a sister. its been a horrible and tragic thing for our family to deal with. there is absolutely NO PROOF at all that kyle was taking his zoloft...him saying he took it, is all that there is. that doesn't mean crap. let these girls rest in peace and leave this all alone. he has been convicted and will spend the rest of his life in prison. he is being sentenced on nov. 15th. lets quit talking about what may have made him do it...i sat through the whole trial, and i know what made him do it; himself. no drugs, no alcohol, just the hardcore feeling of killing someone.

please let it rest out of respect for these girls and our family.

KM's attorney filed for a motion for a new trial on Nov. 15. On Nov. 5 the sentencing was reset to Nov. 21 @ 10.

I sincerely hope this can end soon. There's been too much heartache.

You're right in saying that there is no evidence that he was taking his meds. Maybe there wasn't. I didn't keep up enough to keep track if they looked into his blood or anything like that, though I'm sure that was brought to the table at some point. However, simply knowing that he is in jail for the rest of his life would be good, if he was the only one taking this potentially-psychosis-causing medication. But there are loads more people. I'm not saying the meds made him do it. His chance to prove that has come and gone. But how many people will have to drive off of the side of the road before you start looking for potholes, you know?

"CEDAR RAPIDS — Kyle A. Marin, convicted Nov. 1 of murdering two women at an apartment near Kirkwood Community College in 2006, is appealing his case to the Iowa Supreme Court.

Marin, 21, stabbed and beat Molly Edmondson and Katrina Hill to death in Edmondson's apartment bathroom on April 23, 2006. Most of the facts in the killings were not in dispute at trial, but Marin's attorney argued that mental illness, medication and alcohol caused him to not be able to make decisions.

He was nonetheless convicted on two counts of first-degree murder and on Nov. 21 given consecutive life sentences without parole. He filed his appeal Dec. 3 in Linn County."

The little bastard after giving his bullshit apology to the families of these beautiful girls, and saying he "WILL do his time for these crimes" files an appeal...I pray to god Sosalla doesn't grant it...What a load of bullshit.

So let me get this straight ,if it was not "your" friends he killed it would have been alright, but since it was your unhappy. I want to know why you called this x violent ofender Kyle your fucking friend, are you going to tell me in a town that size you had no idea about his priors, bullshit. Just like the one calling himself his boy or what ever, you can right away tell the local youthfull attitude is to be impressed by the criminal element, insteasd of turned of like a healthy mind would be. You said he was your friend and now you jump on the band wagon and supossible sympathise with the familly, even using the victoms nick names(Nice Touch). Save your croccadile ters, because you are as transparent as your friends apeal.It sounds like you need to lay off the hard shit, its clouding your already niave judgment. Justin

Your the problem you bleeding hearted jerk off, its idiots like yourself that have taken the power away from our legal system by allowing this kind of thing to go un-punished.With the kind benevolence you describe what is stopping the next crime of this nature from occuring in this community. Dude, even God would not have mercy on this piece of dog dung.You say I dont no this violent criminal,well a man is defined by his actions and his actions included the hanus attack on these young daughters just begening their lives.And as wellas a knife he also used a hammer for christ sakes,he split their prety litle heads open with a hammer. Just maybe if these daughters of other men were closer to your own family you would have the balls to have the corect response, instead of playing devils advocate. You are a coward.

There is always more to the story than what ends up in black and white. While the senseless deaths of these two young women are tragic, one cannot just assume to know anything about Kyle. My heart goes out to everyone involved, including Kyle and his family. I can tell you that only one side of events makes it into the court files. Unless there is a trial, the Defendant's side is never heard. This results in misleading information making it into the press about Kyle's prior court cases. All the court file tells you is what he was charged with, not what actually occurred.
If only the adult criminal system were set up to try to legitimately help those who need it rather than warehouse them for a period of time, maybe Kyle would have gotten the mental health treatment needed and this never would have happened. While one might throw out cliches such as "Hindsight is 20/20", I can tell you that Kyle was just an average kid with problems. There was absolutely no way to predict this outcome. It breaks my heart. He had such potential. Just shows you how random and screwed up life can be. He is now going to have to live with this on his conscience for the rest of his life. Clearly, he feels remorse for his actions or he would not have accepted responsibility by turning himself in and confessing before anyone even knew to look for him. We can only speculate on what could possibly have caused him to completely go over the edge. That's what's scariest, not knowing how to prevent this type of thing.
While I never knew the victims, it appears they were beautiful vibrant people who made lasting impressions on those they loved and who loved them. This really is a horrible tragedy that will affect the lives of those left behind forever.

I strongly agree with you an in a perfect cosmic like legal system he should trade places with one of these girls.

This is certainly a tragic insident that could have been avoided. Obviously Mr. Matin has issues in the beating of his first victims in 2003 & 2004. Lets hold the the system accountable for letting him walk and slapping his hand with a suspended sentence. Had they held him accountable and locked his ass up for the five years these two girls would stilll be alive. Where is the justice for them. You have this punk under sucicide watch, wasting taxpayers money. Let the little bastard kill himself. Or better yet lets beat him to death with a hammer. Worthless piece of shit that he is.

I wish this was the case but if you look closly at some of the coments posted by people that did know him. You can tell starting with his stupid subcultural iconic nickname, that they were instead both aware of his prior violent history and admired it. This is unfortunatly the parlince of our times, and symptamatic of gangster rap and the likes that simple advocate and breed hate into our young adults.I wish for once the blam would lay entirly on the perpatrator were it belongs.Drug induced or not this young man had a choice , he chose violence again. He through a child like fit, that took children from someonelse forevor.I only wish he would have done this in Texas, or somewere were justice would actualy be carried out instead of Iowa wher it is completly simple corupt. As someone previously involved with law enforcement in your state I can tell you the truth. You would have more luck going to the actual men in controll of the state via dollar bills( Cosa Nostra, Bikers,Drug Dealers ect.. If you live their my advice is to move, like any decant law enforcement have already.
