This page needs details on the resulting lawsuits, one of which involved infamous lawyer Jack Thompson representing the mothers of slain victicms against the makers of the moive Basketball diaries, which they claimed in part caused the shootings (despite it being unclear as to whether this movie was seen by the shooter).

Competency Hearing edit

Should someone put something up about his recent competency hearing? http://www.kycases.com/2006/06/criminal_compet.html TheEasterBunny 21:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Before or after edit

Shelley Schaberg, 17 at the time, was described by the principal as the school’s best female athlete. Voted Miss Heath High School by the senior class, Shelley was homecoming queen.

This isn't particularly clear. Was she voted MHHH and homecoming queen before or after the incident? Nil Einne 11:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Youtube feature w/ Melissa “Missy” Jenkins edit

This video was just featured up on youtube with one of the victims, appears to be Melissa Jenkins, as she talks about being paralyzed from the waist down... thought it was worth a mention, if anyone wants to find a way to work it into the article:

Did Carneal recant? edit

I've heard that he had expressed remorse for his actions, but there is no information on that here. Does anyone know if that's true? Mhmaudling 19:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Perparator edit

I added the no reference tag to this area, this is some pretty important information that is included and it is not sourced. That area is full of info that makes you feel sympathetic about the culprit and should be cited, or deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.104.124 (talk) 22:44, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sentencing section vs. Prosecution section ... ? edit

The info in the Sentencing section (which, btw, has no supporting citation) contradicts the info about the outcome of the trial in the Prosecution (which does have a linked citation, but the link has gone stale by now). Better to just delete the Sentencing section, if the facts given in Prosecution can be re-verified?? (It's also out of order chronologically to mention the sentencing before prosecution - so second best would be to merge Prosecution and Sentencing.)

Does anyone care to verify the facts and smooth this out? Rousse (talk) 19:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

How did Michael Carneal obtain his weapons? edit

How did he get his weapons? Did someone buy them for him, or did he steal them? If so, from whom? That's a relevant social/public policy issue. For example, some states require gun owners to keep their weapons locked up when not under the owners' direct control (especially when a minor lives in the house). Did he take the guns from someone he lived with (i.e., his parents or grandparents)? If so, did the gun owner(s) fail to keep them locked up? And did the owner(s) break the law by so doing?

It's also a very sensetive political issue. 71.51.50.38 (talk) 22:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
