I am beyond thrilled to be able to tell folks that our family – Henry – now has official legal representation for the civil litigation we need to bring against the people whose actions caused Henry’s death, as well as to address potential institutional failures in the investigation itself. As I noted in a blog post here last week, I had pretty much given up on finding any way to make this happen, but now,two young East TN lawyers (I will share their names as soon as I double check that it’s okay with them) who are personally and professionally appalled by what happened to my child, and by the way his case has been handled by authorities have stepped up to help.
This truly isn’t about money for these guys, but about fairness, decency and ensuring a safer Knox County for everyone’s teenagers.
Thank God for Good People.
I’m so proud of you for being such a diligent advocate for Henry, and of these two lawyers who are representing you! Lawyers get such a bad rap, but a law degree is like the Force – it can be used for good or for evil. Thank goodness for people like those two!
I am beyond thrilled for you and your family!!! May whatever comes of this protect other families from the kind of grief you’ve had to endure.
This is proof that people support you and what you are doing in Henry’s name. I am so excited for you and your family and I hope the good news keeps on snowballing for you!
Huzzah! Hooray for the good guys!!
That’s wonderful news!
That is awesome news.
THANK YOU, whoever you are, for taking this on. You are both shining lights.
That is great news. As an attorney myself, I am heartened and proud that my brethren/sistren in Tennessee have stepped up. If I were in Tennessee, I would have volunteered myself.
Halleluia!
AWESOME! I am so glad that they are able and willing to step up and help you.
So happy for you! so glad there is someone to make sure justice is served for Henry and your family. Kudos to those young attorneys, God bless them!
That is SUCH great news! And yes, thank God for good people!!
Thank heavens for the good people of the world who do the right thing. I hope they do allow you to release their names so that we can utilize their services when we need good, decent lawyers. We’re praying for you all.
Good for you. I think you have a strong case against both institutions and persons involved in what happened to Henry. As the case is documented, it might give the lazy police enough fodder to pursue a criminal case. Clearly as things stand right now, they do not have what they feel is sufficient evidence and are not willing to do the work to come up with it. A shame you have to do their work.
This is amazing news.
Katie & family, This is wonderful news!
Excellent news!
This is a wonderful development!
Hallelujah! That is fantastic news. May these two attorneys be commended for their choice to help!
My heart just jumped for joy. I am so happy that someone who could STOOD UP. May God bless their efforts.
Thank God!!! Prayers are always answered!!! Katie, I pray that you can rest tonight
AWESOME news!!
Congrats, Katie – this is amazing news! Kudos to the two VERY good folks who stepped up to the plate and offered their help … good karma is being accrued in spades, that’s for sure.
I can’t even begin to tell you how happy this makes me…I’m so proud of you for fighting so hard, Katie. I know it’s what you had to do but still – I’m in awe. Hooray!! We have to take care of our kids, and you fighting like this is going to save so many other kids. I know it. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you good people for showing up. <3 I knew you were out there.
Asked and answered. Hallelujah.

YAY!
You know, after reading all your updates on this….I just can’t believe nobody has gone after the lowlifes who poisoned your kid by lying to him about the safe dose of the drugs they gave him.
You go, lady. I have no children myself, but I don’t think what you’ve written here is only mom-specific, more of a human rights thing. Maybe you’ll help some other family somewhere get justice in the future. We’ve got our fingers crossed for you in Nashville.
Made my day.
So glad to hear this for you and your family, and mostly, for Henry!
