Roddy’s fiancée and I were with him yesterday at the Polunsky Prison Unit in Livingston, Texas. He asked us to tell everybody that he really is sorry for his foolish acts when he was a teen. He also asked us to let you all know how committed he is to help others, especially diabetics. Shortly after Judge Pavlick ruled to release Roddy in November of 2007 for his two-year shock probation, he began to search for diabetes-related clinical trials in which he could participate. Eventually the Dallas Diabetes and Endo Rsearch Center sought volunteers for a clinical trial of a groundbreaking form of experimental inhalable insulin. Roddy got accepted. He participated fully -- I am extremely proud of how he so carefully followed their instructions and how he would get out of bed at 4:00 in the morning to drive all the way into Dallas and go through all of the testing over and over. He was completely committed to this clinical trial, and he had great success. BUT he was forced to withdraw days before having to turn himself back in. He had informed the Dallas center of that possibility before it accepted him into the clinical trial. Despite the claims of the D.A., Roddy did not seek out clinical trials at the last minute in an effort to stay out of prison -- rather he pursued clinical trial opportunities nearly immediately after his 2007 shock probation release to his confinement on his mother's premises. He was permitted to leave his mother's premises for such medical issues, and to address legal issues and to go to church on Sundays (but not on Wednesdays). Roddy had sought permission to go to work, and to perform community service, but the D.A. opposed that and Judge Pavlick denied Roddy's application. I could go on and on. But ultimately my point is that Roddy really does care, and he sends his thanks to all of you for caring. – Bob McCausland, Coppell, TX
