re: "The Pharmacist"... The trailer for the Netflix Documentary about my friend aired today

The audio of the mom sobbing was tough to hear.

Why the hell did he record that?

I guess his argument is that there is a long list of other murders that they aren’t doing their job about so what’s another one to the list?

158 murders in 1998 in New Orleans, 230 the year before. Hundreds each year before that. A prosecutors office that could barely get convictions based on juries in the city. The city was a complete and utter failure. The murderer would have probably been killed had nature been left to take its course.

I watched the documentary straight through yesterday. It was compelling, but two things bothered me.

It seemed to neglect why Danny Jr got into drugs, it didn't show a single friend or explore nearly as much as to how he could have gotten to the point of driving into the 9th Ward for his fix.

The other part was showing Walt Leger at the end, and the now cash grab the trial lawyers are going to make. Greedy lawyers as bad as the doctors.

Watched and enjoyed.

Man is inspiring. Perfect example of a guy who missed his calling, yet found it regardless. He seems to be just as good of a detective than anyone I've heard of or seen in law.

I never enjoyed being in the 9th ward when I was younger. I'm surprised he wasnt at least beaten down. Has my respect.

and that female doctor is delusional and deserves the disability

She only did probation. The DEA lady made it sound like sympathy due to the car wreck was why she got that deal. In addition she could never run a pain clinic again obviously. She should still be in prison.

can you really blame them for not wanting to consumetheir time and resources with a drug deal gone bad in the hood esp during those time

They were given the murderer's name by an eyewitness through Crimestoppers and they still made no effort to secure an arrest. I believe they are due and deserving of the condemnation they are receiving from this documentary.

Just finished watching. It was pretty good. That Dr Cleggett is an evil person.

She’s horrible. She also got some karma with that car wreck. She’s in assisted living now. Even in the interview on Netflix she has major cognitive issues.

I’m sorry but I can’t get over the fact this piece of shite murders a guy in cold blood and serves 13 years and goes free?

What the frick? And the dad was ok with that?

Jeffrey deserved the fricking chair, I don’t care abt him being 16, he committed premeditated murder.

This ruins the whole show

Hey dumbasses how about respond with your opinion rather than just downvote.
Gosh I swear, this is the most pretentious, pussy filled board on TD

Great doc. Well, the doctor is evil, the documentary is great. She's a damn murderer. But the pharmacist is a brave and admirable person. Probably a gigantic pain in the arse to deal with, but he used his powers for good, and his capacity for empathy is inspiring, even for those who murdered his son. I'm in awe of that man.

I agree with all of this. Fantastic documentary but I was left wanting more of Danny Jr’s story. Looking back, were there signs that the parents or sister may have missed? Did he start out using opioids from a legitimate prescription at some point? I’d have to believe that Danny Sr. investigated his own sons past as much as he investigated Dr Clegget. I bet he interviewed kids that went to kindergarten with Danny jr just to get some type of insight!
