Troubled nurse should be innocent until proven guilty

To the people of the community of Gulf Breeze and Pensacola:

This message is from a brokenhearted mother. My son Bill Morgan was a nurse for 20 years. I always thought a person was innocent until found guilty. He was trying to get in the INP program for a year and a half. He told no one about his problems, no one. This was a tremendous burden on him. With no income for this period of time, he had innumerable bills. This along with other personal situations destroyed him. Then he was arrested and would have a court trial to prove him innocent. The police even went to the middle school and informed his 11-yearold son that his dad had been arrested. This made Bill feel that he had lost everything.

I feel Sacred Heart did not give him an opportunity to prove his innocence and he lost his ability to make rational decisions. Please be compassionate and understand the situation. Think of Mary the mother of Jesus. That is how I feel. When I held my son in my arms and realized he was gone you can never imagine.
