  • Yet another PJS column scolding readers on the Jamar issue

    Remember Bill Liesse's column that proclaimed the accident had "no injuries", so we shouldn't be too concerned about it?



    Now Mike Nadel pummels all of Central Illinois with his column, in several newspapers all with different headlines, telling us
    the accident "neither killed nor serious injured anybody
    (Carlwell is recovering nicely and still considers Jamar a close friend.)"
    (the grammatical error is Nadel's not mine)



    But that contrasts quite boldly with these reports:

    Mark Tupper-
    "Brian Carlwell hoped he???‚¬?„?d be able to bounce back from his severe concussion and somehow find his way onto the basketball court in the NCAA Tournament.

    Alas, that appears unlikely to happen.

    ...recuperation that has taken longer than first hoped.

    He???‚¬?„?s still going through a lot of physical therapy. I talked with him yesterday and it???‚¬?„?s been a little slower than he thought.

    He had some trauma to the brain and he just has to recover from that. He has to let the hemorrhage heal.???‚¬??

    Carlwell???‚¬?„?s therapy involves, ???‚¬?“just learning to walk, run, jump, catch, all of those things.???‚¬??


    and from the Journal Star

    "CARLWELL RECOVERY: Illinois freshman center Brian Carlwell, who suffered a severe concussion in a Feb. 12 car accident, will travel with the team but not dress for the game. His recovery has been slower than he had hoped.

    Carlwell isn't practicing with the Illini. He works instead with a physical therapist to re-learn his walking, running, jumping and catching skills.

    "It's been a little slower than he thought," Weber said. "There's a little sadness and frustration. He was hoping to maybe be part of the tournament. That's the first thing doctors talked about.

    "It hasn't come as fast as he would have hoped. At the same time, he's alive. He went through some traumatic injuries. We're telling him to stay positive and keep working at it."



    It is entirely possible that Carlwell might have serious, permanent brain damage as a direct resulot of the accident and concussion and "Hemmorrhage" that is now being revealed.
    How can irresponsible reporters keep trivializing this incident by repeatedly claiming that no injuires occurred?
    Please........read your own newspapers and get it right, and stop scolding readers for simply asking that the facts be revealed and not hidden, and that the law be upheld.
