Notes from tonight’s ‘Hannity and Colmes’ (No Warrior)
– They showed a clip of Benoit using the crippler crossface on The Big Show. Hannity talked about a new discovery that Benoit may have used a similar move to kill his son Daniel.
– Mark Fuhrman doesnât doubt if Dr. Phil Astin supplied other wrestlers steroids, pain killers, etc.
– Dr. Michael Baden said itâs unlikely â~roid rageâ caused Benoit to kill his family and himself, âits very usual,â said Baden.
– Debra Marshall again talked about the âhush hushâ nature of the business.
– Debra talked about Austinâs paranoia, steroid use, and abuse of alcohol, recalling a time when Austinâs heart rate was increased which worried the wrestler.
– Fuhrman talked about the Wikipedia entry. He also said toxicology can prove that Benoit was capable of killing himself, and isnât sure if Benoit committed suicide.
– Baden believes police have written material to substantiate their ruling of a double murder-suicide.
– Debra remembers being a victim of domestic abuse and her husband Steve Austin walking in the door, signing autographs and posing for pictures.
– Dr. Baden doesnât think Benoit had previously planned to kill his wife and son, and may have ended his sonâs life after thinking about his Nancyâs death and his future with a mentally retarded son. Fuhrman supported this theory.
– Fuhrman said he has seen â~roid rage,â with people throwing dumb bells across a gym, only to be calmed down moments later.
– Fuhrman wonders when they will start indicting the thousands of doctors falsely prescribing medication.
– Hannity noted that itâs possible to get such prescriptions over the internet.
– âSteve would mix pills,â said Debra and talked about the many pills wrestlers take.
– Dr. Baden knows the effects the medication be prescribed can have on his patients.
– DNA, finger prints, etc. must all match up as Benoitâs to rule out another person being involved in this case, said Fuhrman.
– Sean Hannity announced in the last five minutes of his show that “Unforeseen Technical Problems In Studio” prevented The Warrior from appearing on the show. They instead focused on Debra Marshall, Mark Fuhrman (from the OJ Simpson fiasco), and Dr. Badin (made famous by the HBO series “Autopsy”).
Notes from tonight’s ‘Off the Record with Greta’
– Manny Arora joined the show. He represents Dr. Phil Astin and NFL star Adam âPacmanâ Jones. Arora noted that the indictment against his client has nothing to do with the Benoit case.
– Astin has 2500 patients and would see 30 to 40 patients a day. Ashin is a general practitioner.
– Aurora said itâs just a claim that his client prescribed 10 months of steroids every three to four weeks. Arora said that his client has never said he prescribed steroids for Benoit.
– Aurora noted that the indictment deals with patients he had seen in 2004 and 2005.
– âI donât believe he was his doctor,â said Arora of his client regarding Daniel Benoit.
– It was noted that Dr. Astin wrote prescriptions without dates, which is illegal.
– A doctor talked about the psychological effects from using steroids.
– The doctor said she expects the results of the toxicology to be known in a few days.
– It was said anytime the feds come after you with an indictment, you should be nervous.
– It was said that Astin âisnât out of the woodsâ regarding the claims he wrote all the prescriptions for steroids for Benoit. Greta pointed out, that it all has to be proven.
– A guest wonders why they havenât gone after the doctor that prescribed all the medication to Anna Nicole Smith.
– They will interview Ted DiBiase next.
