Did an acne drug cause a murder?
Defense May Blame Girl’s Death On Acne Drug:
18-year-old John Mullarkey is accused of stabbing 16-year-old Demi Cuccia to death. His defense is attempting to blame the murder on the acne drug Accutane. I don’t know if it’s capable of causing someone to murder but I wouldn’t be surprised. I was on this ‘drug’ when it first came out back in the early 80’s. It’s more of a poison than it is a drug in my opinion. The side effects were worse than the disease. Like being a small kid with acne in high school wasn’t depressing enough I believe this drug made me suicidal as well. This drug is a menace and should have never been released to the public. Do I think it made John Mullarkey kill Demi Cuccia? That I can’t tell you. That’s for the court to decide.
