I am an out-of-state family member of Mary Lou Reed's. I have been trying to follow Rick's case, but it seems the September 8 trial date has come and gone with no mention in the news. Do you know if there was a delay?

Everyone that knew and loved the Reeds are shocked by this senseless crime. I have to believe that Rick's parents would have sacrificed their lives to keep him off the streets and sober, if they had been given a chance. It's ironic that all three are in a much better place now.

I hope no other family has to go through this as a result of an intervention. Keep your guns locked and have a mediator present before attempting to deal with someone who has a serious alcohol problem.
