WOMAN'S DEATH HER OWN FAULT

Family and friends of Lacy Trammel who died of a drug overdose in June are 
upset that Sara Boroff, 19, of Van Wert, who gave the morphine to Trammel, 
was only sentenced to six months in jail.

The loss of a teen-ager is always a hard thing to accept. But the fact 
remains that Trammel, an adult at the time of her death, freely chose to 
accept and ingest the morphine. Ultimate responsibility for that decision 
rests squarely on Trammel's shoulders.

Trammel's family has our condolences for their loss. Boroff, meanwhile, 
will have to live the rest of her life with the knowledge that she played a 
part in the death of her friend.
