LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The defense has rested in the case of a
former Kentucky high school football coach charged with reckless
homicide.
The end of the case for former Pleasure Ridge Park coach David
Jason Stinson came Thursday morning, after testimony from Dr.
William Smock, an emergency medicine professor at the University of
Louisville.
Smock testified by video that the attention deficit disorder
drug Adderall was the main factor in causing the heat stroke that
caused 15-year-old Max Gilpin to collapse on Aug. 20, 2008, at the
end of practice. Gilpin died three days later at a Louisville
hospital.
Jurors are set to begin deliberations in the case later
Thursday. Stinson also faces a charge of wanton endangerment.
Prosecutors said Stinson ran a brutal practice the day Gilpin
collapsed. Stinson's defense says the practice wasn't unusually
hard.
