With Fourth of July just around the corner, I want to wish everyone a Happy July 4th holiday!
Meanwhile, here is an enlightening report for your holiday reading...
An American man who injected his sons with heroin and cocaine so they would understand how he felt when he used drugs has been sentenced to 10 years' jail, Associated Press (AP) reported.
Stephen Pickle, 39, was sentenced for injecting the boys - aged 12 and 16 at the time - with the drugs.
His younger son contracted hepatitis C as a result of the injections in 2005, AP reported.
According to AP, Pickle's lawyer, Joel Schwartz, said that Pickle was "incredibly remorseful" about what he had done.
The court heard argument that Pickle destroyed the boys' childhood.
Prosecutor Teresa Bomkamp said Pickle also injected his daughter with drugs that year, but was not charged because the girl was 18.
