I agree with you, Debbie. I also am very disappointed that Dr. Merrifield will never even see the inside of a jail cell. He had a moral, ethical, and legal responsibility, and he failed that poor little child completely.

HOME CONFINMENT!!!!!1-5 YRS!!!!! Cannot believe this. This doctor needs to be incarcerated with his son. Well we all know that money and who he is played a part in this. I am really anxious to see the news this evening to see what the outburst were in the courtroom. Justice was not served in any way in this case. He admitted his guilt and still does not have to spend one day in jail. Sad!!!

Thanks very much for bringing that article to my attention, Debbie! Very interesting, as I didn’t know that Michael Merrifield had abused a former girlfriend to that extent. If anyone else here wants to read it, it’s at http://wvgazette.com/News/200807260417

Had Dr. Merrifield done his job - or even done what any responsible person would have done, which is to report the abuse - little Logan would likely still be alive right now.

Add to that the fact that Dr. Merrifield knew his son was a violent monster, completely capable of torturing a young child, and his actions are even more inexcusable.

He deserves prison, because all the good he did in his life does not overcome the horror that little child experienced, when the doctor simply sent him back to his torturer.

Well it’s time for Dr. Merrifields sentencing tomorrow, 7/29/08. I’m sure the FRONT PAGE STORY in Sunday paper here in WV was trying to show what a good, great Doctor he was, is??? Matter of opinon I guess. States that he could never say “NO” to anyone. But then to be fair the article also detailed some of MM’s past brutality as well, but even as a child looks like the Dr. and Mrs. M turned a deaf ear and blind eye to their children. Let’s just hope he gets more than a slap on the hand. And for Mrs. M, well she deserves the same as the good Dr. and her son.

Well here we go again with Michael Merrifield. Life without mercy, I certainly hope that no mercy means he will be held in General Population while in prison, and is given NO MERCY by fellow inmates. And AGAIN, Dr. Merrifield is standing by his son declaring that the media tried and convicted him two years ago and that his son is not the MONSTER that the media have made him out to be. For Heavens Sake do the Merrifields EVER ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS????? Again I will say that I feel that Pepper Eren is as responsible if not more responsible seeing that she was Logan’s mother and should spend the rest of her life in prision and never have the opportunity to bear more children.
