"Unfortunately, David did not like being labelled," she said, "He didn‘t like wearing his bracelet even though I encouraged him to wear it." Mrs. Haas also said she pleadâ€" ed with her son many times to wear his medic alert necklace, including on the day of the acciâ€" dent.

Mrs. Haas told the jury her son had a seizure while swimming in the park‘s pool once before, when he was 16. The jury listened to evidence from Haas‘ neurologist, Dr. Thomas Staunton, who said that a person with seizures as severe as Haas‘s could not look after themâ€" selves in the water. "My first suspicion is that David might have had a seizure while swimming, but there is no way I can prove that," said Staunton. Haas was taking Dilantin and Tegretol, drugs which control epilepsy. An autopsy revealed he had the medication in his bloodâ€" stream. Nevertheless, the drugs could only have prevented his general seizures, not his partial ones which are more severe, said Staunton.

For more information call McWilliams said the news story published in the Beaver contained several inaccuracies: that police arrested Costa at OTMH; that police followed a trail of blood to OTMH and that a break and enter had occurred. According to Peter K. McWilliams, Costa‘s lawyer, his client slipped on some ice and fell through the glass winâ€" dow at West End Motors, a firm with which Costa has close business ties.

Artininian also said it was impossible for pathologists to determine whether Haas had had an epileptic seizure. f Casey Costa, of Third Line, was charged by Halton Regional Police with break and enter in connection with a Jan. 22 incident during which a bay window was smashed at West End Motors on Speers Road. that h All charges against an Oakville man relating to an reported breakâ€"in at a local car dealership were withdrawn recently in court. sy must never said Staunton.
