ABSTRACT

Adam Falcon was an accomplished soccer player at the prestigious school of Saint Lawrence University in Canton, New York (Figure 4.1). At first glance, he was a handsome young man with an athletic build. However, Adam was not just another campus jock, he was a philosophy major with a 3.4 GPA. Adam was also civically and socially minded, and coached kids’ summer camps. Adam had plans for the evening of Friday, November 12, 2004, with “J.M.” and other friends. He was scheduled for an early morning wake up for the teams’ championship soccer game the following day. Because he was injured, Adam was assisting the coaching staff.
