Computer Incompetence,

or Incompetent Lying? 

The concept of Kyle “voluntarily” handing over his Lexapro—the psychiatrist-prescribed medication he was taking—appears nowhere in the early reports. (And we believe the early reports are the most truthful.) The Appellees developed this story later in the wrongful-death lawsuit when it appeared helpful in avoiding liability. Even then, when they presumably had plenty of time to think through the details, the stories told are implausible, full of obvious holes.

In Tom Brennan’s deposition, he stated under oath, three years after the fact, that he had taken Kyle’s Lexapro to research it. “So I took the bottle, and I went down to the public library to find out what it was,” he stated. “I didn’t have a computer, so I wanted to find out what it was.” Brennan didn’t have a computer, but his son Kyle did, right in the same apartment. Why didn’t he ask Kyle to look it up for him? Or, simpler still, why didn’t Brennan look it up himself? The answer to that question shoots holes in the entire story: Tom Brennan couldn’t look it up because, at the time, he was completely computer illiterate.

In the Clearwater Police Report, Jerry Gentile stated that Tom Brennan told him, “I’m not computer literate.” Amazingly, Brennan concurred in his deposition—the very same deposition in which he stated that he went to the library to research Lexapro on the computer. When asked during this deposition if he turned Kyle’s laptop on, he said, “You know, I tried to, but I couldn’t—at the time, I was so computer illiterate, I couldn’t figure out how to get the damn thing on.” How could Brennan have researched Lexapro at the library if he was so computer-ignorant? Obviously, he couldn’t—he made up the story to explain how Kyle’s medication ended up locked in the trunk of his vehicle.
