What does this really tell us about the chemistry of the family Steven Lake was brought up in?”

“If this man, Steven Lake, was brought up by someone who’s going to blame the court system and me for the death that his son created, that tells us a lot about how Steven Lake’s values were shaped. “I understand he’s upset and he’s entitled to his say just like anybody else,” said Almy to the Bangor Daily News. I can’t imagine a man loving his children as much as Steven loved his.”ĭistrict Attorney Almy had sharp words of rebuke for George Lake. “All he kept saying was ‘I can’t live without my children.’ The bottom line is that if the prosecutors and court system had let Steven see his children, this never would have happened. “He cried day after day after day,” said George Lake of his son. Then Amy Lake - who had custodial rights over the children according to Steven’s bail conditions - cut off contact and stopped allowing the visits, according to the family. The visits were supervised, which according to George Lake cost Steven hundreds of dollars. Steven had seen his children only three times in the course of almost a year - the most recent of which was months ago. “I thought he was going to commit suicide,” said Veronica Fortier, who described herself as Steven’s girlfriend in recent months. “He lost hope,” said Tylene Fowler, Steven’s sister. What he couldn’t accept was being barred from seeing his children. Lake was charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and domestic violence criminal threatening for that incident - charges he was due to face in Superior Court next month.ĭespite his contention that he never pointed the gun at his wife, son and daughter, Steven Lake had accepted that he’d serve a prison sentence for his actions, said George Lake. That’s a version of events consistent with separate interviews with Amy, Coty and Monica Lake, according to summaries of interviews with them, which Almy released to the media Tuesday.

Police and prosecutors have maintained that on June 14, 2010, Steven Lake brandished a loaded pistol and held his family in a bedroom against their will. A man’s wife can say anything she wants about him, but that doesn’t make it the truth.” “He indicted my boy for something that never occurred. Almy messed up,” he said, jabbing his finger at the front page of Wednesday’s Morning Sentinel newspaper and a story about Steven Lake murdering his family and shooting himself Monday in Dexter. get back to the things that matter most.“Mr. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. lines, wrinkles, and sun damage will fade.
