But at the time, that's what I was thinking. Bostic went on trial and was found guilty of 17 counts , including eight counts of armed criminal action, and three counts of robbery. Before his sentencing in , his lawyer suggested writing to the judge, so he did, four times. I used them to complain about the trial, and what was going on, instead of taking responsibility. Bostic's mother, Diane, also wrote a letter to the judge, who said it was "one of the most beautiful letters I have ever received from a parent".
But it wasn't enough to save him. Addressing Bostic in court, Judge Evelyn Baker told him: "You write me these letters how brilliant you are, how intelligent you are, how you are smarter than everybody else in the world.
You have expressed no remorse. You feel sorry for Bobby. The judge ordered Bostic's sentences to run consecutively, rather than concurrently. The total was years. Bostic's accomplice, Donald Hutson, took the mercy of the court deal. Judge Baker gave him 30 years.
It's no longer a game. Your life has just been taken away. That's when I got the wake-up call. Bostic was in a juvenile dorm for two months, before joining the adults. The prison, he says, was "complete chaos". If you didn't, people would do all types of thing. You had to be a man at an early age - or try to be a man. In his early days, Bostic went through "several trials".
Having your food stolen was a common test. You're going to get tested, because you're new. I was a young guy, I had to prove myself. You do that through fighting. Bostic graduated from middle school, but barely started high school, leaving aged 14 or But after two or three years in prison, he started reading. The first book to have an impact was the autobiography of Malcolm X. From then, it was "book after book after book after book". He got his GED - equivalent to a high school diploma - and started writing books: four non-fiction, eight poetry.
One poem is called The Terrible Bullet. He also took courses - business classes, a paralegal diploma, many others. One of them was a victims' advocate class. The courses teach you how to put a face on the victims. They teach you empathy, and to realise they're people with rights. Knowing that my actions caused all this trauma, I took it more to heart. I took it personally.
I created victims. Bostic needs four more classes for his associate degree - maths, biology, environmental science, English He wishes others would do the same. There's no studying or reading. When I came in, we used to read, study.
Nowadays, that doesn't exist: it's just TV and games. Everything is a game now. Bostic believes in education. It appeared season 8 of House MD would be the end, due to declining ratings and actor contracts expiring, with Lisa Edelstein famously exiting the series after season 7 as Cuddy when a new deal couldn't be worked out.
House MD season 8 eventually proved to the final series - and quite an eventful one too. The previous season ended with a heartbroken House driving his car into the empty living room of ex-girlfriend Cuddy's home and walking away as she and her family looked on in shock.
Season 8 premiere "Twenty Vicodin" opens about a year after this event, with House having served eight months of a prison sentence for driving his car into Cuddy's house.
It turns out House didn't even try to get a reduced sentence and when his term is up, he plans to leave medicine and study dark matter instead, which will also isolate him even further from other people. So is House going back to prison? Can House find a way out of this one in the series finale? Who knows! Also, that promo? Yeah, I cried. Save FB Tweet More. Foreman goes to see House.
He thinks that the patient should appeal on the basis that his tumor gave him random rage. However, House is less sanguine - many other people have such rage attacks and don't commit crimes. The episode ends with Cameron telling her clinic patient that she is terminal, and then comforting her, and Foreman watching on as death row inmate is taken away while the song Hallelujah plays in the background. Cameron is filling in for House at the clinic when she meets a young woman with anemia and a cough.
She has no surviving family, and a family history of cancer and heart disease. The patient is there for a routine health clearance before starting work. The tests have already come back and Cameron looks at the x-rays and see the patient may have cancer. She seeks out Wilson for a consult but he thinks it's obviously cancer. Cameron looks to House for a consult, but he agrees with Wilson - it's lung cancer with a prognosis of six months.
Cameron has alternative diagnoses, but House knows they have to be wrong. She asks for a differential diagnosis , but instead House draws the five stages of dying on the whiteboard. He orders Cameron to tell the patient she's dying.
However, Cameron tells the patient the tests are inconclusive. She is testing for unlikely but possible diagnoses. The patient asks if she should be worried, but Cameron reassures her. House finds Cameron doing a differential on her patient with the team. She still wants to confirm the diagnosis. She asks House to do a lavage to look for infections.
House suggests a biopsy , which would be conclusive. She can't understand why House doesn't care about her patient. He points out that Cameron is going through the five stages of impending death instead of her patient. He agrees to the one procedure if Cameron will do two more of his clinic hours.
The biopsy is positive, but Wilson finds out that Cameron still hasn't told her patient. Cameron has been spending time being friendly with her patient. Cameron is upset that she's alone. Wilson tells her that it's not worth it to get emotionally involved with terminal patients; the patient feels good for their last few days, but the doctor isn't the same, maybe for years. She tells Wilson about how her late husband would have died alone if she hadn't married him and that when a good person dies, there should be an impact.
Wilson appears to understand. Acceptance, takes on several meaning, refers to the action of allowing something or someone one to become a part of the group. This applies to Stacy after, in Honeymoon , House told Cuddy he would be fine if Stacy worked at the hospital. It also applies to Cameron coming to accept her patient's death.
