Our thoughts and prayers are going out to the DiPonzio family, friends, and caregivers. We are friends with an Indianapolis PD that this happened just about a year ago (Jason Fishburn). Stay strong Anthony, it is a long road, but you can overcome it. Good luck and God bless. The Brown family - Indianapolis

Given what Dr. Maurer has said, I feel just wonderful for Tony and his family and all those who care for him. I believe in the power of prayer. However, I have no mercy for the piece of garbage that did this to Tony, his lawyer, or his family. It doesn't matter to me how this useless human being got to where he is today. His lawyer looks like something out of the old Dukes of Hazzard TV show. May Tuquan suffer deep emotional pain for this, however it may be doled out to him.

This is great news, and a testament to our talented doctors and the power of a community pulling together. It would be beneficial to everyone if the same kind of energy could be expended on youths in order to steer them away from a life of crime.
