GUILTY FL - Jerry Perdomo, 31, Orange City, 16 February 2012

New Posts

For those of you wondering why Jerry would drive all the way to Maine to sell the pills... It's because those pills sell for INSANE amounts of money up here, and they are in high, high demand. 20 dollar pills from Florida and Arizona sell for upwards of 100 dollars a pop in Maine because you can't get them easily at a doctor's office. 1,500 pills probably earned Jerry around 8k per trip, and between 80k-100k per year. Not bad for a side job!
 
It is unreal to me that the pills sell for such high prices...who can afford them, just to get "high"? I know that the ones I receive by prescription are a very low dose compared to what is out there, but still...a very expensive habit to be sure, and the market, whoever it is, will always ensure that people will get involved in selling them.
 
Without a witness to the shooting, the evidence will hafta do all the talking. Prosecutors may want a plea deal just to save time and money. There is no Death Penalty in Maine, so I guess it would be Murder 1, 25 to life? Or Murder 2? Hmm premeditation? having purchased a gun a short while before. Oh wait, he bought a handgun i think. But he shot him him with a rifle, no?

I too have taken these pills after having surgury, sure they helped take away the pain but they would knock me out for about 4 hrs. I just don't understand the recreational use of them, I must be missing something.

I have wondered about this. If Jerry was dealing as many pills a month (1,500) as they are now saying I would think Porter would owe him more than $3,000 unless he had other customers up there in Maine besides Porter. Or maybe the $3,000 was the amount that Porter was short on from the previous month?

Yes, I've thought the same...Porter doesn't strike me as a "big" or "savy" dealer. He seems pretty small time for 1500 or more a month. Although, some addicts can end up doing an unbelievable number of pharmaceuticals a month....MOO
 
The opiate pain pills react completely different in the body of an addict. ..even if just a predisposed addiction trait and not actually an addict.. in these people the medicine does not induce drowsiness and fatigue but rather just the total opposite.. it gives a very speedy.. energized euphoria in which a false sense of well being washes over them.. even if in reality their whole wrorld may be crumbling around them. . You know pretty much right away if this is how the drug reacts with your body. . I cannot stress how totally different the medications effects are on those with addiction predisposition ..
 
I just think it is so sad that people are dependent on these drugs. Without a prescription. And I deplore the people who help get them hooked. How many families in America are trying to deal with this horrible addiction -used to be that a family could maybe help a depressed or wayward son/daughter/brother/sister. It used to be that a family could 'ride it out'-the wildness and sudden need for independence in a youngster.
Now this insidious thing of pill addiction. It infuriates me.
I hope the whole lot of them-these drug dealers -get locked up and punished to the max.
Thanks for the forum to let me rant.

My opinion.....................

Agree!! I saw a Lisa Gould from Bangor on FB. Same hair and skin color but very young and pretty. If this is the same woman she must have been using a very old picture on her profile.

Wow she looks different from that FB profile.

I wondered how that could happen,because I recently had to take Vicodin for an injury and all I wanted to do was go to sleep....And that was one small dose,couldn't imagine abusing these pills.If I hadn't been in so much pain I wouldn't have taken it then.

I totally agree with you.Jerry was a drug dealer and a criminal.Who knows how many people could have died from an overdose from the pills he sold,or how many got hooked.I do feel sorry for his kids.Someday they will find out how their father died.
 
Was just looking at the local news site up here in Bangor and the 3 latest stories are all about people trying to steal prescription drugs. One was a man that tried to snatch a ladies purse in public, and another was a man going house to house in the middle of the night to raid the medicine cabinets. It is BAD up here, and it looks like Jerry and DP got right in the middle of it. I'm not saying the drugs are an excuse but damn they are making even a lot of the "good"' citizens turn into criminals/crazy people.
 
Pain Pills have increased an insane amount in 10 years.. something like 900%. They are easy to move, conceal, ship and use. The government and its companies and lobbyists are doing a fantastic job of turning out a nation of zombies. IMHO.

"Nationwide, pharmacies received and ultimately dispensed the equivalent of 69 tons of pure oxycodone and 42 tons of pure hydrocodone in 2010, the last year for which statistics are available. That's enough to give 40 5-mg Percocets and 24 5-mg Vicodins to every person in the United States. The DEA data records shipments from distributors to pharmacies, hospitals, practitioners and teaching institutions. The drugs are eventually dispensed and sold to patients, but the DEA does not keep track of how much individual patients receive." http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/04/painkiller_sales_soar_across_u.html

He told the courtroom — and his victim’s widow — that he was ashamed of his choices to sell oxycodone to Mainers and to kill 31-year-old Jerry Perdomo of Orange City, Fla., with a semiautomatic rifle on Feb. 16, 2012.

“I can’t help but be struck by the inconsistencies of the descriptions of these two individuals and the events of that day,” Murray said. “It cannot be denied that the violent, lethal killing of Jerry Perdomo was the culmination of a series of threats and drug-dealing activities that went tragically bad.”
