. i m really against them. kaniva also says the doctor originally did her illegal injections, went to jail after someone allegedly died on her table. joining me now is terryn patricia received silicone injections and is now warning against the dangerous procedure. tarran everything was fine until six months after her surgery. what happened that yes, six months into it, i got a rash and it was just on my . so i knew. i knew it was the injections. so you started hurting. and i guess the question is , is this just now just another example of people trying to do too much to make themselves look perfect? i mean, you re obviously a very attractive person. looks like you re in great shape, et cetera. so, first of all, why did you decide you needed to do this
feel it working. welcome back, everybody. time for the papers. you are not going to believe this first story, how far some folks will go. every woman wants to have full lips. but this, this is sad actually. a 22-year-old russian girl named christina ray now has the largest, world s largest lips. 100 silicone injections to look like that. so sad. look at how beautiful she was now looks like a cartoon character. irkt ronically what she ironically what she wants to look like. that s the goal is to look like daffy duck. rob, she said she wants to look like jessica rabbit. her favorite, favorite. more daffy than jessica. she says she wants to go even bigger. up next she wants to have her breasts surgically enhanced,
did she die from an injection she received on march 20th, 2001, the date of her death? no, i don t think so. i think she did die of, most probably, the silicone. but it s the cumulative effect of, looks like, months or even years of silicone injection. the defense believed dr. wright s testimony destroyed the foundation of the state s entire case. vera lawrence very likely died from silicone injections. but the mysterious marcos and other pumpers in her past were responsible, not hendrix and hawkins, who flatly denied the charges. defense attorneys, confident they d done more than enough to create reasonable doubt, were ready to give their closing arguments. one tragedy should not beget another tragedy. this man should not be convicted. so what happened on march closing statements lasted
