Another Teen Killer Took Antidepressants

Rody J. Phillips was 14 when he stabbed and killed a 7-Eleven clerk. He had been taking antidepressants for a month before the fatal attack and had told police he heard voices in his head.

Phillips attorney said, "If Rody hadn't been taking the drugs this wouldn't have happened. I don't think he saw what was happening to him."
