Dr. Carter had known Benji since he was born, taking care of him and his two sisters until they left for college. Over the years and after many visits, Dr. Carter developed a fond relationship with the entire family. Naturally he was shocked to learn through a call from defense lawyers that Benji was being charged with attempted manslaughter. Benji had always been a respectful and conscientious young man; he was the valedictorian of his high school class, the captain of the soccer team, and a volunteer in the Big Brother's program. According to court papers, Benji had thrown his baby from the window in his apartment in the middle of the night. Luckily, the baby survived, but when neighbors heard the commotion, they called the police and Benji was found standing outside the building in his pajamas and was arrested. When police questioned Benji, he had no recollection of the events, claiming that the police had awakened him when they arrived at the scene.
