him with Luke several weeks before he died.
“I think DHS child welfare sat on their hands,"
Gotcher said. “But you can t hold Don Luke to that
higher standard."
Gotcher told the jury members they might not like
how Luke acted.
But no evidence shows he knowingly put Ryan in
harm s way or could have saved the boy’s life by tak-
ing him to the hospital promptly after the injury
occurred, Gotcher said.
But Barker Harrold told the jury that what hap-
pened was no accident.
"Ryan Luke was beaten to death. He was mur-
dered." she said. “Don Luke's failure to protect him
put Ryan Luke in his grave."
Witnesses have said Luke took injured Ryan to the

She said money not used for
periodicals that are available
through FirstSearch can be used
to provide more specified
research materials.
“The databases available
through FirstSearch are more
general," she said. “The big
advantage for libraries is that
they are joining together to use
their collective influence to get a
group price.”
The contract officially starts
on April 1, but until then anyone
with Internet access can browse
the databases through a link to
