What part of the game is that?! Correction Officers On Trial For Not Intervening In Suicide Attempt Via CBC The jury at the coroner’s inquest into the death of troubled teen Ashley Smith watched disturbing video Monday of her final moments in a cell at a southern Ontario correctional facility. The video shows guards watching as the 19-year-old choked to death with a piece of cloth tied around her neck as she lay face down in her cell at the Grand Valley Institute for Women in Kitchener in October 2007. At the time the video begins, recorded at 6:45 a.m., guards had been debating for about 10 minutes what to do about Smith, who had tied a ligature around her neck — something she’d done several times before. The guards had been told she was seeking attention, and not to intervene unless she stopped breathing. But on this occasion, Smith was wedged between the bed and the wall on the floor of her cell, face down, gasping for breath but not speaking. Another 10 minutes pass before the guards enter her cell and cut the cloth from around her neck, after which they leave the cell and continue to watch outside the door. Yeah, they were “only doing their jobs”, but damn it’s cold-blooded to sit there and watch someone die! Smith doesn’t move, and after a few more minutes the guards enter the cell and try to rouse her by slapping her on the back, without any response. The guards begin to perform CPR, though one of them is heard swearing that she hasn’t had any CPR training in 11 years. A nurse arrives and an ambulance is called as the guards continue to perform CPR, until the emergency workers arrive at 7:10 and take over. They work on Smith for another 30 minutes, then transfer her to a gurney, all the while continuing chest compressions. Smith is wheeled out of the prison to the hospital. The prison guard who recorded the video, Valentino Burnett, testified on Monday and came under fire for following orders not to intervene when Smith was choking. Burnett acknowledged under questioning that “in a perfect world” he would have entered the cell to save Smith. Burnett and three other prison employees were charged for their role in Smith’s death, but the charges were dropped. Says the guards lawyer: “They were following what they were told was in the best interests of Miss Smith and they were trying to help her as much as possible to prevent the tragedy, but unfortunately, they weren’t allowed to prevent that tragedy as they saw fit.” The Smith’s lawyer ain’t goin’ for it: “(Ashley) was left to die by the correctional system, by our utter failures to meet the needs of the mentally ill.” What would you have done in the guards situation? Follow orders, or save a young girl’s life? Image via YouTube
Curtis knows how to give a good interview. 50 visited Howard Stern to promote his new Formula 50 book and Howard asks the rap mogul about the role Ciara played in his breakup with Chelsea , interracial dating, sharing groupies amongst his entourage, and why he got shot. 50 also talks about working with Michael Jackson and why he hates The Game. Sounds like 50 is definitely trying to pin his shooting on Ja Rule and that street cred is the only thing keeping him from admitting he was in love with Chelsea Handler. Either that or he just knows how to evade a question in a way that keeps people talking about him! WENN

Funny, flirty Tweeting back and forth isn’t exactly typical of couples that just broke up, but it’s what Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner are up to apparently. “It really upsets me to read all the FALSE!! stories,” Jenner tweeted, just after his split from his girlfriend of two years, referring to what, we don’t know. “Avril has always been there for me and is the closest person to my heart. I love her.” Avril quickly responded: “luv u 2!!! @BrodyJenner,” she wrote. While that may not sound like a typical couple of folks who have recently parted ways, rest assured, that’s one couple that’s most definitely … parted ways. A source tells E! News that the duo is no longer dating, a reconciliation is not on the table and that the breakup of Bravril was entirely a “mutual decision.” As for those love declarations? Avril is “the kind of girl who stays in touch with her exes” and often tells ex-husband Deryck Whibley the same. So, no big whoop. [Photo: WENN.com]
