Dad, Released to Donate Kidney to Son, Skips Town
Okay, folks, we apparently disagree over whether John Hogan is a terrific asshole or a tortured soul. (Why does it have to be either/or, anyway?) But can we at least agree that Byron Perkins is a total, complete bastard? The Kentucky father convinced a judge to let him out of jail so that he could cough up a kidney for his ailing son Destin, who was in dire need of a transplant. So Perkins Sr. showed up for the surgery right? Hell no! Mr. Convict skipped town on the final day of pre-transplant testing, taking both kidneys and his girlfriend with him. Doctors say that Byron Perkins was a near-perfect match for the procedure before he decided that his life was more important than his child’s.
Destin, thank the gods, still got the organ he needed to stay alive from an anonymous donor in California. Amazing. Someone who’s never met Destin gives more of a shit about him than his old man.
Byron has reportedly been sighted in Mexico. Which is perfect: once the authorities nab him, they can have their can have their worst doctors yank out a kidney, and ship it to California as repayment on a debt.
