Last week when Aretha Franklin's 52 year old son got stomped out in a Detroit gas station there was a bit of controversy concerning why he'd neglected to report the incident to police. Well, Aretha says there's a perfectly good reason for that.

"After observing my son on Tuesday, it was clear that he was unable to communicate with anyone after such a traumatic attack and with his jaw wired. The officer probably would not have been able to give a statement if he had been attacked by three men the very next day, either, and it was totally unreasonable to expect Eddie to do so as if he were not being cooperative."
