Geofrey Fieger successfully represented Dr. Kevorkian several time. The doctor lost when he represented himself and asked the jury “Do I look like a murderer?”

Dr. Kervorkian’s patient was a good man of sound mind who did not want to drown in his own spittle. The judge, a beautiful woman, used the guilty verdict to voice her tyrannical view that Doctor Kervorkian defied the state!

The case against the doctor was straight forward; he did willfully cause the death of the patient. What is tragic is that is that nobody thought it was murder. If it was, then every letter to Dr, Kervokian that began “Please help my grandpa…”, ” Please help my Aunt Ester…”, Please help my husband, Herb…”, etc would be a solicitation of murder. None were so prosecuted. Indeed the family of thr murdered patient provided support, materially and psycologically for the murder. The family was not prosecuted.

Doctor Kervorkian’s prosecution was one of too many dark moments in American Law.

Or maybe that’s not what the aggressor-turned-plaintiff intends us to understand…

For months she had been hounding her husband to fix the broken tread on the stairs so that she, her husband and her kids would not have to step over it and risk injury. Of course his resposne each time was “I’ll get around to it.”

One day, when the family came home from an evening out, there was a burglar at the bottom of the stairs with a multiple compound fracture of his leg. He was arrested, charged, and convicted of burglary. He sued, but the courts were smarter in those days. Case dismissed.
