I would not vote to indict, but if he got it and I were on the jury, I certainly vote to acquit. No punishment could ever rival that of seeing your spouse deteriorate with ALS and then actually ending her life yourself. That husband is not the kind of guy who's gonna commit crimes if he's not locked up. It's terrible that we can legally give our pets more dignified deaths than we can our loved ones. If I were in that woman's state, I'd end my own life before I became incapable of doing so. I wouldn't want anyone else to suffer anything worse than my loss. No reason to bankrupt this man with legal costs or even risk giving him a permanent felony conviction record.
