Texas attorney Jerri Ward, an authority on the law and euthanasia comments, The prosecution must prove intent to gain a conviction in these cases. If intent is proved, the book should be thrown at these medical professionals. Be sure to catch her radio program later today (click here).
I am not ready to draw any larger lessons from this episode about euthanasia advocacy or what has been called the culture of death. But we should watch these cases closely to see what the defendants have to say, if anything, about their alleged criminal conduct.
