ASSISTED SUICIDE: A Look Back at Dr. Jack’s Career
Late last month, a Michigan jury found Jack Kevorkian guilty of murder for his role in the death of Thomas Youk. Millions of Americans had watched a videotape of Mr. Youk's death on "60 Minutes." Kevorkian had tangled with the law before, but juries refused to convict him for assisting suicides.
