It's really too bad old King

he might not have made such a
reputation if he had to go to bat

ford, Conn, girl, who with the
best motives in the world shot her
cancer stricken father through
the head, killing him because she
could not bear to see him suffer
without hope of recovery.
The book says this is murder.
But murder implies a lawless,
malicious intent that was wholly
lacking. Love, not hate, was the
motive. Yet we can't be letting
private individuals make decisions
of this kind.
We don't envy the judge and
