What is “Lifenet”? And why are you as a pro-euthanasia person adverse to something being called pro-euthanasia?

Grand juries indict ham sandwiches.

And you're an expert on grand juries? Are you a prosecutor? If not, please explain how it is that you know the frequency at which any given grand jury will indict. Or does your expertise come from watching TV?

My experience comes from years of covering cops and courts as a reporter. Where I live, if a prosecutor takes a case to a gran jury, he/she gets the indictment probably more than 99 percent of the time.

I don’t watch Court TV.

Pleaase show me where I said I was pro-euthanasia.

I’m still waiting for your secret evidence that proves this doctor killed those patients.

Grand juries send anything remotely prosecutable for trial, it’s rather extraordinary they did not in this case.

That is a popular perception, but we really don’t know if it’s accurate.

My mom worked in a trauma and ICU type setting, and the people she hated the most, and who were uually the biggest jerks, were the ones that would say “Keep dad alive no matter what it takes.”

Yes, he did!

I’ve had 2 different secretaries spend 6 months a piece sitting on grand juries, and they both said they send everything remotely prosecutable to trial.

Yes, of course he did. I didn’t want to criticize somebody’s mother, so I asked him to reconsider his use of words. Instead,.....

No, he screwed up the interpretation of what I sad before the quote part. Thanks for playing, try again next time.

He did a pretty good job of critisizing his own mother. I can’t imagine accusing my mother of hating people for choosing life over murder.

Help was on the way and in fact got there in a few more hours. Tenet corporate headquarters knew about the need to evacuate these patients and had hired helicopters for that purpose. They were on their way, but the CEO told the staff that no help was coming and that they were on their own.

Nope, it’s true, my mom hated the types who would force the hospital to keep 104 year old granddad alive at all costs, because they are generally ignorant and don’t know love.hey are generally guilty of never really loving the person and will try to makke up for i in the last few moments (or decades of mechanical life) before the person passes.

Have some friggin compassion, let the dead die.

If you were on a grand jury, would you vote to indict someone for murder if you believed they euthanized patients in a situation like this? Your prior posts tend to suggest you wouldn’t. Do you really think you’re unique? Is it beyond your imagination that there could be others who support murder in special circumstances?

I’ve posted this before, but since the story is back in the immediate news, here it is again for anyone interested in what went on at the hospital at that time.

Read about it under the heading For Dear Life.

Well, you knew her. I didn’t. I suppose you must have learned your ways from someone, so maybe what you say is true. But still, I couldn’t talk that way about my mother.

I was in New Orleans about a week ago. I tuned into local talk radio trying to find a station that carried Rush. Instead, I got a steady diet over 2 days about this case, which I hadn't really thought much about since the story first came out.

What I heard was that there was overwhelming public support for Dr. Pou and hatred for the prosecutors. The basis of these opinons was not that she was not guilty of the charges, but instead fell into 2 common themes: 1) she was right to kill the patients, and 2) if we let the authorities pursue her, all the doctors will leave New Orleans.

Given those dynamics, I can't say that I am surprised by this grand jury's decision.
