Woman shoots terminally ill husband in hospital. If I was the judge in the case, I'd throw out the murder charge, and just hit her with ones related to having a gun in a hospital.
I would love to know what the medical problem was. Hospice is a thing for terminally ill patients in florida. They do not outright kill you, but they do hammer you with morphine while letting your body die. I have watched it happen 4 times with my grandparents at this point. I guess it depends on what terminal means, and what he had, but there are options for non treatment and DNRs. There is more to this than the article is saying. It is pretty easy with a terminal painful illness over 75 to get what is basically medicated to death. It might be that these people did not want hospice care, or considered it "bad." I could understand not liking how they let the body die while medicated out of pain would perhaps be bad looking. However, the hospice people are fucking saints and they really do what they can to comfort the patient and their visitors at the end. They do not terminate the patient with chemicals, but they do hit them with a shitton of heavy painkillers. I have a billion things to hate about the duh. Elderly end of life care is as good as it gets here in america. It should be noted that people who have been together all their lives can be severely emotional when their partner is terminal. If this was a suicide pact I could still understand the circumstances.
Ugh. What a horrible situation. So glad to live in a decent state where this wouldn’t be necessary. We passed the Death With Dignity Initiative (I-1000) back in 2008. If I did somehow end up in JesusLand and had to do something like this I’d ask for the Minnesota Goodbye. Minnesota Man Threw Terminally Sick Wife a Meth-fueled Death Party Where They Listened to Quiet Riot, Had Sex https://www.newsweek.com/minnesota-meth-wife-death-party-quiet-riot-1312563
Actually, fuck Death with Dignity. I want the Minnesota Goodbye regardless. Just need to figure out a way to ensure none of my partners catch any charges.
I think listening to Quiet Riot counts as a war crime, so a better music selection would be a place to start.
St. Peter: "Welcome to Heaven!" Husband: "I'll be right with you - just waiting on someone." St. Peter: "Oh. Well, thing is - your wife didn't go through with the pact. So, good news is you can come on in!" Husband: "Oh no. My poor sweet girl. Shit. Well ... guess I'll make the best of it till she gets here - at least I'll know she's going to a better place." St. Peter: "Ummm..." Husband: "What?" St. Peter: "We are rather pedantic on the whole murder thing." Husband: "What?!" St. Peter: "Not really your day is it?"
