There was no scene of a crime involved here -
Indeed she committed no crime except to become ill. A murderer would have a better chance than she on the fact finding level (i.e. a jury).
You know exactly what I'm trying to say here. No sh*t there's no crime scene. I wasn't suggesting that there was a crime scene. I was using that as an example to show that judges on a regular basis go to look at the source of whatever has brought the two parties before him or her in court.
There was nothing to stop this judge from going to the Hospice himself to see Terri with his own eyes.
But God forbid he might do that and put a "face" on this person he's sentened to death.
And then he might find out too that one of his contributors to his campaign lied to him about the state of his clients wife.
Can't have that happen now can we? Can't do anything to cut off the campaign cash can we?
