So if it was not murder what was it?

It was a death. Not all deaths are murder. Not even all volitional deaths are murder. Proof of that is that when the great miscarriage of justice was brought against Dr. Kevorkian, they had to pass a new statute proscribing "assisted suicide." It was not within the scope of our standard 'murder' statutes.

What are you complaining about? The courts found him guilty, did they not? You seem disappointed that death does not rule, absolutely.

You did not answer my question. It was a death - that one is obvious but the mechanism by which she died is what we were referring to. If someone put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger would that be murder?
