>> Bill Colby, author of “Long Goodbye: The Deaths [? sic] of Nancy Cruzan” and “Unplugged: Reclaiming our Right to Die in America,” ... the attorney who represented Cruzan and her parents in front of the Supreme Court, ... said... “If she [Nancy Cruzan] had talked to her family for five minutes, she’d have spared those people all the public strife they went through.”
This was the crusading lawyer who engineered Nancy Cruzan's death. I think he just obliquely confessed to murder. That case was built on the testimony of several people who supposedly called the Cruzans to say, "You don't know me but I knew Nancy" and told them, in effect, she'd want to die. That was the "clear and convincing" evidence Colby used to kill Cruzan.
But what is Colby saying here? That Nancy could have avoided all this strife if she'd talked to her family for five minutes. Colby is admitting THEY DIDN'T KNOW HER WISHES! There was no evidence she wanted to die. The whole thing was rigged.
No wonder the POS is doing a Lady Macbeth. He has Nancy's blood on his hands.
Ring, Ring. "I knew Nancy, but you don't know me".

From the Frontline transscript:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. COLBY: We have to establish somehow that this is in the best interest of Nancy. You do that by looking at statement she made in her life. If she made clear statement that she wouldn't want these kinds of things, then that's strong evidence to the court. You do that by looking to the substituted judgment of loved ones and people close to her, say to them, "You knew Nancy. You know what she was like. She's not able to tell us now what she would have wanted. What do you think she would have wanted?"
