Jack Kevorkian, the doctor jailed for participating in physician-assisted suicides, is expected to be used as an expert witness in a Brunswick pollution case. Kevorkian is expected to provide a written or taped deposition from prison for lawyers of the nearly 200 people suing Allied Signal Incorporated, which formerly owned LCP Chemicals' Turtle River chemical plant. Kevorkian, who is serving out a ten-to-25-year prison sentence in Michigan, did research in the 1970s on mercury and its toxicity.

I remember when the news hit several years ago... I could be wrong, but it seems like they reported that they had lost something like 320,000 gallons of mercury...

That really explains Glynn County's politicians. The phrase "Mad as a hatter" quickly comes to mind.

Wow, I've felt so save since this guy has been in prison.
