I believe that the jury in this case did the right thing, and we are obviously very happy with the results. They seemed to have little difficulty coming to the decision they did, seeing it only took them about an hour to come up with a decision.

This is a case of mercy, not murder. No jury will ever convict Dr. Kevorkian.

It's obviously something to be very happy about.

We thought that a not guilty verdict was the only fair decision.

The first problem with an insanity defense is you're admitting what you did. It's not a defense that's ever employed with relish. It's difficult to persuade jurors of a lack of criminal responsibility unless you have someone who meets the stereotype of mental illness.

It's more likely that you can lose a case in jury selection than win the case.
