Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia

In the News: Al Pacino plays the title character in the new HBO film You Don’t Know Jack: The Life and Deaths of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Although he had been tried numerous times for his roles in other suicides, Kevorkian was eventually convicted in 1999 and served eight years in prison on a second-degree murder conviction. Upon his release, he agreed not to assist in future suicides.
