Assisted suicide or murder? The bizarre case of Jeffrey Locker

Assisted suicide or murder? The bizarre case of Jeffrey Locker: The case is so bizarre, it would take too long to summarize the plot. But the motivational speaker (irony!) allegedly talked his murderer into helping him (beware the breed!) to ensure his family collected millions of dollars in life insurance that would not be paid if his death were ruled a suicide.

Most telling:

During three days of jury selection, many potential jurors were disqualified when they said they could not convict a person who helped another commit suicide.

'I believe in euthanasia,' said one.

Another cited the 'very, very long and painful death' of his father and said he wished it had been legal to help him die.

Advocates of euthanasia say the case points up the difference between helping someone who is not dying commit suicide and helping a dying patient end suffering."
