Jail for helping friend suicide 'a savage first' | The Australian: Merin Nielsen and Frank Ward had been friends for 30 years and Nielsen was the sole beneficiary of Ward's estate, the Supreme Court in Brisbane was told.
Judge Jean Dalton said Nielsen had deliberately defied the law and sentenced him to a three-year term. But the former teacher, now studying for a PhD in philosophy, would be released on parole on August 15, meaning he would serve only six months.He also said there was no evidence Ward had been seriously ill at the time he took the lethal dose obtained by Nielsen.
