Our nation tolerates difference of opinions, because we have a civilized and non-violent way of resolving our conflicts. We have the means and methods to protest laws with which we disagree.
You can criticize the law, Lecture by the law, Speak to the media or petition voters, but you must always stay within the limits provided by the law.
You may not break the law, or take the law into your own hands.
No one's unmindful of the controversy and emotion that exists over end-of-life issues and pain control.
I assume the debate will continue in a calm and reasoned forum long after this trial.
And your activities have faded from the public memory.
But this trial was not about that controversy. This trial was about you, sir.
You've ignored and challenged the legislature and Supreme Court.
Moreover, you're defied your own medical profession.
This trail was about lawlessness, about you disregard for a society that exists and flourishes, because of the strength of our legal system.
No one is above the law.
You had the audacity to go on national television, show the world what you did, and dare the legal system to stop you.
You publicly and repeatedly announced your intentions to disregard the laws of Michigan.
Because of this, I am imposing the maximum sentence of 10 to 25 years.
You may now, sir, consider yourself stopped.
