Parole Board to Rule on Kevorkian Appearance
People who don't like the idea of convicted killer Jack Kevorkian
getting $50,000 to speak to college students in Florida are clinging
to hopes that the Michigan Parole Board will nix the out-of-state
trip.
But the board, which has to approve such travel, isn't saying. `(The
Parole Board) didn't say when exactly they would let him go, but they
told him to take (the engagement) under the advisement that the
approval is pending,' Russ Marlan, spokesman for the Michigan
Department of Corrections, told LifeSiteNews.com, which reported that
a contract has been signed.
Kevorkian, who recently completed eight years in prison for
second-degree murder in connection with one of his many
physician-assisted suicides, has been invited to speak Oct. 11 at the
University of Florida, Gainesville. The topic: assisted suicide. A
`Say No to Dr. Death' petition movement has been organized in
opposition, and pro-life Michiganders are urging people to call the
university to protest the event.
