LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Some relatives of people who died with Dr. Jack Kevorkian's help say his release from prison stirs up grief over the deaths of their loved ones. Others are grateful for the services the retired pathologist offered to family members.
Kevorkian, 79, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of a man with Lou Gehrig's disease. He is scheduled to walk out of a southern Michigan prison Friday after serving just over eight years of a 10- to 25-year sentence. He got a year and nine months off his sentence for good behavior.
"It's like the wound that was starting to heal has been cut open again," said Tina Allerellie, whose sister turned to Kevorkian in August 1997 after suffering for years with multiple sclerosis.
