Quote

Judge Cooper: You invited yourself here to make a final stand. Judge Cooper: You invited yourself to the wrong forum. Judge Cooper: Our nation tolerates differences of opinions, because we have a civilized and non-violent way of resolving our conflicts. Judge Cooper: We have the means and methods to protest laws with which we disagree. Judge Cooper: You can criticize the law, lecture about the law, speak to the media or petition voters. Judge Cooper: 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. Judge Cooper: No one's unmindful of the controversy and emotion that exists over end-of-life issues and pain control. Judge Cooper: 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. Judge Cooper: But this trial was not about that controversy. Judge Cooper: This trial was about you, sir. Judge Cooper: You've ignored and challenged the legislature and the supreme court. Judge Cooper: Moreover, you've defied your own medical profession. Judge Cooper: This trial was about lawlessness, about your disregard for a society that exists and flourishes because of the strength of our legal system. Judge Cooper: No one is above the law. Judge Cooper: You had the audacity to go on national television, show the world what you did, and dare the legal system to stop you. Judge Cooper: You publicly and repeatedly announced your intentions to disregard the laws of Michigan. Judge Cooper: Because of this, I am imposing the maximum sentence of 10 to 25 years. Judge Cooper: You may now, sir, consider yourself stopped.
