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.

You invited yourself here
to make a final stand.
You invited yourself
to the wrong forum.
Our nation tolerates
differences 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 about 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 the
supreme court.
Moreover, you've defied
your own medical profession.
This trial was about lawlessness,
About your 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.
- Yeah, doc!
Yeah, doc!
You the man,
Jack! You the man!
Hey, Jack!
