paragraphs
Dale and
Mike Parak were twin brothers and best friends. They spent their entire lives
looking out for each other’s interests. While growing up, the two were
inseparable. They played sports together, double dated frequently, and attended
the same university. They grew closer as they aged, they got married at about
the same time, and eventually both were divorced. After they retired from their
jobs, they decided to live together to save money, and they still enjoyed each
other’s company.
When he
was 70-years old, Mike was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors predicted he had
about 6 months to live. The brothers, however, agreed that Mike should not
suffer. Mike and Dale wrote and signed a note stating that they decided to
commit suicide. Dale broke 20 tranquilizers into Mike’s evening meal and
watched as he ate it. Yet when Dale checked on Mike one hour later, Mike was
still alive. Dale panicked. He took a .38-caliber revolver from his desk and
shot Mike, killing him instantly. Dale then went into the kitchen and took a
handful of tranquilizers. He did not die. He awoke the next morning as somebody
pounded on the front door. It was a neighbor who, seeing that Dale was dazed
and confused, decided to call an ambulance and the police.
The
responding police officer conducted an investigation, and Dale was arrested and
charged with the murder of his brother, Mike. The prosecutor, although noting
it to be a difficult case, pursued the case because she thought no citizen had
the right to decide when someone should die. Dale Parak pled guilty to
first-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 5 years in a maximum-security
prison. (Note: This was the lowest sentence that could be given to a defendant
convicted of his crime.)
