Dr. Jack Kevorkian Files Petition for Pardon, Parole or Commutation of Prison Sentence

Mayer Morganroth, the attorney representing Dr. Jack Kevorkian, filed application with the Michigan Board of Parole and Governor Jennifer M. Granholm Friday seeking the pardon, parole or commutation of Dr. Kevorkian to time served.

"Dr. Kevorkian is 78-years-old," Morganroth said via telephone. "Jack doesn't have very many days left. For God's sake, he's been locked up for more than seven years for an offense that not one doctor in the United States has spent even one day in prison. It's time for compassion ... it's past time."

The petition and doctors state that Dr. Kevorkian will probably not survive another year if kept in prison, because his health has deteriorated so rapidly.

What's Love Got to Do With It?

Abacus Wealth Partners Helps Couples Face Finances and Fears

Accoding to Spencer Sherman, CEO and founder of Abacus Wealth Partners, LLC "Money can be a portal to intimacy or a firewall that keeps couples apart. "With eighty percent of his clientele couples, Sherman sees firsthand how money affects a relationship regardless of a couple's wealth. According to Sherman, financial strife between partners is often due to "money messages" they learned as children and that by simply having separate bank accounts does not solve their money problems.

"These messages can trigger feelings such as fear and anxiety," says Sherman. "Many times people make important financial decisions from their emotions rather than relying on proven strategies. As a result, they fail at increasing their wealth, and as we've seen from the statistics, they can also fail in sustaining relationships."
