Show time
in court for
Kevorkian
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) —
Jack Kevorkian’s back in court.
It’s show time.
See the doctor mugging for the
cameras in cardboard stocks,
dragging a fake ball and chain.
Now he’s parading in a white wig
and knee breeches — his retro-
colonial look.
Always nearby is attorney,
spokesman and agent Geoffrey
Nels Fieger. Watch Fieger call
the prosecutor a clown and in
sult the judiciary’s integrity.
Marvel as he shouts, gestures
and chortles while strolling
down the hall, reporters hang
ing on every word.
Welcome to Jack and Geoff’s
Courthouse Circus.
While it angers many in the
legal establishment, Fieger’s
in-your-face sideshow is part of
a well-planned campaign to
frame the debate in
Kevorkian’s fight to legalize
doctor-assisted suicide.
The image Fieger zealously
promotes is Dr. Kevorkian the
maverick, Dr. Kevorkian the
martyr, Dr. Kevorkian the
brave David up against an out-
of-touch legal Goliath created
by religious fanatics.
So far, it has worked.
Kevorkian this week faces his
third trial on charges that he
broke the law by helping two
women take their lives. He was
acquitted of three assisted suicide
charges in his first two trials.
In defending Kevorkian,
Fieger is protective, loud, intim
idating, theatrical, abrasive,
foul-mouthed and — even his
critics admit — highly effective.
In a short time, Fieger helped
turn an obscure, eccentric bach
elor and retired pathologist into
a household name.
“It would be a major mistake
to underestimate his effective
ness, both in front of the media
or in the courtroom,” Oakland
County Prosecutor Richard
Thompson said.
