Back to Dr. Kevorkian. He wasn't content just to quietly assist ill people in ending their lives. He wanted to be a historical figure, the leader of the right-to-die movement. At first, the machine he designed and hooked up to people, the person pressed the button. But he got put in prison when he gave a video to the news media where HE pressed the button. The prosecutors had no choice but to charge him. He taunted the press and the legal system. He thought his supporters would rally around the prison, he would be released and be a hero, but it didn't work out that way.
