Love or Law

prompt: Guilty as charged but..........



In 1985 there was an emotional case against Mr. Roswell Gilbert. He went to trail for, as they say, killing his wife. As this trail went forth there were plenty of this happening.



The ruling in this case was unthinkable. Yes he was guilty for murder but her only did as his loved on asked. Only if you have walked in their shoes, do you know the feelings and reaction to the situation. His wife was sick and tried of hurting. She wanted to dye with dignity and painless. We will never know his true feelings about helping his wife because his main reason was to honor his wife. in the bible, honor is a word that is used, during a wedding ceremony, as part of the wedding vows.



This situation has three ways of looking at it. Lawfully it was wrong and some say morally it was wrong. His wedding vows, which comes out of the bible, he was Honoring his word to love. They charged him for not breaking the law of love. They didn't consider how he felling afterwards but he broke the law and they say he should be punished. Even after the sentence it doesn't matter because his soul really died the second his wife did.



I can remember there being a doctor death. He was a doctor people went to to take them out of pain. he went to trail and was sentence in jail. After he was released, he said he would not do it any more.
