...editing process. But, who did the editing? We don't know." Can prosecutors prove that Kelly is the man who made the tape, Adam asked. "I'm telling you, they can't," he said. Among other key questions: Why are prosecutors planning to call to testify a North Carolina doctor who apparently has never interviewed the alleged victim? And, just how did the tape wind up at the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002? If found guilty, Kelly could be sentenced to 15 years in prison...

Some critics say that women and minorities are quicker than others to feel like a financial or emotional burden to their families, and may be more easily persuaded to end their lives. Research from Colorado State University shows that of the 75 suicides Michigan doctor Jack Kevorkian assisted through 1997, 72% were women, and more than three-quarters of those women, while certainly ill and suffering, were not expected to die within six months.
