Kevorkian discovered, for example, that he couldn't call the witnesses he wanted. The judge declared that the family of Thomas Youk, to whom Kevorkian had given a lethal injection, would raise the consent of the patient as a defense--one that was irrelevant in a murder case.

Within a year, their results were published in a seminal paper in the Lancet. As the world took notice, they swiftly demonstrated that injections of penicillin caused miraculous recoveries in patients with a variety of infections...
