...silvery sides and blazing red stripe that he had hooked a rainbow trout. Then Duncan saw something else: a jet-black discoloration on the fish's tail and rear section. The trout was clearly diseased. "I was shocked," says the veteran sport fisherman. "You don't expect such a sight out in the remote wilds...
...begins. Button No. 2 and the clincher at the Michigan trial was a simple video of Kevorkian's latest subjects begging to be allowed to die.
