As far as I am aware, it's not going to affect my life (though I hear from friends that he was involved in and influential on many, many areas of life that I care about, so...), so I'm not personally horrified.
But it sure does suck. I've lived through family dying of cancer - it's not pretty. It won't be here, either. I hope things go well for him, as much as I generally don't send the whole world of strangers at large random hostilities.
As for all your car accident discussions... Yep, it was shady. And? It's clear from the nasty comments that if you *did* have the money and power to do so, you would have done the same thing in his place. Why do we all think we're better people? We're not. I can tell you that I would have been horrified if something like that happened, and I would be having nightmares of guilt for the rest of my life. But I'd still fight like hell to stay out of jail. Hey, it's not like I would have killed that girl on purpose, and would see very little point in my being in jail for it. But I'm more willing to admit to my general selfishness than you self-deluded folks, I guess.
