Kevorkian leaves prison after 8 years
COLDWATER, Mich. â?? Jack Kevorkian had few words but a broad smile as he walked out of prison Friday, ending eight years behind bars for helping end the life of a man suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.
The retired pathologist known as "Dr. Death" said his release felt "wonderful â?? one of the high points in life" as he paused near a van that was waiting to drive him to the home of friends in suburban Detroit.
Outside a gift shop across from the 25-acre prison grounds, about a dozen people stood in a show of support. The group held signs bearing such phrases as "Jack, we're glad you're out of the box" and "Dr. K is on his way!"
The attention focused on a man who claimed participation in at least 130 assisted suicides brought a rebuke from the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit.
"For 10 years, Jack Kevorkian's actions resembled those of a pathological serial killer. It will be truly regrettable if he's now treated as a celebrity parolee instead of the convicted murderer he is," archdiocese spokesman Ned McGrath said in a statement.
The 79-year-old Kevorkian, wearing his trademark blue cardigan and a striped shirt and tie, spoke only a few words to reporters after leaving the prison with his lawyers and legal assistants.

Glad to see him released........trying to ease the pain of those suffering shouldn't be a crime.
