The poor guy who finally gave in to his disabled wife's pleas to help her to die, and is now a convicted criminal may have been wrong, or misguided, but an idiot?

A victim more like.

"st-clares He was an idiot, all criminals are,

If that it true please explain all the unsolved murders and big heists."

Isn't someone only a criminal once convicted by a court?

A criminal is someone who commits an act that has been passed by parliament.

Almost all serious crime is detected and the perpetrator sentenced, unfortunately for those of us who are generally good citizens suffer the consequences of inadequate sentencing.

So many criminals have a slapped wrist sentence and go on to commit more serious crimes.

It would appear from the previous 4 posts he is a hero when in fact he is a menace.

I don't think they would take that attitude if he had had a collision with their car caused serious injury or death.

Most criminals along with too many other people think vehicle insurance is for others not them. If they get caught the fine is so paltry it wouldn't get them third party cover.

The same applies to all other criminal acts, "I want it and I will get it and I don't care how much pain and stress I cause".

How is expressing sympathy for an old man who carried out his seriously ill wife's last wishes seen as making a car thief a hero?
