Dr. Sanders had been a known and respected member of his community for many years. He was born in New Hampshire, where his father had been an official of the Public Service Corporation of New Haxripshire. In college, Dr. Sanders had been captain of the Dartmouth ski team as well as a member of the college symphony orchestra. He had recently returned from Europe where he had continued his study of medicine. Until the tim me of the mercy killing, his reputation was excellent. Dr. Sanders had been considered a trusted and honored physician.
In response to the charges hurled against him, Dr…… Sanders claimed that he had done no wrong. The woman had been within hours of her death. Moved by pity, he had merely hastened an extremely brutal end. The Sunday after his arrest; Dr. Sanders and his family attended services at their church as usual. His minister and other clergymembers across the state openly expressed their support.
One minister in a nearby town preached a stirring sermon in Dr. Sanders' defense. He said that if the doctor was guilty, he was guilty too. For he had often prayed that some suffering parishioner might be “eased into the experience of death” . I.ater that day 605 of the 650 registered voters in his town presented Dr. Sanders with a written testimonial to his integrity and goodwill. They told him to use it wherever it might help him to prove his innocence.
However, their efforts did little good. The attorney-general of New Hampshire firmly stated that “the case will be presented forcefully and in complete detail, regardless of the personalities involved, to the end that justice may be met”。 In response, hundreds of Dr. Sanders' fellow townspeople offered to testify on his behalf. They signed petitions urging the courts to dismiss the case. Nevertheless, a grand jury indicted him for first-degree murder. “All I can say,” stated Sanders, “is that I am not guilty of any legal or moral wrong and ultimately my position will be vindicated.
