The judge said it does not mat- ter that Mrs. Morrell's "death was inevitable and her days were numbered" T she had suf- fered a stroke two years before her death and was afflicted by arteriosclerosis.

"If her life was cut short by weeks or months. it is just as much murder as if it was cut short by years," the judge de- eiared.
