Judge allows stay as Bouvin fights bid to end life
In a California courtroom Scott said the hospital must keep Ms. Bouvin until Jan 3 to permit an appeal to the 2nd District Court of Appeal and possible stay actions such as force feeding. He praised his client as resilient and hopeful while noting she is unable to take her own life. The judge found her rational, rejecting suggestions that her vows stemmed from personal disappointments. Outside, Bouvin urged reconciliation with her husband Richard, hoping she might change her mind.

Attorney Says Client Decided to Change Plea
The attorney for a McDowell County man convicted of first degree murder and first degree sexual assault says his client chose to switch from innocent to guilty during the trial, not the defense. William Howard Cecil III, 20, was sentenced to life without parole for murder and 1 to 5 years for abuse. Cecil later claimed ineffective counsel. The state contends Cecil voluntarily changed his pleas after cautions by counsel and the judge.
