Kevorkian released from prison in Michigan
Jack Kevorkian walked free from the Coldwater prison after eight years for aiding a man's death. He smiled, thanked supporters near a van, and planned to stay with friends in suburban Detroit. The release drew protests from the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit over his alleged role in many assisted-person crises.
