Geoffrey Fieger

A suicide machine sits like a trophy in Geoffrey Fieger's office, along with a wall of photos of him and his star client, Dr. Jack Kevorkian. The 42-year-old lawyer used to take the machine on speaking engagements to show how Kevorkian helped people die. Then he decided that was too sensational. Too sensational? For a guy who pinned a red clown nose on a picture of a Kevorkian prosecutor during a news conference?

Nobody disputes that Kenneth Minor held the knife that ripped into the chest of Jeffrey Locker in July 2009 as Locker, a motivational speaker, sat in his car with his hands tied behind his back. Locker, 52, who appeared to have a good life ? a loving wife, three children, a nice home in a comfortable suburb ? died that night, slumped behind the wheel of his shiny black Dodge in what was thought to be a vicious murder and robbery. But jurors hearing the case that opened last week in New York must decide whether Minor was a coldblooded killer or a mere tool in an extraordinary plan by Locker to arrange his own murder ?

Once again, the reporters pilgramaged to the Southfield, Mich., law offices of Geoffrey Fieger, the man who keeps Jack Kevorkian out of jail. Once again, on this hot August afternoon, they knew pretty much what to expect. Fieger has called these command press performances with numbing frequency since 1990, when Kevorkian assisted his first suicide, Janet Adkins, a 54-year-old, Portland, Ore., woman with Alzheimer's disease.

Geoffrey Fieger, the controversial attorney who unsuccessfully ran for Michigan governor in November, intends to challenge Republican Sen. Spencer Abraham in 2000, the Detroit News reported Sunday. Fieger, 47, best known for defending assisted suicide campaigner Jack Kevorkian, told the paper that he had made up his mind to run against Abraham despite a lack of support from Democrats in his race for governor last year. "I am going to run," Fieger told the paper.

Jack Kevorkian's combative lawyer held a small lead in Michigan's Democratic gubernatorial primary. Geoffrey Fieger, who has persuaded three juries to acquit the suicide doctor, portrayed himself as an anti-establishment protector of civil rights. His chief rival was Larry Owen, a lawyer who has courted unions and party leaders. With 79% of precincts reporting, Fieger had 219,000 votes, or 40%, while Owen had 205,529 votes, or 38%. Former U.S.

An ailing 78-year-old Canadian man committed suicide with Dr. Jack Kevorkian's help after consulting with him several times, Kevorkian's attorney said in Bloomfield Township, Mich. Natverlal H. Thakore of British Columbia suffered from Parkinson's disease, said Geoffrey Fieger, Kevorkian's attorney. He killed himself Saturday night. In a letter Fieger sent to the media, Thakore said he wanted to die in a dignified way. It would be the fourth suicide linked to Kevorkian since Aug. 29.

Oakland County officials said Thursday that Democratic gubernatorial nominee Geoffrey Fieger voted in a West Bloomfield Township precinct where he no longer lives. In his first try at public office, Fieger, best known as the lawyer for suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian, won Tuesday's primary with 41% of the vote in a three-way race. He faces two-term incumbent Gov. John Engler at the polls in November. "If anyone wants to claim I voted in the wrong place, they can go to hell," Fieger said.

Jack Kevorkian apparently struck again on the very day the Supreme Court ruled there is no fundamental right to assisted suicide. Hours after Thursday's ruling, a woman was found dead in a motel with a note to call Kevorkian's lawyer. As he has in several other recent suicides, lawyer Geoffrey Fieger hinted strongly that Kevorkian was involved: "I know who's not afraid and who isn't intimidated, and that would be Dr. Kevorkian."

Authorities were trying to determine Monday whether Jack Kevorkian assisted in the deaths of two women, including one found dead in Kevorkian's van. Oakland County Medical Examiner Ljubisa Dragovic ruled one of the deaths a homicide and said autopsies Monday showed that both women died of lethal injections. The unidentified woman found in Kevorkian's 1968 Volkswagen van was not capable of giving herself an injection because her arm was too badly deformed, Dragovic said.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Geoffrey Fieger stridently compares his Republican opponent, Gov. John Engler, to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy--the 1950s communist hunter. Like McCarthy, Fieger yells, Engler is a hatemonger and bigot who wraps himself in the American flag and God. Before this recent day of campaigning is over, Fieger calls Engler a tyrant, racist, fascist, extremist and coward.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian repeatedly asked two women who sought his help committing suicide if they wanted to reconsider, even in the hours before they died, say lawyers representing both the doctor and the women's families. Kevorkian also asked Sherry Miller three times whether she still wanted to die after Miller watched Marjorie Wantz use a machine that Kevorkian devised so she could give herself a lethal injection, the Detroit News reported Sunday.
