KEVORKIAN RELEASED – ABOUT TIME!

By KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN, Associated Press Writer

Jack Kevorkian, the retired pathologist dubbed “Dr. Death” for claims that he participated in at least 130 assisted suicides, left prison after eight years Friday still believing people have the right to die.

A smiling Kevorkian, now 79, said it was “one of the high points in life” as he walked out with his attorney.

Mike Wallace, the correspondent for “60 Minutes,” whose airing of a Kevorkian-aided suicide led to the charges and his prison term, met Kevorkian outside with an embrace and the words, “Hello, young man.” Kevorkian is to appear in a “60 Minutes” segment on Sunday.

Attorney Mayer Morganroth said his client planned a news conference on Tuesday.
