[quote:Anonymous Coward 17271258:MV80MTgxMTMyXzc2MDE5MTY4XzRGRDE4OTg5] Funny how the average Joe gets convicted by the letter of the law but now all of a sudden the spirit of the law is called into question. Seems we have a compromised justice system that's unfair to all poor people. Time the legal lawyer games ended. [/quote]

A
n Iowa judge on Wednesday rejected an appeal from a convicted murderer who argued that because he suffered a medical emergency in 2015—and died momentarily—he therefore already completed his life-sentence and since then has been unjustly held behind bars over the past four years.
Benjamin Schreiber, 66, was rushed from the Iowa State Penitentiary to the hospital in 2015 after large kidney stones caused him to develop septic poisoning, according to court records.
Schreiber – who had been convicted of first-degree murder in 1997 and sentenced to life without parole – was unconscious by the time he arrived to the hospital, the Des Moines Register reported.
He had signed a "do not resuscitate" order years earlier. Hospital staff also called his brother in Texas who told them "if he is in pain, you may give him something to ease the pain, but otherwise you are to let him pass," court documents said
