Michelle's attorney is happy as a clam. So is Michelle, who can now stop trying to do the surgery on herself, or trying to end her life, like she ended Cheryl's.
"We are very happy with the ruling, of course. We are still reviewing the opinion and we anticipate the Department of Corrections will follow Judge Wolf's order and promptly arrange for Michelle Kosilek to receive her treatment," Kosilek's attorney Joseph Sulman said Tuesday.Since when is gender reassignment a necessary "treatment"?
Federal Court Judge Mark L. Wolf believes that the surgery is the
"only adequate treatment" for Kosilek, and "that there is no less intrusive means to correct the prolonged violation of Kosilek's Eighth Amendment right to adequate medical care.""Medical care"? Since when is cosmetic surgery, because basically that's what it is, medically necessary? Maybe she should have thought twice before strangling her wife to death. Murderers don't deserve any special treatment other than basic food and medical care.
Since Wolf's decision, however, Mass. Governor Patrick Deval has said they will look into this further, although they're not sure if they will appeal. The state was not for the surgery, though I'm sure being a Democrat, Deval will cave.
