Mr. Law

There is a news item on the BBC today,

"The case of a Canadian man accused of supplying a poisonous chemical to people who died by suicide will head straight to trial. ... Mr. Law may have sent more than 1,200 parcels containing lethal substances to around 40 countries ..."

A close friend of mine committed suicide. She wrote in her suicide letter, 

"I have acquired a border-controlled substance. ... This choice carries an extraordinary amount of years in jail ... but it was a risk I was prepared to take and I have done so without compromising anyone ..."

If it happened to be Mr. Law, there is no doubt that someone was compromised. There are other people, I know, who feel deeply about my friend's death. I believe that the rationale behind her suicide was distorted. But sadly, it seemed logical to her.
