Former Doctor Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter in Assisted Suicide Case

Stephen Miller, 85, avoids prison with probation sentence after aiding in the suicide of a New York woman suffering from chronic pain.

Stephen Miller traveled from Arizona to assist Doreen Brodhead's suicide in a Kingston motel.
Miller was charged under a New York law prohibiting assistance in suicide.
He was sentenced to five years of probation as part of a plea agreement.
Miller's legal team argued he provided minimal technical assistance out of compassion.
The former doctor, previously convicted of tax fraud, lost his medical license in 2006.
