The man who helped his chronically ill wife commit suicide burst into tears outside court after being discharged without conviction.
“I think it’s a miracle. It’s so good that New Zealand has the vision to say what is right and wrong,” said Evans Mott a few minutes after his sentencing at the High Court at Auckland today.
“It couldn’t be a better legacy for Rosie, thank God some good has come of this. What more can I say?
“Commonsense prevails. It’s commonsense. People should have the right to choose [when to die].”
Mr Mott, 61, pleaded guilty to assisting the suicide of his wife Rosie Mott who was diagnosed several years ago with an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis, a degenerative condition for which there is no cure.
