Joel Hirschhorn Quotations

She's 64 years old. She's a frail woman. I think she's in a state of shock, understandably so.

Sprawl is killing people, some 300,000 premature deaths annually because of the sprawl sedentary lifestyle, and it is killing our natural environment, scenic vistas, biodiversity, rural towns and much more.

She did what she thought in her own professional judgment was best. She might not have been right, but that certainly doesn't mean she was criminally liable.

Hers was a small-town practice. She knew a lot of her patients. Most had no insurance and therefore could not afford the tests the state's experts said they needed to do.

I just don't understand how they could have convicted her on the trafficking, especially with those tapes.

I think the jury tried hard, but that doesn't mean I can't be bitterly disappointed. This could put someone behind bars for the rest of her life for something I'm not convinced is a crime, but unfortunately the state of Florida has made it so.
