Pancreatic cancer is a nasty and painful way to die. Siebert is likely to be begging for someone to put him down before it is all over.

In the meantime the AG's office has plenty of other cases that need their attention and their share of our tax dollars would be better utilized.
You're asking for something that makes too much sense. Things just don't work that way.
