Woman investigated over husband’s use of assisted dying clinic wanted to argue case in court
The article discusses the case of Louise Shackleton, a 59-year-old woman who was under investigation for accompanying her husband to an assisted dying clinic in Switzerland. Shackleton said she wished her case had gone to trial so she could have argued her innocence in front of a jury. The police investigation lasted 10 months, but the Crown Prosecution Service ultimately decided not to prosecute, citing a lack of public interest. Shackleton believes the current law is "traumatizing families" and she wanted the opportunity to prove her innocence in court.
