Graham admits to administering these injections, but insists he wasn't there the night of Sal's overdose.Was it suicide, mercy, or murder?

I was so confused nearing the end of the book I wasn't sure who did what. One thing was for certain, no one should have been punished for "murdering" a man dying of a terminal brain tumor and advanced alzheimers who had a known DNR. I was glad to see things unravel for the judge, don't know why. Maybe it's one of those "down with the man" things. In the end it didn't seem like anyone was truly innocent.
