I have really mixed feelings about this "John Ritter Wrongful Death" issue.
On one hand, YES...doctors should be all-knowing, all-powerful, infallible, the manifestation of GOD on EARTH.

On the other hand, there's no one walking the face of the earth...including physicians...who is "perfect."

I dunno.

That's all I've got.

"I don't know."

On one hand, it sounds like opportunistic CRAP. raiding the graveyard, exhuming the dead, sucking profit from their embalmed corpses.

On the other, I'm not John Ritter, I didn't die, and I'm not a family member looking at a mother-huge payday.

He did die, QUICKLY, on the set of his TV show, doing what he loved.

I know people who have died over a number of YEARS, afraid and TERRIFIED, but I am not GOD.

Sometimes it's not about the loss of John Ritter.

Sometimes it's about huge amounts of money falling out of your ASS.

I'm not the best judge of that.

Another TV Star at Ritter Trial

Jurors in the John Ritter wrongful death trial Tuesday saw actress Katey Sagal choke up on the stand as she fondly recalled her late costar.

"I loved John Ritter, so anytime I talk about John Ritter, I'm filled with love and sadness," Sagal said, per Los Angeles' KABC-TV. "You know, I miss him."

Sagal, who played Ritter's wife on 8 Simples Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter and before that worked Peg Bundy's leggings for 11 seasons on Married...with Children, was the second prime-time fixture, after Happy Days' Henry Winkler, to testify in the civil trial.

Ritter's widow, actress Amy Yasbeck, and the late star's four children, including actor Jason Ritter, are suing a cardiologist and radiologist whom they claim both missed a crucial defect in Ritter's heart that led to the TV icon's death from a torn aorta on Sept. 11, 2003.
