Woman Charged With Assisting Suicide Of WWII Vet

"It appears throughout our investigation that he wanted to die and she assisted him," Amormino told ABC News, adding that the motive for Barrett to help Koency is unknown.
Barrett's attorney is saying that his client was merely trying to help an elderly friend take his prescribed medication and was unaware that he wanted to die, the Register reported.
"There is a significant difference between helping a friend take his medication and helping someone commit suicide," Barrett's attorney David Borsari told the Register. "We are very adamant that the decedent never indicated in any way that he wanted to die."
