American laws aren't quite human and are unrealistic in many situations. A particular criminal defendant can be
sentenced to two or more lifetimes in prison.
Look at it. How many lives can one person live realistically? What's the logic there?
So, this radiologist's wife is doing the right thing for the family. They want a family after
a tragic fall. They don't want more disasters by having him locked up away from the family.
The law wants to separate the family more after the tragedy. That's not realistically human or a good
outcome for the people.
The wife makes good sense.
