Have any of you read what this guy is all about?
He's a pathelogical liar, addictied to alcohol, porn and all sorts of unsavery "stuff".
He recently visited a prostitute he met on line...a habit he had...call that a loving husband?
His wife, Virginia had carpal tunnel on her hands thats caused the weakness.
She was in overall good health, was visiting freinds, going shopping, to movies, out to dinner with freinds....
looks like to me in no way was she suffering.
She was having loads of fun going out with freinds...
people who are ill don't do such on a regular basis.
I can hardly get out of bed sometimes, pain, muscle weakness/twitching, fatigue.
Her Kaiser Neurologist, Dr Jack Stigler NEVER told her or anyone that she had ALS...
so this is total fabrication on someones part and NOT by medical persons.
He diagnosed her with a motor neuon disease, but NOT ALS.

News article:
Medical records obtained by detectives in this case show Virginia Roberts had pain and weakness in her hands and wrists.
In 2005 she was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Following surgery in 2006, she enjoyed some relief but later reported a return of the pain. On September 11, 2007, Virginia Roberts was examined by Portland Neurologist, Dr. Jack Stigler. Dr. Stigler diagnosed Virginia Roberts with "motor neuron disease." Dr. Stigler reports there are many potential causes of "motor neuron disease" and patients have many different outcomes. Dr. Stigler states he explained to Virginia Roberts the condition could stabilize or slowly worsen and spread to other limbs.
Virginia Roberts was examined again by Dr. Stigler on November 7, 2007 and November 16, 2007 and his diagnosis remained the same. The defendant was present during the final visit. Dr. Stigler reports he did not tell the defendant nor Virginia Roberts that she had ALS or any terminal disease.
**********************************
I've been recently diagnosed with Polymyositis...pretty bad disease to have, but not anywhere near comparrison to ALS...
I once worried it was that because of the muscle weakness/twitching, swalloing problems and few other fun "stuff" I must deal with. I've been chronically ill now for over 20 years....and I still find something to live for.
I've also dealt with Carpal tunnel, had surgery on both hands, and yes its come back, but only slightly.
When at its worst, I still could use my hands to write...so the story of her not being able to write a suicide note because of her carpal tunnel...is also a lie...the night of my surgery I was using my hands!...so one could if they wanted, write a good bye note!
I doubt Virginia wanted to die...even if she did/does have ALS...she's in very begining stages.
I've read every article I could on this "Mercy Killing"...we live less than 10 miles from them...so is all over the news here.
From what I've read....this guy has a few screws loose AND is down right evil!
I could understand wanting to die as I too was once there when at my worst and had been 100% bedridden with fatigue and muscle weakness...turned out most of my problems were a B12 deficiency...thanks to Rose here my life began to take a turn for better once I got the proper form of B12....perhaps is all thats wrong with Virginia too.
How sad....from what I've read and news stories close to home, no way did Virginia have plans to die, nor was she suffering...perhaps weakness in her hands...but not bedridden, body wide pain like one would expect in a MND.
She didn't even have Fibromyalgia!...that in itself is bad enough!
Keep reading....the story is only in its begining....I'll bet when the truth is shown...
this guys motives won't be an act of mercy on a suffering wife!
In the TV news story about this, her neighbors all felt she was very healthy woman and in no way was she ill.
A prominant Neurologist, Dr Ellison here in Portland Oregon, found her in perfect health and was very surprised when she told him that a Kaiser doctor had told her she had Motor Neuron disease/ALS because he found her to be in good health.
One would think anyone suffering would at least look ill or show SOME signs of having catastrophic illnesses such as ALS....somehow carpul tunnel just isn't up there with such!
Oh..and get this...if she had pain, then why did she ONLY take very few Vicodin on a very minimal basis...she wasn't being seen by pain specialist like those who do have chronic pain...a few Vicodin here and there is NOT a life with pain!
John Roberts had a bad habit of making up crazy stories, a few years ago he had his family convinced that Virginia had end stage cancer...was a total lie.
His first wife was and still is terrified of him...he's done some very elaborate and crazy "things" to her and a few others, jokes about it too. She was married to him 18 years, stated he was a master manipulator and she had to do anything and everything to please him "OR ELSE!"....this guy ain't no mercy killer!
I hope he never gets out of prison....what will he do next?
Hope his celly doesn't complain of a headache!
Google Koin, Katu, Kgw for local news stations...this will link you to this story...you'll see a much different story and realize this was NO mercy killing! The man is Evil AND crazy!...sure glad my husband didn't listen to me when I didn't want to live as I feared the worst....but my EMG and NC test proves I don't have ALS!...thank God!
I don't know how you guys can handle such diagnosis...just worrying about this the few months I was told it may be such, about drove me to take my life....I'm just not that "brave". Blessings to you, those who suffer.
Just my 2 cents here!

Here's some more links...you will begin to learn what this "guy" is all about once you read a few articles...too scarey!
