The Georgia Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling concludes that 1994 state law “restricts speech in violation of the free speech clauses” of the U.S. and Georgia constitutions. The court’s opinion held that Georgia only criminalized assisted suicides that include a public offering to assist. It said the law didn’t expressly prohibit assist suicide, meaning some were legal in Georgia.
