Judge Karen Khalil aka “right to be ugly” of Redford township mi.has possibly been given a small part in the movie which she plays herself. what where the producers thinking? there might be a class action lawsuit filed from all the TV screens breaking!! i feel sorry for Dr Jack Kevorkian and Al Pacino and Barry Levinson being in the same room as Karen Khalil talk about suffering the things that the right to die people had to go thru to win their rights.
