Judge DeSalvo

If I was the Judge DeSalvo and I was ruling on Anna's case I think it would be a very hard decision but I think I would rule in Anna's favor based on the information presented. I would rule this way because of the recommendation of Julia and seeing Anna as an adult. Throughout the case I think Anna handled it very maturely with an adult point of view even when she was doing this for her sister. She went through all the pain and hardships that came with the case for her sister because she asked her to. If she was able to do that then she would be able to make her own decisions about her medical needs. Throughout the case I understood where Sara was coming from as both a lawyer and a mom. she was trying to separate the to roles but it was impossible. This was a battle she could never imagine having to fight, she had to think of her family and what was best for it. She saw Anna making sacrifices but couldn't see that Anna was being take over as a person. Before the trial Sara didn't see the effects Anna was experiencing but once she made the connection she finally understood. When that happened Sara as a mother came to the courtroom, a mother begging for her child to save her sister's life. Now when looking at Campbell as a judge I would see a big ego, until he had that seizure. Originally I would have viewed him as any other lawyer, trying to get publicity and win the case. I think Campbell goes through a change from being Anna's lawyer to truly caring about her and her life. He changes and people finally understand why he has secrets and why he acts the way he does.
