I don’t know what the most disturbing part of this story is. That this happened or that this man is a candidate for the state senate in District 24.

From WCMT:

In 2010, Stevens signed an official affidavit admitting to his wrongdoing. Andrews made the following statement and provided background materials on the story:

“Some disturbing news has come to my attention regarding our opponent in this race. This is an incredible story and one that voters deserve to know. It illustrates that John Stevens is a man who simply cannot be trusted.

“The story I am relating is all readily available in the Circuit and Chancery Court Clerks’ offices in the Carroll County Courthouse just across the street from John Stevens’ law office.

Official court documents show that John Stevens broke Tennessee law by interfering with a dying woman’s wish to leave her estate to St. Jude’s Children Hospital – to a hospital known around the world for caring for children with cancer — and Youth Town of Tennessee, a center here in West Tennessee that helps troubled youth.

“According to official court documents, John Stevens lied to nurses in a Jackson hospital to gain access to the dying woman’s bedside to tear up her will.

“Her name was Ruth Karas.

“Mrs. Karas was in a coma. John Stevens had already drawn up other papers putting other people in control of the woman’s estate.

“Mrs. Karas died a day after John Stevens tore up her will.

That is just a snippet so go and read the whole thing. And also take note of the very last graph.

I just don’t understand people. I really just don’t.
