Mr. Caswell is now 72 years old; he must have had a birthday last week. His 122 acres has a value of $225,000, which looks like it was on the market for $250K but didn't sell. Some people believe that he needed the meat to eat. I do not know him personally, but others may. My question involved the right of the state to arrest him for his crime. If he is indeed in need of help, then there are programs to help. However, he may be a proud soul and is used to fending for himself. I don't think he should be deified, nor crucified. People obviously have different opinions on this.
