Y&R--A Question For Early Years Watchers

[OldSchoolSoapFan]

Does anybody know if an actual trial arose with the Snapper/Liz/Bill plug-pulling hospital incident? I was looking again at the Jon-Michael Reed weekly synopses of Y&R from 1977 over at another board and Reed's details weren't much in-depth. If anyone has a good memory of that, it would be greatly appreciated.

From Sony's Official Y&R website (previously SoapCity) for 1976:

Bill and Liz Foster remarried. But Bill's cancer progressed quickly. The doctors doubted that he would live out the year. Bill was eventually hospitalized and kept alive by machines. He pleaded with Liz to pull the plug. Not wanting to see her husband suffer, Liz agreed to his wishes, but she was so traumatized by the incident that she suffered a stroke and forgot her actions. Meanwhile, Snapper was accused of killing his father. With Greg's help, Snapper was cleared of murder charges. Soon after, Jill fell for David Mallory, a young man who had been blind until a cornea transplant restored his vision. The eyes he received were from the deceased Bill Foster.
