Snapper is the only one who knew that Liz had given in to Bill's demands and turned off his life support to avoid him suffering; and he is also the only one who knew that this could lead his mother to serious problems with Justice. But now that Liz seemed to have removed all memory of Bill's death, Snapper hopes to put this matter behind him. However, these hopes remain in vain, as the hospital in Genoa City immediately begins an investigation to determine what caused Bill's death. Soon, Liz's position begins to become unclear as the hospital's director initiates legal proceedings to shed light on the case and contacts both prosecutors and the judiciary. Snapper, cornered and determined not to see his mother suffer again because of this painful situation, accuses himself of voluntarily turning off his father's machines before Liz can even be charged. On hearing the news, Greg and Jill are shocked, and Liz herself, who remembers nothing of what happened, lashes out at her son wondering how he could have done such a thing. Jill is the first to realize that Snapper is hiding the responsibility of their mother, and when he confirms it, Greg immediately takes action to try to exonerate his brother. So it's Greg himself, recently certified as a lawyer, who rushes to Snapper's defense. Brock tries to convince the judges of how hypocritical it is to consider it murder to have only obeyed his father's orders, but in the end, exonerating Snapper is a simple bureaucratic technical quibble regarding the functionality of the machine that kept Bill alive; and since the court refuses to go ahead with the costs of the trial, the charge is dropped. Initially, the hospital refuses to accept the Court's verdict and suspends Snapper from his duties as a doctor, determined to permanently relieve the doctor from his job. However, when the hospital also decides to dismiss the case and rehabilitate Snapper, he has long since left the public facility to open a free clinic for the poor and needy.
