FILE - In this Jan. 15, 1993 file photo, Robert J. Kosilek, now known as Michelle Kosilek, sits in Bristol County Superior Court in New Bedford, Mass., where Kosilek was on trial for the May 1990 murder of his wife. Kosilek was convicted and lives as a woman in a Massachusetts prison serving a life sentence for murder. State prison officials will argue before a federal appeals court Thursday, May 8, 2014 in Boston, that the state should not have to pay for sex change surgery for Kosilek. A federal judge ruled in 2012 the state Department of Correction must provide surgery to treat Kosilek's gender-identity disorder. (AP Photo/Lisa Bul, file)
