  • anonymous, Terri herself could walk into the courtroom and tell them she can talk. Greer looked at the evidence in court and decided that she should be killed, and judges are NEVER wrong. Get all that other stuff out of your silly head.

    Unless I'm very mistaken about the appeals process, neither party is allowed to raise any different arguments or present any different evidence than they did at the lower court. But I agree with you that Gibbs should have brought affidavits from all the other people in the room (or just outside) to support his claim.

  • What makes me the maddest, is Greer taking 24 hours to come up with a ruling that he knew the outcome of before he heard the arguments.I think he was hoping Terri would just die,and he would be rid of her. I read that Schiavo intends to cremate her as soon as possible and bury her in Pennsylvania in his family plot. This man is a monster.

  • My head is hurting from reading all the ignorant rants on this page. Anyone who actually took the time to look over any of the original court documents (they're the most informative because they're hype-free -- and they're available on the internet) that lay out the history of this situation would know that numerous caring, concerned professionals--from doctors to judges-- have been involved and have taken their responsibilities very, very seriously. The law gives Michael Schiavo the right to look after the interests of his wife, and court ruling after court ruling have supported this right. Now, one could surmise from the coverage and the chatter about this situation that there are a lot of complexities that surround this case (like, what is pvs, and what is the likelihood of a misdiagnosis, or what does a brain scan that shows very little actual brain left mean, or what are the differences between high brain function and low brain function, and on and on) and say, "A lot of facts have accumulated over 15 years, so I'm obviously not anywhere near as well-informed as the participants, but there must be something to the fact that several judges--conservative ones even-- have affirmed his legal right to do what he is doing." and let it go. Or, you could say "judges like-yes, actively seek-- to kill people, and the hospice is seeking to kill her and Mr. Schiavo is seeking to kill her and they're all evil and there must be a plot and I don't care what her doctors say and I'd rather listen to the opinion of people who don't know the facts of the case or misrepresent the facts of the case but who agree with me and I don't care that feeding tubes are pulled every day--just this one time because only this one is evil and the other ones aren't showing up on Fox anyway, and half the country hates america and I'm RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT!!!" Yeah, I could see how one could go either way.

  • oh yes.

    the "the courts say it is legal" argument.

    love that one. The outrage, for me anyway, is that it IS LEGAL! I don't EVER want this kind of treatment to ANYONE- let alone a handicapped woman to be treated in such a way. The system may have "worked," but it failed. It failed Terri.

    It boils down to Felos being a great attorney, the Schindlers not having any idea in the begining what Michael was capable which lead to poor councel for them, and Greer is as biased and at a very high level of conflict of interest. This system failed Terri in many ways. Many unfair things happened to her. There is not any one place to put blame, if any of several circumstances had been played or handled differently, this would not be happening. We ALL have failed Terri.

    note to self:

    always be armed with a better attorney than the other guy, and have each judge checked out thoroughly!
