"Of course, Terri did not even receive the benefit of a trial much less the benefit of the doubt."

Well, your beginning of this sentence with "of course" does not make it true. There was a trial.

There was a trial. There were subsequent evidentiary hearings. There were appeals upon appeals, including one where the appellate court did a de novo review it did not have to do.

No guardianship case has ever received the degree of due process and attention from the courts that this one received. To say there was no trial is, simply stated, a falsehood.

I'm still having a problem with the answer to my post #4426. This worries me more than any of the other statements.
