How does the fact that George Greer was elected by an overwhelming majority fit into your analysis? Or do you just like that little "unelected attorney" rhetoric because you think it sounds good?
Perhaps he was.
So was Bill Clinton. So what?
The fact that he was re-elected by so large a majority may also have something to do with the WAY judges run for office. Very often these slimy slick attorneys get nominated by BOTH parties. I don't know if that was the case with Greer, but its common practise where judges are elected. It certainly happens in Pennsylvania and New York. Check it out.
At any rate, the fact that he was elected by a "large majority" has nothing to do with the way he conducted this case. He failed to review all the available evidence, never even visited the patient himself. He was a good buddy of Sheriff Rice who contributed towards his capmpaign. Rice was on the Board of Directors of the murdered woman's hospice, along with Felos, Mikey Schiavo's Attorney. Since Rice also HIRED Mikey Schiavo before he left office creates enough of a slimy trail of potential conflict of interest here for Greer to have recused himself from the case.
But he didn't. Mike wanted his wife dead and Greer ordered the judicial execution of a mentally disabled woman so Mike would be free to marry his live-in roomie, who was also the daughter of a woman who worked for Rice for twenty years.
There was also the totally unaddressed issue of why she wound up in that condition in the first place. Why wasn't Mikey investigated? What about the x-rays showing extensive fractures, the mysterious "private" visits by Mikey to Terri at the hospice, the testimony from individuals about possible abuse and an unhappy marriage collapsing in divorce?????
Meanwhile, the Federal Courts deliberately ignored a Law specifically directing them to conduct a de novo investigation of this case.
Does this sound O.K. to you? I guess if someone's idea of "justice" is what went on NAZI Germany, or in some bananna republic today, it probably does.
