Judge George W. Greer’s déjà vu

When it comes to the protection of physically endangered women, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George W. Greer rates a zero.

Long before finding himself at the epicenter of the Terri Schiavo tempest, Greer was on the wrong kind of the headlines.

In 1998, Greer denied an injunction for a wife seeking protection from her husband.

In the paperwork presented, the august Greer noted that the woman had not listed any acts of violence by the man. The injunction was denied. Within days, the husband stabbed the woman to death.

The members of any women’s’ shelter would attest that sometimes desperation, sheer fear, haste and even ignorance of dealing with the system, keeps women from committing the salient facts to paper.

Greer said he followed the law. The woman’s co-workers protested outside the courthouse.

A fat lot of good a judge following the law did for the stabbed-to-death victim of domestic violence.

"As a judge, there’s always the fear that you’re going to miss something and somebody is going to get hurt," Greer said. "When you make those kind of decisions, there’s very little you can do to be 100 percent certain because you never have 100 percent of the facts." (St. Petersburg Times).

Even striving for 10 percent of the facts is a worthwhile endeavour if it means saving a life.

It was Greer who ignited controversy when he decided that Terri Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state and that her feeding tube should be removed. . . . .

He is a monster.

A curse on Greer and his kin.

Does anyone know...

I believe this is an elected judge, but I'm not sure.

I would just bet that he will have a very hard time running as a Republican for a judgeship again, and getting elected.

that's just my guess...

Shame on this disgusting POS.

In the paperwork presented, the august Greer noted that the woman had not listed any acts of violence by the man.

Okay... so judges are supposed to grant injunctions, without any factual basis provided to them? Just ask for one, and blam... granted?

[LizardQueen]

This judge is completely incompetent.

Gee, do you think M. Schiavo and his attorney shopped their case before filing with Greer? If this were a movie, central casting could not have come up with as slimy a group of villians as Michael Schiavo, his attorney, and Greer.

[Victoria Delsoul]

He's the ideal judge for all wife beaters and potential murderers.

The Grim Reaper

the august Greer

August my Azzzz! He's just another pompous lawyer who got himself a robe.

[SweetPilotofCanuckistan]

POS Judge

[mewzilla]

So much the St. Petersberg Times's Quiet Judge Persists...

[sinanju]

Ah yes, that worshipful St. Petersburg Times article quoted again. I sincerely hope Judge Greer suffers some personal heat over this one. Judges need to be named as often as possible. The godlike mantle of omniscience that has fallen about them over the past forty years need to be stripped away.

[StonyBurk]

May all the curses written in the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter 28 be visited upon this godless,and unjust Judge.
IF I recall Scripture correctly Lucifer was kicked out of
Heaven because he wanted to be God.Judge Greer ought Be Impeached and committed for his delusions of grandeur.

[Joe 6-pack]

While I'm not prone to wild conspiracies or baseless speculation, I can not help but think that he is really an escaped mental patient who found a black robe in a dumpster....

[hispanarepublicana]

He was Jim Morrison's college housemate.

[Red Badger]

Misogynist Judge.......

[Red Badger]

I think he's on the take.........
