It's a good question: How does one deal with corrupt judges?

There will be a wrongful death lawsuit filed...it will be the next "scott/laci" court-tv drama played out in real life. And it will be very ugly - and get into everything you say won't be looked at, and more...

Also, quite frankly, I think Terri's folks need a new team of lawyers.

This must go through, otherwise Terri will have died in vain and injustice will have rewarded. This case will essentially be the US judicial system on trial.

Judges can only act like dictators if elected officials refuse to stand up to them. Jeb has refused to stand up to Greer.

Let's be fair. He's not saying that.

As with all cases of tyranny, there is some solace in the fact that:

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord.

And you have to believe that a premeditated starvation murder of an innocent disabled woman is a crime that screams to heaven for vengeance....

Sorry. I guess he is saying it's Bush's fault.

No, probably not. Generally, only the decedent's heirs or next-of-kin have standing to sue for wrongful death. Terri Schiavo's next-of-kin is her husband, and who's he going to sue?

it sounded good. :D It's Bush's fault seems to work everywhere. Lately unfortunately, fellow freepers have been on the receiving end. Hope they haven't forgotten what side their are on.

"Also, quite frankly, I think Terri's folks need a new team of lawyers."

Based on the courtroom soundbite I heard on the radio today, I have to agree with you.

When the Schindler lawyer presented the latest about Terri trying to say she wants to live (which she said LAST Friday - a whole week ago!), Greer (or was it Whittemore?) asks why wasn't it presented before now. The Schindler lawyer's response was that they were too busy! Felos then jumped right in and said he wanted this dismissed.

No there won't. Greer will preemptively prohibit it, and the ruling will be upheld by every court in the state. Just like every other ruling made in this case.

Didn't Nichol Simson's and the other victims parents sue OJ?

Always on the side of defending the innocent sounds mighty good to me.

I judge a man on how he treats the least of these.

Call me prejudice.
