Doesn't matter...

"aaaaahhh donn't wannnnt yooouu tooo live"

That's the bottom line..

[Serenissima Venezia]

heartbreaking...

[tomahawk]

Hearbreaking that the monster Judge Greer wants her dead and doesn't care what the evidence is, or her mental state.

He is a butcher.

[TAdams8591]

Agreed. How utterly tragic.

Open letter to "We the people of the United States"
By John J McDougall
Retired Florida Sheriff of Lee County Florida

"Imagine for a moment that you are a Circuit Court Judge. A terrified woman comes before your Court pleading for her life. She testifies, under oath, that her violent and demented husband raped her, set her clothes on fire and threatens to kill her. She needs your help and petitions your court for an Injunction for Protection.

What would you do? Well, this is what a real Circuit Court Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida; by the name of Judge George W. Greer decided.

He actually had this exact case come before his bench seven years ago, when Helene Ball McGee, from Dunedin Florida pleaded with him to grant her an Injunction for Protection. Helene was in absolute fear for her life.

Judge George W. Greer, however, refused to help her, because (according to him) she had not shown him enough proof that her husband was physically violent yet.

Two weeks later her deranged husband, Bobby Lane McGee, stabbed her to death...."

God help us all. Terri is being held captive - helpless; while we are all captives of the bench and helpless.

I feel like I am in some other country. She would have a better chance in Iraq. Our boys would just go in and rescue her.

If by some miracle Terri Schiavo got up and spoke clearly in no uncertain terms "I want to live" with 100 witnesses, blind Judge Greer would still have her murdered.

[Conservative Goddess]

God Bless this attorney. She has more spine than anyone in this case. And Judge Greer will be loathe to ignore the sworn testimony of an officer of the court. Please Dear God, let this woman be Terri's guardian angel.

[Libertina]

May God forgive our impotence.

I thought an officer of the court was not required to swear to the truthfulness of any statement made to the court. I thought as an officer of the court, all statements made to the court are expected and accepted to be true.

Since Terri understands what is being said and has all along, I often wondered why didn't have her parents attorney w/two witness (video, if possible) ask Terri would she want to divorce MS.

All it needs is a "Yes" from Terri to file for a divorce. Then, hopefully, she could have signed the papers. Her signature could just be an "X". Since she has been estranged from MS for 15 years, the divorce could be automatic.

"I feel like I am in some other country."

You are. But you weren't the one that moved. The country did. And as far as I am concerned, this country has not only failed an innocent person, but has failed everyone.

I motion that we scrap everything and start again from the ground up.

[Awestruck]

Apparently in the wonderland crazyworld that is Judge Greer's world.. things are different.. for instance, a judge cannot legally direct the Governor of the state NOT to enforce a state statute.. just one of many illegal things this "judge" has done.

Didn't proof read. Hopefully, my message is understandable. I'll call it a day now.

Greer is the ONLY judge that has established a finding of facts, flawed, biased, hearsay facts. Every judicial review beyond Greer's court has placed a judicial oligarchy's rubber stamp upon his findings. There is far too much now known of Michael Schiavo and his euthanasia crusader attorney and the obstinate refusal by Greer for any new facts to be entered. Terri Schaivo cannot die soon enough to suit the crooked judicial system in Florida. If she lives and happens to improve through rehaibilitation therapy similar to that she recieved in the first three years after her collapse (and she showed significant improvements through theraoy), the embarrassment to the democrats and their agenda to feed death and degeneracy to their yammering constituencies would be huge and set the leftist societal engineers back decades. NOW Terri must be put down for expediency sake, regardless of her level of cognition. [Has it occurred to fellow Freepers yet how many newbies have come out of the woodwork to niggle and chide, lie and dissemble, seeking to create diversion and argument? Surely there are not this many Freepers who actually cheer for Terri to die.]

I second it. spring cleaning.

"I thought an officer of the court was not required to swear to the truthfulness of any statement made to the court. I thought as an officer of the court, all statements made to the court are expected and accepted to be true."

I dunno. I suspect she filed an affadavit because it would very likely be published. She got her testimony on the internet immediately (last Friday if I remember correctly), but it may get more attention now that it is in affadavit form.

When a lawyer is a witness he/she has to be sworn just like everyone else.

When acting as a lawyer rather than a witness then the lawyers's statements to the court (which are not evidence) are presumed to be true but if found to be false the lawyer is subject to discipline.

I read an article by Barbara Weller early this week in a newspaper saying basicially the same thing, only I think she said Terry responded by saying "ahhh" and "waa" and not "I wan", so this is different then the article Weller wrote for the newspapers. I am not certain, but I think it was the Tampa Trib.

In any case, whichever words (or parts of words) were used, what I want to know is why in the world wasn't this information included in either of the complaints to the federal courts together with a claim that there was newly discovered evidence that warranted a hearing to determine if these claims were accurate, including perhaps medical testing to see if there is the ability to voice, no matter how rudimentary, some expressions?
