Felos gave him large contributions.

Greer is hell-bent on killing Terri and smashing the guts of Terri's family members. Plus he likes the heck out of MIchael Schiavo and George Felos. It's a game, you see.

What's wrong with you? Don't you believ in the rule of lawyers?

This is why:

Judge Greer and scientology connection:

It is a conspiracy. You see Greer and Felos have a stake in the hospice so they want to kill off their paying patients.

No that doesn't make sense.

They like to have people killed.

Sure. It's called 'marriage' - something a lot of us have been trying really hard to defend. He is her husband; the presumption is that he knows her wishes. Anything to the contrary has to be virtually a written notice by Terri herself.

This case was lost in the first days after Terri lost consciousness; no probative investigation that turned up prosecutable evidence, no challenge to the husband's words.

In my view, a great concern for the future is baring courts from making any judgment in these types of cases. Fights over who has the say in medical care; sure. Fights over how medical care is administered or withheld? No way!

I never got to wondering about that because I still can't fathom why an issue like this was before a probate court.

Unless the probate courts in Florida are different than the probate courts I'm familiar with, Greer - and none of his peers in probate - are competent to make life-or-death decisions.

Probate courts divvy up money.  Hearing the Schiavo case in probate court strikes me as being akin to trying a capital murder case before a bankruptcy judge.

The county juuuuuuuuuuuuudge, who held a gruuuuuuuuuuuuuudge

Look up everything you can on Pinellas County. When something doesn't fit, toss it out. Only, it all fits.

It gets a little dark here after midnight, doesn't it?

In one case he claims to have made a mistake about the timing of the Karen Ann Quinlin case where Terri Schindler had told her friend she was against her being pulled off life support.

Greer felt the conversation couldn;t have had happened because Quinlin had alread died. But he admitted recently he was wrong about the date of her death and the conversation would have been time appropriate.

The whole thing stinks going back to the first hearing. Petty corruption and conflict of interest have been alledged. Also, pure incompetence is probably at play.

No doubt Greer will pen a book--perhaps he will have the preface done by MS.

He, like Shiavo, will use many words to say precisely nothing---and he'll make a mint in the doing.

Sad.

[faithincowboys]

Because he was born and Brooklyn and has likely been a stealth commie for a long, long time.

[Saundra Duffy]

I am looking for a source that explains why Judge Greer disallowed all of the evidence presented to contradict Micheal Schivo's claim about "Terri's wish".

Because he could. Duh.
