He had the authority to reject an "experimental therapeutic procedure", which is how the oral hydration and nutrition motion read.
Oh, you weren't aware of that? You didn't know about that motion? You haven't seen those documents? You were unaware of the controversy?
Of course you knew. But that doesn't stop you from acting ignorant and posting that "Judge Greer had no authority and should be prosecuted", does it?
Do you see what I mean about the lies and distortions by your side?
We have discussed the motion in question. http://abstractappeal.com/schiavo/trialctorder030805.pdf

""The Order says explicitly that the hearing on March 7th concerned an "Emergency Expedited Motion for Permission to Provide Theresa Schiavo with Food and Water by Natural Means after the assisted nutrition and hydration are discontinued..." ""
In fact, I have read the Petition:
http://www.terrisfight.org/documents/022805EmMotionNaturalFeeding.pdf
And it notes that Terri swallowed water when her teeth were brushed.
Greer stated that "it has become clear.." He did not state that the petition was for an experiment, but rather that the arguments were "part and parcel," and that it "appears" that they are the same.
He forbade natural means of oral hydration and nutrition after the assisted methods were discontinued, ignoring that the circumstances had changed and that the March 2005 petition was not asking for swallowing tests. I sincerely hope that there is an enterprising and just DA or Attorney General who will allow a jury to decide whether or not Greer broke the law of Florida.
