Hi Yoni. Learn all about it on terrisfight.org.

We don't get it either. Judge Greer, who has presided over most proceedings in this case, is a real piece of work. He has allowed her settlement money (intended to be used for treatment) to be spent on her husband's legal fees as he attempts to get legal permission to kill her, he has consistently and inexplicably sided with the husband, defying all logic in many cases, has dismissed out of hand any testimony or affidavit that sides with her parents, he has refused to view most video of Terri and has never once gone to see her in all the years he has ruled on her case.

All this, and Michael Schiavo has hardly been the dutiful husband to Terri. A couple years after her accident, he testified in malpractice proceedings that he loved his wife very much and just wanted to take care of her for the rest of her life, but lacked the means. He was awarded 1-2 million dollars as a result of that testimony. Shortly after the money was in his hands, he suddenly remembered that Terri wouldn't want to live that way and has been trying to kill her ever since by denying treatment, anywhere from treating potentially fatal infections to not allowing her teeth to be brushed. He has often denied her family access to her and sometimes they have had no idea of her whereabouts or condition. He has refused to allow her priest to visit as well.

Meanwhile, he is cohabitating with his fiance and mother of his child, a second child is on the way and he vows to marry her when Terri is dead.

He refuses to relinquish gardianship to Terri's parents and vows to have her cremated as soon as she is dead.

The Governor is apparently quite dismayed but feels his hands are tied.

I'd be happy to answer any other questions you might have about the case.
