My guess is that the writ case would've been transferred to Judge Greer. In our county, all cases that relate to the original case go back to the same judge; criminal cases involving the same defendant also go back to the original judge. I would assume Florida courts have the same or similar rules.

Because the writ itself wasn't heard, I expect a dismissal from the Florida Supremes. I understand why they'd think they could file it in Tallahassee--it's the state capitol & Jeb's the gov--but because this case involves Terri, the proper jurisdiction is Pinellas (that's where Terri is), so it wasn't surprising the case was dismissed at the circuit court level. They tried to do an end-around Judge Greer by filing in a different county and it didn't work. <p?I'd be curious to see if their pleadings in the writ address why this writ should be heard in Tallahasse rather than Pinellas. If it didn't, they were too cute by half and they're lucky the circuit court judge in Tallahassee didn't tear their heads off.

Seems to me those rules are a bit of a problem. Too bad Terri's lawyers couldn't have focused earlier on somehow forcing the case to get routed to someone other than Judge Greer. Seems to me that the system as it exists is ripe for corruption.
