You mean they cannot go back in time to pass a law soon enough to save Terri, I guess.
That's true.
Too bad Michael arranged to have her tube removed before any new laws went into effect.
I wonder if Mike was in a hurry to get this deed done so that she would be dead long before the laws could be changed. My guess is that any new laws and subsequent rulings about them could have saved her.
Supreme Court Overturns Most Death Penalty Laws
In the 1972 case of Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 153 (1972), the Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision effectively striking down most federal and state death penalty laws finding them "arbitrary and capricious." The court held that the death penalty laws, as written, violated the "cruel and unusual punishment" provision of the Eighth Amendment and the due process guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment.As a result of Furman v. Georgia, more than 600 prisoners who had been sentenced to death between 1967 and 1972 had their death sentences lifted.
