The letters assert that the facts of the case clearly establish probable cause to initiate a formal criminal investigation, yada yada yada...

An absolutely ridiculous assertion. The whole process has been under the scrutiny of multple courts. Negligence, cruelty, etc.... has already been dismissed as being present in Terri's care by the courts allowing the existing level of care to proceed.

Then you haven't been following this case. The husband has a credibility problem. Doctors said there was evidence she may have been abused. It's on the original reports. This woman is brain disabled, not brain dead.

I have had doctors tell me my father was basically brain dead, when he was still talking to the family.

I have seen brain dead with my mother. I didn't need to have the doctors tell me my mother was no longer there. I could see her glazed over eyes. You don't forget something like that.

Terri's eyes are clear. She doesn't drool. She responds to commands. She smiles. You want me to believe the courts. I would rather believe my own eyes.

Her family loves her. They do not want her to suffer. They are more than willing to take care of her, but her husband wants her dead.

You are wrong. It has not been under the scrutiny of the courts. Only one, Judge Greer and he refused to look at evidence.

The other courts it was sent up to for appeal denied to even hear it. The appellate court for the 6th Circuit, the Florida Supreme Court refused to hear the appeals. It's not like they heard them and ruled against the family. IF they did, it would have gone to the U.S. Supreme Court. I don't know if it got to the U.S. Supreme Court. The lower court has to make a ruling, for it to get to the U.S. Supreme Court. By the time this happens the poor woman will be gone.
