Brain-disabled woman's feeding tube restored after Florida governor intervenes

Speculation ain't worth squat.

That hasn't stopped people from claiming that Michael strangled Terri, or that Judge Greer is taking bribes.

"That hasn't stopped people from claiming that Michael strangled Terri, or that Judge Greer is taking bribes."

You asked them for proof. Then you prove post #17.

Speculation ain't worth squat.

It ain't speculation - its fact. Besides, tell that to Jeb and the Florida GOP - who pretended to be an appellate court, all done without reviewing the evidence that the trial courts heard while reaching a decision under an unambiguous law. Their pandering reliance on the speculation of "internet activists" - none of whom had sat through the hundreds of hours of testimony - was an embarrassment to the GOP. There are no standards anymore - it is simply mob rule based on who gets the quickest and loudest press. Hell, Princess Diana's vapid land mine treaty crusade has legs under these standards - forget evidence and rational consideration, lets just make public policy on a knee jerk reaction to something that looks awful if presented the right way. Don't bother looking at the entirety of the evidence considered by the courts - lets only consider the spun version as presented by one side.

Y'know why people want their own witnesses to testify live at trials? So that the factfinder can see facial expression, eye movements and body language all while hearing the tone of the voice, etc.

You saw a couple of very short video clips of this girl and made a decision, meanwhile, the judges have seen the clips, heard the witnesses, read the entirety of the transcripts, and decided which witnesses were more credible than others based on hose factors.

You think that you're in a better position to judge this, having paid attention to a fraction of a fraction of a percent of what Greer and the others went through on this case? The real irony is your fraction of a fraction of attention to the evidence is much more than what the Florida Legislature looked at before making its decision.

The law is the law - no proving anything on that one.

"You saw a couple of very short video clips of this girl and made a decision"

I haven't watched the video clips and #17 is an assumption based on the law. I hope you know what assume means.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

ROFLMAO - the "assumption" is correct.

[mtbrandon49]

In ones own mind.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

OK, sport. Pony up. Show me your experience at family law, and identify the statutes and equity principles that let him walk away free and clear.

Feel free to take your time - a lot of it.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

And BTW - you've managed to come up with an opinion based on even less evidence than these other folks, if you haven't watched the clips.

What assumptions have you made regarding Terri Schiavo? What evidence that the judge heard did you review?

Feel better now?

Pamela Hennessy released this news this evening:

After 24 hours of not being allowed to see their daughter in Morton Plant Hospital, Clearwater, Florida, the parents and siblings of Terri Schiavo have just learned that Terri is being moved from Morton Plant to an, as yet, undisclosed location. This is on the order of Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo. The family has not yet been permitted to see their daughter/sister, nor have they had any information disclosed to them that would assure them that Terri is healthy enough to be taken from a hospital to another location. This is developing.

Ok. Well, I just heard that Michael Schiavo is having Terri moved back to the hospice, and that once she gets there, her family will be able to see her again. It's funny how the different news stations report different things. I also heard from World Net News that Terri's family are desperately waiting for Judge David Demers to appoint a guardian for her - ad litem, I think they called it. Anyway, I hope that happens a.s.a.p. as Michael is definitely a strange one. When I heard that he wouldn't let her family see Terri today, I thought, this guy is really showing his true colors in public now. If I was a Judge or anybody in law or the government watching those type of developments, I would know how desperately this guy wants Terri dead. Claus Von Bulow had to give up custody of his wife, Sunny eventually, and she remains in a serious coma ( I mean, we're talking serious - nothing like how Terri is being portrayed in the media by Michael's side ). I think it's been like 20 years that Sunny has been in a private New York hospital. It'll be interesting to see what happens next, but I hope that Terri's ties to Michael will be permanently severed soon.

That Michael is so strange that it's getting scary. I cannot even imagine what he has put Terri's family through with his antics. He's lucky that he isn't dealing with me because God help him if he was doing this kind of stuff to one of my children. He'd turn me into a vigilante I'm afraid.

I have read the same evidence everybody else has and have my opinion just as you do. You have been on all these threads pushing your opinion and not basing it on fact. I just called you on it with your post at #17 and evidently made a valid point for you to reply.

The way you are talking it sounds like you wish we lived in a oligarchy instead of a republic. The system we live under is based on checks and balances and Jeb checked the courts, for a change. (Don't flatter yourself with your other post I've been out.)

Well, now I'm convinced that Terri should have rehabilitation. We have a carrot brain posting on a computer, spitting out insults about her. She can't miss at rehab, obviously. "All vegetables are equal, but carrots are more equal", right LetsRok?

[ninenot]

...and the divorce would be UNCONTESTED!

But I think there's some big money at stake--SHE is the winner of the malpractice award, not HE. If he dumps her, he's out of the money.

If she's dead, she can't talk about how she acquired her condition--and she can't spend the settlement, either.
