Nice that a judge believes a rule of law about time constraint is so much more important that actual JUSTICE, especially when a living breathing person is being killed at the same time.. Terri had to be treated like a death row inmate....but needed MORE than a govenors reprieve....she had to have a full legislature vote...that is called changing thelaw...just what judges tell people to do EVERYDAY in their courtrooms if that person doesn't like what is going down!

On May 8, attorneys on both sides questioned the girlfriend, Cyndi Brashers Shook, according to the Times. In addition to Shook's new testimony, a nurse who cared for Schindler-Schiavo filed an affidavit with the court May 11, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

Doreen Mello testified that when she visited Schindler-Schiavo and spoke to her, she seemed to be aware of her environment.

"The odd thing is that I knew she heard me, and felt she wanted to respond," Mello said in the affidavit, according to the AP. "There is no doubt in my mind that she is not in a vegetative state."

Complicating the case further is a million-dollar lawsuit settlement that was awarded to Schindler-Schiavo in 1993. The settlement came from a malpractice suit filed by Michael Schiavo against Terri's doctors, who failed to detect the low potassium levels that caused her heart attack. Only $350,000 of the settlement is left, however, according to the Times.

Previously thought to be used only to pay Schindler-Schiavo's medical costs, the Times reported that court records show it has also been used by Michael Schiavo to pay for lawyers seeking to remove her feeding tube.

"This is outrageous. It's offensive," Schindler attorney Anderson told the Times. "It's not being used for the purpose for which it was given."

Time constraints? Judge Greer filed to run for Judge in 1998 but he failed to file within the 5 day statutory period. Secondly, Judge Greer's Oath to Uphold the U.S. Constitution and to Obey the Laws of the State of Florida is non-existent.

Judge Greer shouldn't even be a Judge right now. The above has been fact checked. Judge Greer needs to be the defendant in a criminal trial right now imo. We're waiting..... Still waiting.....
