Funny how you rely on one court's decision that Mumia was a cop killer, but refuse to abide by another's that Terri is a vegetable.

Mumia's decision has been appealed to the nth degree and then some, as all capital convictions are.

As far as I can tell, no judge is willing to even review Greer's finding that Michael is an acceptable guardian in light of the overwhelming conflicts of interest he has.

Your characterization of Terri as a vegetable is stunning but not surprising. This puts you in the crowd that says all of her reactions are reflexive and not actually in response to the stimuli around her. Perhaps you're right, but we'll never know until there is a meaningful and sustained attempt to treat her. You apparently don't know (or don't care) that she made some progress in the couple of years Mikey was litigating, but regressed after Mikey got his money, cut off all therapy, and began engaging in systematic neglect.

If you really feel that she's a vegetable after seeing the videos, heaven help any of your loved ones who become seriously disabled or brain-damaged if you have any input into their care.

And even if I agreed that she is PVS beyond repair (which I don't), based on the previous paragraph, MIKEY INTENTIONALLLY MADE HER THAT WAY. So does he get rewarded by getting free rein to kill her? I don't think so. Does the state prosecute him for the neglect he has perpetrated, keeping her around as Exhibit A? Not a bad idea. How about a compromise? He turns Terri over to her family to care or her. As much as I'd like to nail him, I'd let him walk if he'd just turn her loose. I'd even forgive him and not prosecute him for the myriad of crimes he has definitely and/or likely committed over the past 13 years.

And if the above is the best response you can come up with to my post, your position is weak indeed. Funny-ha ha ha.

Funny how you take the word of an adulterer, the word of a judge with monetary ties to the hospice, and a lawyer that professes to encourage terminating the life of those he finds wasting money he could use himself, over the words of her parents.

My, my, my, one wonders what life you must have led.

Just remember, if the group the judge, the lawyer, and the hospice board of directors is involved in establish legal precedents, don't break your leg.
