I fully agree that Felos is a "whak job lawyer." And, yes, Michael wants sympathy. But some of the things he said tonight can be checked, & he knows "right wingers" are on him. So, if he lied in citing "facts," he'll need all the help he can get.

Let me get this straight right now, in case somebody decides to accuse me (again) of wanting Terri dead, I do not agree with euthanasia, though I can understand why some people may take that route.

A court taking hearsay as evidence to permit this kind of death is, to me, unconscionable.

Yeah... it can't be said too often... it took more than that to send Gacy to the chair, and he got the benefit of being flash fried, not slow dried.

Particularly hearsay of a conflicted witness which, even if it is to be 100% believed, would not prove that Terri made any statement with the intention that it be used to justify dehydrating her.

My own personal opinion is that if it wasn't written down it did NOT happen. Now, in the business world... if you did not notate it and send me a copy, I never heard of it!

That being said, I can tell you that even if I was not informed of anything except the fact that, Terri never wrote a will or left WRITTEN instructions for her care in such a circumstance, I would never agree with some guys who stand financially from her death.

Even if the "memories" came from her Mama, her Papa, her Priest, her hubby, her best friend or her brother-in-law.

IF IT IS NOT WRITTEN DOWN, IT DID NOT HAPPEN.

Memories can be MADE UP at the drop of a hat and tailored to match somebody's conscience and sub-conscience designs.

Money can sure make some people REMEMBER lots of stuff you supposedly said, IF it will help them to pry your money loose and into their pockets.
