“Terri also has a right to life...for medical treatment that she has been denied!…”etc.
Terri also had a right to the protection of a jury trial in a case in which she was the most interested party, a case to determine her wishes, [see Schiavo's wishes recalled in records] and whose right to life and liberty was at stake. And, who has waived her right to the protection of a jury, and has done so without her knowing and willing consent [making it illegal]? Her alleged loving husband who has been out and about thinking with his little head, engaging in extramarital affairs! But not to fret as the Court had the audacity to permit this active adulterous spouse to continue as Terri’s guardian! For some reason I just get the feeling that Judge Greer, Judge Baird, and the infamous George J. Felos have something else in their minds other than Terri’s best interests. But who knows? Maybe they are just good friends….very, very good friends.
In re GUARDIANSHIP OF Estelle M. BROWNING: and I suggest you read the entire case, a case which I’m sure the infamous George J. Felos is familiar with, [it has been pointed out elsewhere this is the case which inspired him to hear voices,] the following quotes taken from the case are most interesting:
1. “The Ethics and Advocacy Task Force, as amicus curiae, raises a very legitimate concern that the "right to die" could become a license to kill. There are times when some people believe that another would be "better off dead" even though the other person is still fighting vigorously to live. Euthanasia is a crime in this state. 782.08, Fla.Stat. (1987). See 765.11(1), Fla.Stat. (1987).”
2. “We emphasize and caution that when the patient has left instructions regarding life- sustaining treatment, the surrogate must make the medical choice that the patient, if competent, would have made, and not one that the surrogate might make for himself or herself, or that the surrogate might think is in the patient's best interests.”
The bottom line is, our system of justice guarantees Terri a right to the protection of a jury in determining the facts in her case in which her life may be ended by the authority of the State. Until this protection and due process is afforded to Terri, which may not be perfect but is guaranteed by our system of justice, Terri’s case will not be concluded within the four corners of our Constitution, and those who move forward without providing this protection, will be doing so in violation of their oath of office and be willingly participants in the subjugation of our constitutional system.

Sec. 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law
Civil Action For Deprivation of Rights (see 42 U.S.C. § 1983 )
Conspiracies to Interfere With Civil Rights (see42 U.S.C. § 1985 )
In Sparf v. United States, 156 U.S. 51, 106, (1895)Justice Harland wrote:
“The trial was thus conducted upon the theory that it was the duty of the court to expound the law, and that of the jury to apply the law as thus declared to the facts as ascertained by them. In this separation of the functions of court and jury is found the chief value, as well as safety, of the jury system. Those functions cannot be confounded or disregarded without endangering the stability of public justice, as well as the security of private and personal rights.”
And, Justice Byron White, in Taylor v. Louisiana, 419 US 522 , 530 (1975)emphatically stated:
"The purpose of a jury is to guard against the exercise of arbitrary power -- to make available the commonsense judgment of the community as a hedge against the over-zealous or mistaken prosecutor and in preference to the professional or perhaps overconditioned or biased response of a judge." --

Michael Schiavo Is Being Charged With Perjured Testimony and Fraud On the Court
Does anyone know the status of these cases?
Civil Lawsuit:If these cases were still active all this time, Why were these given such a SLOW TRACK? and how were the judges able to justify killing her FIRST, and finding the REAL 'facts' SECOND?
...April 2001 lawsuit in which Michael Schiavo has been charged with numerous counts of wrongful acts... Subsequent to the April 2001 filing, an amended Civil Lawsuit was filed on May 7, 2001, charging Michael Schiavo with the following counts and allegations:...the charges in the lawsuit compelled Civil Court Judge Quesada to conduct an emergency hearing on April 26, 2001. In that hearing, Judge Quesada recognized the inconsistency of Michael Schiavo's original 2000 trial testimony...
- INTENTIONAL CONSPIRACY
- BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY
- INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS
- ALLEGATIONS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS
The civil suit presented to Judge Quesada has since been amended and a portion pertaining to probate matters has been reassigned to Judge Greer's court. However, the major segment of the lawsuit is presently under consideration in Judge Schaefer's Civil Court.
May 1998 - George Felos is hired and files a petition in Court to remove Terri's feeding tube.
April 6, 1999 - House Bill 2131 was introduced in the legislature by the Florida Elder Affairs & Long-Term Care Committee to amend Section 765 (Civil Rights) of the Florida Statutes. two weeks later, the legislature Committee on Judiciary recommmended that House Bill 2131 should also change the Section 765.101 legal definition of life prolonging procedures to add: "INCLUDING ARTIFICIALLY PROVIDED SUSTENENCE AND HYDRATION, WHICH SUSTAINS, RESTORES, OR SUPPLANTS A SPONTANEOUS VITAL FUNCTION".
Oct 1, 1999 - Senate Bill 2228 (formerly HB2131) becomes law changing Section 765.101 of the Florida Statutes to include the above.
Jan 24, 2000 - Trial begins to decided whether to remove Terri's feeding tube.
Feb 11, 2000 - Judge Greer orders that Terri's feeding tube can be removed.
If you followed the timeline, Felos filed a petition to remove Terri's feeding tube BEFORE the law was changed...
Why is that? Did the Florida legislature knowingly or unknowingly pass a law that would apply specifically to Terri? I don't think there were any other hotly contested "right to die" cases at that time. (The cases of Cruzan, Bludworth, and Browning were decided years before). I wonder who paid-off or influenced who to get the law changed?

MY COMMENTS on this snippet:
WHY DOES THIS COURT OBJECT to the legislature changing laws in 2003 affecting an active case (to SAVE Terri)...
BUT the SAME COURTS WELCOMED the legislature changing laws in 1999 affecting this SAME ACTIVE case (to DESTROY Terri) ?
