Let's hope your optimism about this FL judge is warranted. If she says that she can LEGALLY do nothing but uphold the Greer trial court transcript, then Terri will be starved/dehydrated again. She alone could reverse FL's growing image as a haven of judicial tyranny.

Maybe the judges are getting together to figure out a way to get treatment for Terri without seeming to relinquish any of their political power. They could never do such with Baird in charge. Still, the term "FL judge" makes me nervous regardless of the individual identity.

I took special note of the following, from the article cited at the top of this thread:

She's also Florida Jurist of the Year for 2002, a lofty title given to a single judge who upholds the sanctity of the jury trial system, according to votes of the Florida chapters for the American Board of Trial Advocates....

...She was thrilled when Chiles appointed her out of 31 applicants. And the honors continue. Khouzam was appointed by the Florida Supreme Court to sit on a committee studying improvements to the judicial system. This past summer she was named Florida's jurist of the year by a prestigious group of Florida lawyers belonging to the invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates, an organization dedicated to preserving the right to trial by jury. [emphasis mine]

Terri never had a jury trial, right? I'm saying that this piece of info is worth keeping in mind. :o)

In addition, her credentials appear to be impeccable. An appeals court would be hard pressed to convincingly argue against any of her decisions.

I may be wrong, but I think that the time of Terri's freedom is at hand. If Khouzam is given this case, I do believe we'll have seen the fall of the first domino.

I think, I hope, I pray.
