Unfortunately, that is not my expertise. My experise is finance.

I'll be honest with you. I think you are going to have a tough time doing what you want to do, or finding an attorney who's willing to take on the case. If you were a family member, you might have had a chance earlier on, but this thing is so far down the road... I understand that the lead attorney for the Schiavo side quit recently. I suspect that it's because she realized the case was over, for all practical purposes. They lost at the Fla. Supreme Court level, and my guess is that the US Supreme Court will not touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Just because it's wrongly decided doesn't mean the US S.Ct will consider it. They only take on cases when there is something they are trying to accomplish in filling in the federal law. The Fla. Supreme Court was pretty clear, I think, that it was deciding the case on the basis of Florida law. That being the case, the US S.Ct. doesn't have a whole lot to say about it.

I feel that it is a slam dunk case because it has to do with mandatory reporting, denial of anything wrong by the entities or no response whatsoever, etc. when the evidence in their own hands shows something extremely wrong and evidence upon which they should act. You haven't seen what I have documented or what I have gone through so it would be premature for you to tell me that I'm going to have a tough time.

Of course, you are right, the U.S. "Supremes" have already refused to hear appeals from the Schiavo case going back several years now. SCOTUS has left "euthanasia" (but not abortion or school prayer) to the states.

I think it has more to do with the idea that there are MORE battles yet to fight. Pat Anderson has put her heart and soul into helping the Schindlers, and I doubt she'd just give up. She knows the Schindlers are in very capable hands.
