Prayer bump for Terri!
From KDD in Florida locale on Freep (clearwater/tampa local):
KDD:
Judge Greer was just relected with 70% of the vote in Pinellas County. He is a Republican who has always had a good reputation in the county and is a highly respected judge here. The high level turnout may have been due to the slander that has been directed at him from outsiders to the county. Most of the locals, and there are 3 million of us in Pinellas county, have followed the Schivo case from the start and agree with Greers ruling's in this case. All the noise is coming from groups who do not even live here. There are a lot of eldery people who fear becoming comatose and being kept alive as a vegetable. This is a rational fear as science has devised ways to keep the body alive long after there is any mental cognition. They wish no such burden on their family either. I have also read speculation on these boards that Michael Schivo beat or strangled or did some other violence to Terri to cause her injuries. To accuse someone absent proof is bearing false witness and I've seen much of that from those who disagree with the court's ruling on these boards. Those who engage in such and at the same time call themselves Christian should be ashamed of themselves. Such stated speculation is nothing but slander. JUST THE FACTS please.
