How can that not be a major violation and why isn't he in jail for changing a witness' testimony IN HIS ORDER?
Exactly!! Why this incompetent judge is being given a free ride, beats me!!!!!! I cannot believe that he was not voted out of office!!
Welcome back!
Two things.....
It is very telling that the U.S. House and Senate are getting involved.
Senator Brownback is on the Senate Judiciary Committee with Senator Hatch, and they work very closely together. Yes, that is a fact. And he came out for Rep. Dave Weldon's law in the House that would access Terri to the Federal Courts, where her case could be heard all over again as if starting anew. It's called habeas corpus, and it's what deathrow inmates get access to before they are put to death.
As to Greer changing Diane's and Terri's ages to just young kids, attorney Gibbs said he was mistaken about when Karen Quinlan died...he had the wrong year by several years! So using that wrong date, he concluded that Diane must have been wrong when she testified how old they were when Terri openly disagreed with the Quinlans removing life support. Gibbs said if this were a criminal case, Greer would be overturned on appeal for reversible error.
I never thought of it as Greer literally changing her testimony, but if that's what he did, then he did so by using the wrong date for Karen's death. And someone caught that by looking up the case on the internet, and that someone contacted Gibbs.
Isn't that stupendous!?!?!?
Our state has a judicial standards commission and a friend sat on it.
One would think Florida has some body charged with monitoring judicial conduct.
Greer is a prime candidate for emergency en banc review.
