Yeh, I'm shocked, shocked that Greer won't hear it. The man seems to have malice toward Terri and her family. He basically said in his last ruling that he doesn't want to hassle with Terri's case and made it March 18 so Terri's family can prepare for Last Rites. He has issued a death sentence on a helpless disabled woman, and he has ordered her to be executed using a method that wouldn't even be allowed for a dog. Would the judge sentence a serial killer or child murderer to be starved and dehydrated to death?
The "judge" issued the death sentence based of the controversial, hearsay testimony of her adulterous husband. My opinion of this is HERE along with links to what I think are pertinent issues (the first one at the top-doesnt work, but the rest do).
Judge Greer's actions against Terri show malice to me. He has repeatedly gone along with Michael Schiavo. The Florida DCF wanted to investigate Michael Shiavo for abuses against Terri. Michael Shiavo goes to court to ask that the DFC be stopped. Michael Schiavo- the person who the allegations of abuse and neglect are against, goes to court and the judge sides with him, stops the investigation of abuse. Unfreakinbeleivable. See post 25 below.
Here is more of judger Greer's handiwork. All you death freaks- scroll down to where it talks about the vomiting, fevers, and diarrhea Terri had to endure the last time your legal representatives tried to murder her. Here are the effects of only 3 days of starvation and dehydration. What a lovely thing to do to woman in a wheel chair .(sarcasm x 10).
Here is a POST 25 with more pertinent points.
Here POST 21 is another brief but brilliant post by a Freeper
And HERE is a list of the violations of Terri's rights.
At this point, the BTK serial killer will be given a trial that is far more fair than Terri can hope to get at the hands of judge Greer and the euthanasia advocates who supposedly represent her through her "guardian" adulterous husband. Felos is behind the law that changed food and water from sustenance to life support. He is a euthanasia activist. Greer is a euthanasia advocate. There are money ties. The Hospice Terri is illegally imprisoned in is the same one where Felos was chairman of the board.
There have been allegations of abuse against Terri's husband, but he is able to stop the investigation. He promised to take care of Terri for the rest of her life, then never gave her another rehabilitative therapy after he received the monetary award to care for her. He didn't remember that she wanted to be killed if she became disabled, until after he received the monetary award. He is living with another woman, has 2 children by her.
He has kept Terri in isolation. He has ordered that no religious pictures be on her walls , she is not allowed outside, she is not allowed visitors, she can't be video taped or photographed. Every single type of intervention, or pleasure that might have the slightest chance of stimulating her brain, he denies, the curtains have been ordered to remained closed. Pictures can't be on the walls, her family has gotten in trouble with Michel for playing a CD of Terri's music on her CD player. He let her teeth rot, denied her dental care , she has contractures which are very painful as they developed because he denied her range of motion exercises to prevent them . He knows what these things are for, he's had training.
His actions are of a man desperately trying to prevent his wife from ever recovering. His actions are also vicious and cruel to a helpless disabled person. Her family has been denied visitation for weeks, Terri has been kept in seclusion in a hospice though she has no terminal illness. She has had to endure infections, such as a Urinary Tract infection without treatment ( they are painful) until a court ordered him to let her be treated with antibiotics.
He stated to the court that he knew not treating the infections could lead to sepsis - a system wide infection- but the fact is, he still tried to deny her treatment until a court ordered him to . This is a loving husband?
Terri's family, her own family, her mother and father , sister and brother, the people who have known Terri all her life, have said that there was trouble in the marriage before Terri's "collapse", there are allegations of abuse. There are suspicious circumstances surrounding her so called "heart attack". Terri was considering divorce from Michael- according to her family. They say she would never have wanted to be starved and dehydrated to death. "Loving" husband Michael took Terri's wedding ring and had it melted down and made into a ring for himself.
Then there is the convenient return of his memory right after he receives his money, that Terri wanted to be killed if she ever became disabled. Her family disputes it. She is Catholic. His evidence - 7 years later- is some TV show that he can't remember. A feeding tube at that point in history was not considered life support or considered an extraordinary measure. No mention is made of what the TV show was about.
Was it about a person in a coma, on a ventilator and "pulling the plug"? We don't know because Michael can't remember what show it was. Terri is not in a coma, and not on a ventilator. It seems that Judge Greer has ordered her execution by a method that can't be used on convicted serial killers or a dog, based on a half remembered conversation MS had with Terri, about a TV show he can't remember.
He (Greer) has refused to hear anything Terri's OWN PARENTS- HER MOM AND DAD, BROTHER AND SISTER , have had to say, about Michael. Such as -Terri might have wanted a divorce from him, before any of this happened , that he was abusive to her on other occasions.
"Judge Greer denied" look at just about any motion the family has made to have MS investigated, or to have proper care for Terri, or to even be able to visit their own daughter on certain occassions, and it will start with that sentence.
Does it matter that Terri may have wanted a divorce from Michael before she became disabled? That he may have been abusive toward her before? Does it matter that he is allowed to continue as her guardian, though he lives with, and has children with, another woman?
I feel like this is happening in the 1970's when, if a man was beating up on his wife and the neighbors called the cops, they'd come to the door and basically tell the wife they couldn't do anything about it, but to quiet dowm. As soon as they left, the husband would start beating up his wife again, but tell her to quiet down.
(I am so fed up with having to post the same thing over and over and over again for ignorant people or maybe just cold hearted people who are too lazy to research what's happening here. It's pretty obvious to me there is something very wrong with this picture. There are so many people who are blind, though they can see.)
Why is food and water now considered life support , when it wasn't at the time of Terri's collapse? Because the law was changed. Who is behind the law being changed? George Felos Michael Schiavo's attorney who is supposedly representing Terri's guardian. How can you be a "guardian" if you're trying to have someone killed?
Greer and the rest are all pro euthanasia, as are Felos and everyone else who is supposed to be "helping" Terri. The conflicts of interest on the part of Felo's Greer and some in the Florida court and legislature are simply staggering. Michael Schiavo and Greer should have been dismissed years ago. Terri should be with her parents. She is on no machines, breathes on her own, has no terminal disease. Her care is simple. Her prospects for rehabilitation, have been shown to be successful when therapy was provided, she responded, and showed improvement. But, she hasn't had therapy in years thanks to adulterous MS's memory of her supposed death wish.
Don't you think we should be absolutely sure that everything is above board before we execute a helpless woman in a wheel chair? If there is any doubt, shouldn't we let Terri live? Let her go home to her parents and let MS go where ever it is her should go? Should we even allow a human being to be cruelly starved and dehydrated when it isn't put in writing, or unless there is no evidence that the person would have wanted otherwise? If there is any doubt at all. We should err on the side of life. Shouldn't the testimony of a person's immediate family count when trying to make this determination? Especially where there are allegations that the husband may have been abusive. And certainly where the husband has moved in and fathered children with another woman.
This case is not about euthnasia- the right to die, so to speak, it's about the right to kill and weather a judge, lawyer, and adulterous husband are going to be granted the "right" to KILL a disabled woman, in spite of numerous conflicts of interest, ties to euthanasia, suspicious circumstances, abuse allegations, lack of any concrete proof of Terri's wishes.
If they succeed in murdering Terri, based on so little proof of her wishes, it is going to set a terrifying precedent.

Your post is so complete, organized and covers so much of the Terri story. Excellent synopsis for someone who needs to learn more facts about this case but has little time.
I meant to add, thank you for posting it. I also found it helpful!: )
