This is amazing due to the extreme privacy regulations in healthcare.

I think it's to scare off anyone who would want to cooperate in the investigation. Now they may have to get subpoenas in order to get Terri's caregivers to squeal.

It's another example of the "impartial" judge having made up his mind prior to 2000 in fact.

Hopefully, this will backfire.
Pray that the DCF wrote out in detail their concerns about spousal abuse, refusal to rehabilitate, and the adulterous relationship rendering M. Schiavo no longer a reliable, caregiver concerned with the best interests of Terri.
It will be nice for these things to splash big time into the media.

Do you honestly think that if that's what the documents say they will ever be reported in the news?

I agree and thought he would rule this way. Just pick the ruling that hurts Terri the most and 99.9% of the time, that's the way GREER rules.

I think that if they make a big enough noise about DCF not releasing the documents, that the public interest could be piqued.

In this case Greer's rule is meant to be broken.
To: 2nd amendment mama
Yes. I'm not saying that many news outlets will run the story, but the station(s) that petitioned for the report in the first place will run whatever they get. Then, it may be up to freepers to get the word out to the larger public. At some point, the mainstream press (reluctantly) will pick up the latest developments in the case, if only to shield themselves from accusations of bias. I find this fact hopeful: the NYTimes, which from the start has been in favor of pulling Terri's tubes, used to write that Terri was in "a persistent vegetative state"; now, the Times calls Terri a "severely disabled woman". Are the Times's motives for switching noble? No way, but it's good news nonetheless.

Well I dont see the harm in it. Terri's neglect and abuse needs more visability, and that includes lack of her own legal representation, and using her rehab funds for lawyers to kill her but not lawyers or doctors to help her live. It includes everything SINCE 25feb1990, not just from her 'attack' on that one night.
The Schiavo lawyers are already going to know everyone's name who helps DCF. Only the rest of us will be in the dark. And I thought it was called the sunshine state, and a few years back they prided themselves on having sunshine laws!

....citing a need to protect the privacy of witnesses witnesses of what? They insist they have no evidence of abuse. If there was abuse, why wouldn't they have already put Terri into protective custody?

Who is insisting that there is no evidence of abuse? The DCF? Michael? About whom are you referring?

Kelly J. McKibben, deputy chief legal counsel in that region filed a motion in Greer's Court that thorough investigation will be conducted.

To: Ohioan from Florida
Don't they already have depositions from some of Terri's
former caregivers?
Perhaps, things are getting too hot, more and more
people around the world are watching and expressing
themselves in this case.
Michael, if he had a brain in his head, would give custody
to Terri's parents, and accept the rest of the money and
immunity from whatever in the future.
