I read an article on FR this morning by the pastor of the church that Greer attends. The pastor says in the article that the "devout Christian" Greer, as you put it, has ordered a murder! You can use search yourself and find it, but I'm sure you're already aware of it.
I'm not really fond of conspiracy theories as you claim to be. I happened on the Terri story before her feeding tube was pulled last time. In reading the articles here on FR and pulling up newspaper articles on Google, I couldn't understand how this judge could make so many bad decisions. I know there are lots of BAD lawyers and BAD judges because I went to law school back when it was not filled with p.c. fools and there were some rotten people even back then and plenty more who wanted to be. At any rate, Greer struck me as not a fool, but rather somebody on the take - you know, that good old saw "Follow the Money." Well, I did with the help of a lot of Freepers and Google. I just wonder if anyone will stop this before this helpless woman dies.
Remember that Judge Greer's rulings have been reviewed many times by higher courts.
Furthermore, even though his judgments were not supposed to receive de novo review, Greer's rulings have been so carefully scrutinized that the appellate court admitted to conducting virtually de novo review of both the facts of the case and his opinions.
If I had to guess, I would say that a liberal Democratic judge would have had much less patience with the Schindlers than a conservative Republican judge.
All the legal minds that have discussed this case with me seem to think that Judge Greer went too easy on the Schindlers, but they could be wrong. I don't recall of any serious survey done of Florida judges and their opinions on the Schiavo case.
