"'They' have made it clear??!! 'They' is a US District Court, which has many judges. One judge will get picked randomly to hear this case."
Who gets to pick the Judge?
That will determine what happens to Terri.
Any new judge is going to be very very careful knowing that this case is no longer being dealt with in secret. Powerful people are on the case.
It's a random draw. That's how almost all federal civil cases are assigned. I'm assuming that since this is Panellas County, one of the judges of the Tampa Division of the Middle District of Florida will get this case.
