Wolfson was biased AGAINST Terri from before he was appointed.

Fla. Judge Appoints Professor As Terri Schiavo Guardian

POSTED: 1:04 a.m. EST November 1, 2003

TAMPA, Fla. -- A judge appointed a University of South Florida professor Friday to conduct an independent investigation of the case of a severely brain-damaged woman at the center of a right-to-die legal case.
Jay Wolfson, a University of South Florida professor and expert on health care financing, will report his recommendations to Gov. Jeb Bush and recommend whether the stay the governor enacted to keep Terri Schiavo alive should be lifted or allowed to remain.

Pinellas Circuit Court Judge David Demers appointed Wolfson despite the objections of Bob and Mary Schindler that Wolfson was biased against the newly enacted law that allowed Bush to intervene in their daughter's case earlier this month.


Wolfson made comments about the law last week during an interview with a local television station, and the parents took that to indicate his opposition to the governor's actions. Demers said he did not find those comments to be biased, but even if they had been he believes Wolfson could be fair and impartial.

"This law raises the question, perhaps even if you do have a living will, if there is a family member who has a legitimate concern about the application of the will, could that concern translate into ignoring the living will," Wolfson said in an interview with WFTS on Wednesday.

Everyone seems to be biased. The judge, the appeals court, the legislature, the insurance company, the LEOs, the Bishop!, Jeb, GWB, the attorney generals both state and federal, the media, the people, the legislature....everyone.

But here on FR we know the truth.
