I'm sure Michael and the others who say Terri didn't wish to be kept alive have given sworn statements to that effect. But theirs is considered hearsay. A little double standard maybe?
Obviously! You believe Michael's claim that Terri made a direct statement to him to be true, but when other witnesses submit affidavits regarding direct statements made to them, you call that hearsay.
The only difference is that the nurses have nothing to gain by making false statements that can't be proved. Michael does.
