The purpose of judicial review is to uncover the facts.

The way I have heard it explained regarding the multiple reviews at higher levels is that if Judge Greer stacked the deck against the Schindlers by refusing to allow into the case evidence from the Schindlers, then the only thing that the higher courts can review is ONLY the evidence that Greer DID allow in, which in my view was absolutely one-sided. Since Greer only allowed evidence that was beneficial to Michael Schiavo's argument, given that evidence was the only evidence that the higher courts could review, then it was a slam dunk that higher courts would uphold the lower court ruling. It was explained that the "hearing of the facts" was ONLY done by Greer. Reviews at higher levels DO NOT re-hear all of the facts presented as evidence, only the facts allowed as evidence by the Judge in the lower court. That is what tha FOX News expert explained this morning.

Whoa! Where did you read this little conspiracy ditty?

Totally a lie. and you'd agree it's a lie if you read the transcripts.
