Shouldn't the de novo case require new medical assessment of Terri's condition.

Probably. The problem is, you need to keep her alive long enough to get to that de novo hearing. And like I said before, "give us more time to gather new evidence" is not, and never has been, sufficient to gain an injunction.

^^^^^^


not even when the previous court orders have forbidden the parents from having the very medical assessments that would constitute new evidence? and the order not even to let a drop of liquid pass her lips in the present court-imposed dehydration is changing the 'evidence' with every passing minute.

Please give my your honest opinion of a judge who would forbid any oral nourishment? I call it going beyond the bounds of his authority. If a person can tolerate liquid by mouth and she is forbidden to have it, and is being guarded by policemen to prevent it happening.
