I don't know, but I firmly believe that if he had a legal option to do that, he would have, rather than trying to find backdoor solutions.
The judge specifically ordered Terri killed, he didn't just give permission to Terri's husband, I would think, that should be sufficient to allow Jeb Bush to pardon Terri.
Legal language is very specific. I would question whether a "pardon" can apply to a person who hasn't been convicted of a crime. There seems to be little written in Florida law that can be used to rescue her - and that's a problem that has been highlighted by this case. We can't blame Jeb Bush for that, because he's tried to correct it.
I know he is trying to do everything possible.
I know that, too. He is her advocate. I wish people would lay off him and get behind him, but as my dad used to say, "Wish in one hand..."
I am not "blaming" Jeb Bush -- that's why I added the last statement, that I know he is doing everything possible.
But I just don't understand that you can pardon a guilty person, but a judge can condemn an innocent one to death and you can't.
