What would be interesting would be if someone were to step forward and press charges against Terri for a crime she commited before this all happened.
Wouldn't the state then be obligated to arrest (take into custody) Terri?

That type of action would be patently specious and not helpful. I suggested tongue in cheek the other day that President Bush should draft her. But it was not serious. If the executive branch steps in to save the day here, they will need to have a well-reasoned legal argument in support of this action, complete with citation to statutory authority and case law, and even then, they will be attacked viciously by the pro-death media. For the rest of their careers, it will be mentioned in any sentence with their name on it. To act on phony reasons will do no one any good.

A person can't press charges. The government presses charges with the testimony of the person. I wish that would work though.
