You'd think with all of this free publicity, there'd be no shortage of high caliber attorneys who'd be willing to handle this on a pro bono basis. David Boies comes to mind...
Sorry but anyone who goes to court loses. Judges will not help Terri.
Would have been nice if they had had a great lawyer. Afraid the one they have was totally incapable of handling this. Can you imagine preparing 6 or 7 court presentations in one week?
I already posted about that. It is a painful spectacle in so many ways. And the list just keeps getting longer.
All the "high-calibre" attorneys are pro-death.
That's what makes them look "high-calibre".
They always win. The rest are rubes.
He didn't "get" it, did he?
This, plus I'm watching Randall "Charles Nelson Reilly" Terry pontificating on Fox; he's like a dog with a bone; the new face of conservatism, lecturing Jeb Bush and the United States Congress.
My guess is Whittemore, the Clinton appointee will go home and sleep. Issue a 5 sentence ruling that George Felos and Greer are my friends and Terri is exercising her rights to starve. Have a Happy Garden Weekend
He was on the TV the other night lamenting the fact that the lawyer was arguing the case from a very narrow viewpoint and the courts had no choice but to reject it. He never came right out and said it, but it sounded like he disagreed with the removal of the feeding tube.
It would be interesting to see what could be done with a really good lawyer directing things.
"David Gibbs attempted to liken Schiavo's death to a murder, the judge [Whittemore]interrupted. Whittemore called the comparison 'emotional rhetoric' and said it wouldn't influence the court"
The emotional rhetoric is true; that's what sad. But yes, we can all learn from "David Boies" as you said!
Lord, please speak Your Truth to Whittemore all night.
IMO this guy Gibbs is heads above the family's previous counsel. Again, IMO, Pam Anderson is the reason for this family's been put through this legal merry-go-round.

Many offered, but they were turned down.
