Do you dispute that ancient Roman law and courts allowed hearsay as evidence, on which an execution could be ordered? Do you dispute that hearsay was used in this trial as the basis for issuing a death warrant?

No. But then, this is not a criminal case, and Terri Schiavo is not the modern day equivalent of Jesus Christ.

No need to draw religion into it. The Roman courts put a heck of a lot of people to death besides Him.

The only reason it's a civil case rather than a criminal one is that Terri Schiavo committed no crime for which she should be rightfully executed.
