>>Don't confuse the Kill Terri crowd with facts..!


You're right! THEY don't want any more facts, just like Judge Greer. Greer has heard all the 'facts' he ever cares to hear.

And all the other courts never review his 'facts', only his
'procedures'. That's why a 'trial de novo' was so important.
It would have been a do-over of the original 'facts' that
condemned her, along with ALL NEW testimony as well.

Does anyone know if the federal trial de novo would use the
stricter standard of proof of "beyond any reasonable doubt"?

Would it have had a jury?

In civil trials, "clear and convincing" is the same statndard that "beyond a reasonable doubt" is in a criminal case.

The federal courts got the law wrong. Greer got the facts wrong. And the judicial system is showing us its ass.
