=== and due process
This much should give folks pause if Greer's court and handling of the case constitutes the standard of "due process" by which a state court not only can deprive a person of life but -- further -- order that no water be administered during the starvation process and no pictures be taken to support the assertions of family and friends that Terri has been alert and responsive during the the past two weeks and has not dutifully slipped off like some beautiful and euphoric Sleeping Beauty as reported by Felos.
I'm having trouble pulling up the opinions. Only the denial of a rehearing comes up.
I'd really like to read the dissent of the ONE Republican who felt compelled to "send a message" that he opposed this, the longest execution (of an innocent human being) in this nation's history.
Again, I feel like the tube should be in (that we should error on the side of life) - BUT, why your suggestion of due process not being fulfilled (from above) doesn't hold water....is that the State Court found in its decision that "Terri would not have wanted to be kept alive" - So, this is fulfilling her desires - (Agree with this judgment of what Terri would have wanted or not.....which I don't ....but that is why due process was followed within the law on this case - The State court is simply fulfilling what they saw as Terri's wish if left in this condition).
