Why was only one man, Judge Greer, the determinant of the facts in Terri's case? In most other cases, it is a jury that determines the facts. Certainly the facts in all capital cases are determined by a jury. Subsequent appeals generally deal with interpretations of the law, rather than redetermining the facts of the case, unless there is new evidence.
Setting aside personalities, as distasteful as they appear to be, having only one person determine the facts seems to be the central failing of the judicial system in Terri's case. For the future, that failing could be solved by legislative action.

A little off the subject: MSM ripped people for thinking Sadam was linked to 9-11 and yet they accept the polls that said people think it was ok to kill Terri. Alot of People did not have the facts in both cases. MSM has failed us and should be disolved.
Apparently, this hospice has been audited in the past for medicaid fraud, something like 14 million dollars worth. And, supposedly a number of people go into that place when they aren't terminal with 6 months to live.
Those intent on committing murder place little importance on conflicts of interest. This includes the MSM.
They got their wish.
Top Neurologist's Report on Terri Released: (snip)
http://www.newsmax.com
"Spinal Exam: The patient's exam from a spinal perspective is abnormal. The degree of limitation of range of motion, and of spasms in her neck, is consistent with a neck injury. The abnormal sensory exam, that shows evidence of her hypoxic encephalopathic strokes (right side sensory responses are different from left) also suggests a spinal cord injury at around the level of C4. Her physical exam and videotapes also suggest a spinal cord injury is also present, as she has much better control over he face, head, and neck, than over her arms and legs. This reminds one of a person with a spinal cord injury who has good facial control, but poor use of arms and legs. It is possible that a correctable spinal abnormality such as a herniated disk may be found that could be treated and result in better neurological functioning. This should be looked for, as may be treatable. Thus, there may be an injured disk or spinal cord; the disk injury is more treatable, the spinal cord injury, if present without a disk injury, may be more difficult to treat. A person with a spinal cord injury and hypoxic encephalopathy will need different treatment and rehab recommendations than one who just has a hypoxic encephalopathic.
Interestingly, I have seen this pattern of mixed brain (cerebral) and spinal cord findings in a patient once before, a patient who was asphyxiated."
TERRI HAD A SPINAL INJURY. WE WANT TO KNOW IT HAPPENED.
It's the media's failure to present both sides of the case to the public that have resulted in the poll numbers that have been released. If and when this case is debated nationally in regard to future legislation, I think the poll numbers will shift about 20%.
"seeks to accelerate the dying process."
Gosh, since we are all, in effect, dying, why prosecute homocide at all?
We had a case here, a few years ago, where three punks assaulted a woman. She died as a direct result of those injuries. The problem was that she had a terminal illness. The defense claimed that she was dying anyway and the beating just "accelerated the dying process". The main a**hole got off with 5 years and his accomplices did time served. They are now heroes in their community as "warriors". who beat the system.

I hope that this stirs up anough interest to keep this on the front burner till the issue is sorted out rightfully...to honor Terri, and the many others like her.
Hey, Freepers...there's a beautiful song dedicated to Terri at this site:

Checkout hyscience.com for yourself. Now there's a good reference!
We are too be objective to Michael....when everything he does is to shove it in the Americans face, not only the Schindlers!
Michael Schiavo has locked hands with this Global Ethici/Bioethic aka Hemlock Society, Humanist Manifesto, look it up on the net their agenda....Global Humanity and when you do also include one of our notorious lefty and see how they endorse this "Ogreish Future Governemnt!"
It is important that us God fearing and those who also abide by the Law identify our enemy! Not so we can name call....but to know how we need to hold our own ground!
They want to divide and conqueror thinking they can call us Angry White Men.....our enemy wants to lable us and to demean us....that way we won't matter anymore than the weak disable Terri was, they claim she was bulimic and did this to her self so she has no one to blame but herself,
her rights as a citizen was usurp from her by a necrophiliac!
Many among us are Law abiding citizen who don't hold our religious views BUT DO WANT to live in a community that is SECURE for ALL of US!
This Global Humanist group which is a Ghoulish Religion some are humanist, some are satanist, some even claim to be from various religions of the world which is a mockery etc.
Run a check your doctor, lawyer, politicians, courts, Universties etc!
How many are in your life and you do not even know?
Yes some we have to do business with some, but we should know who we are dealing with THEY SURE KNOW US they have no quams about who we are and what they THINK about us, see how many endorse the Global Code of Ethics!
I see a story today where the BBC is upset with America for letting Terri starve...but who are they blaming one of the Global ethic friend, no! They are blaming the conservative right who stood up for Terri!
I can't remmber the name of the priest that was in the room with Terri for several hours during the last 12-18 hours of her life, but he basically destroyed whatever credibility that Felos had when Felos stated that Terri was (paraphrase) peaceful, etc. The priest reported that she was "panting", etc and that Terri was "not doing well".
I will believe the priest. I believe as time goes by, more and more people will recognize Felos for what is he - a ghoul.
