"Why was only one man, Judge Greer, the determinant of the facts in Terri's case?"

Have you read the opinions of the 2nd District Court of Appeals?

If you read them, it will quickly become obvious that the premise of your question is deeply flawed.

I acknowledge that some early fact-finding was done by Judge Shames. And Judge Quesada did some fact-finding (in the Schindler's favor) before an appeals court decreed that Judge Greer was the only qualified fact-finder. But what other judges have heard so much as a single witness?
