Jeb could have ordered the FL state police swat team in, and ordered the county people to stand down, and taken her under guard to a place she where would be cared for and not murdered. The fact that he wimped out in the face of a judges opinion, while being in command of forces that could have saved her, does not reflect favorably on his moral fiber, and excusing himself by complaining he was just following orders is no excuse. No one is compelled to obey an immoral order.

What you are talking about it not legal action, but extra-legal action. deciding not to exceed the powers that the people entrusted you with is not 'wimping out', IMHO.

"No one is compelled to obey an immoral order."
It would be better to take it up with all those - police, hospice, various judges - who followed it, rather than those who didnt.
