The Court reached a decision based on what they found to be Terri's wishes, not Michael Schiavo's wishes.
They had testimony from several different people, including one of Terri's best friends, who corraborated the fact that Terri's wish was NOT to be sustained alive by artificial means.
The Florida State Constitution guarantees people the right to refuse medical treatment.
No. Just Michael, Michaels brother and his wife. They all heard Terri make a comment "at a funeral".
While Terri was in the process of being starved to death, the brother changed his story to "They discussed it in the privacy of their own home" in a FOX interview. If it were in private and in their home, how then did he and his wife hear it?
The brother should make up his mind which lie he's going to keep and which lie has to go! It can't be both ways!
It's too late for Terri now, though.
What evidence is there, other than her own say-so, that Michael's sister-in-law was ever Terri's best friend?
I just looked at Greer's ruling again...he explicitly said he didn't need to rule on Michael Schiavo's testimony because he had Scott and Joan Schiavo's testimony. The only testimony of a friend of Terri's was that she wouldn't want the feeding tube removed. Interestingly Greer dismissed her testimony because he didn't know when Karen Quinlin died(the event that sparked the discussion between the witness and Terri) and questioned the actual date of the conversation.
