"I think it is deliberate misleading to present only the original finding"

I presented the testimony of her mother, and how her mother admitted she was wrong. You're talking about the testimony of Terri's friend. That's different. Isn't it?

Her friend testified that Terri made some comments in the present tense about Quilan's father wanting to "pull the plug". Judge Greer mistakenly connected "pullin the plug" with death (as it usually would be) and made the statement he did.

It was appealed because of that statement. In the appeal, Judge Greer addressed it in writing. It changes nothing.

Different as to the person giving the testimony, obviously. And I stand corrected, to the extent that it was the friend's testimony that was in the news.

But as for Judge Greer's error (that Quinlan died in 1976 - or was not alive in 1982), I believe also plays into Mrs. Schindler's testimony. Her "admission" notwhistanding, her initial testimony was that she and Terri had a conversation when Terri was in her teens, well over the age of 11. What courtroom exchange prompted her to "admit" that Terri must have been 11 at the time of their dialog? Was it something on the order of "Terri couldn't have bee in her teens at the time of the discussion, Ms. Quinlan was not alive at that time." ?
