You wrote--> True, but like everything else, that request was also thrown out. (If I remember right, the Schindlers lawyers filed too late on their request. But, whatever happened, they made the request and it was denied.)""

I've read many posts that have said Gibbs, the lawyer for the Schindlers wouldn't allow great lawyers, like Jay Sekulow to help, early on. I've read that Gibbs was not competent. I hope the truth comes out about Gibbs. Does anyone know how long Gibbs has practiced law in Florida??

Gibbs has a law office in Ohio. In the same city that the tie breaker Doctor came from. It's Cleveland, Ohio. Did they know one another. I'm just asking. I have no idea of what is going on. I don't understand. The doctor from Cleveland, Ohio was a big part of signing Terri's death execution. What the blank is going on???

If anyone knows please respond!!

The Schindlers had attorneys before Gibbs, too. By the time it got to Gibbs, the findings of "fact" were already done. In fact, one Schindler attorney (before Gibbs) actually agreed in court that Terri was PVS! Not much the Schindlers could do after that!

I have not checked where they received their degrees, but that wouldn't help either -- they could have graduated at the bottom of their class. Or maybe they were adequate but only allocated a few hours due to the Schindler finances and that the attorneys themselves may not have cared.

Didn't know that Gibbs wouldn't ALLOW Jay Sekulow to assist, but I'm not surprised. Many lawyers don't like to be second-guessed -- they want to be the "expert" on the team.

However, I DID read the federal briefs that were submitted relative to the Act that Congress passed. The first (Gibbs') was TERRIBLE and even your first year judge would have denied it. He entirely missed the boat. The last round of apppeals (which were prepared WITH Jay Sekulow's assistance) were very well written, but by then the federal courts probably felt "over-appealed."

I think the tie breaker doctor came from Minnesota. He's Dr. Ronald Cranford. I know he examined Terri. See powerline.com "Dealing with the Demented" He's a real piece of work. I hear that's he's declared Walter Mondale's in a PVS. (just kidding Fritz is in a PBS Persistent Boring State)

From what I've read, the Schindlers' first attorney, some blonde woman (her pic was on FR recently), got the Schindlers to stipulate that Terri was PVS. Sounds like that is the biggest error made in this case by their side. At any rate, once that had been stipulated, apparently Greer had no interest in reviewing new evidence.

As for Gibbs, I don't think he is a bad lawyer (he sure was busy filing all those motions and affidavits), but Felos obviously outmaneuvered him, and possibly already had Greer in his pocket.
