I was too busy trying to open my air sickness bag to put a "bark alert" on the headline.

He also deals with the medical evidence, as presented in sworn testimony, which is different than the many affidavits you can find at www.terrisfight.org . These inevitably include the phrase, "I have not physically examined Ms. Schiavo..." and/or "I have not seen her medical records..."

I think the article needs a koolaid alert. Greer never physically examined his victim either.

Here we go.

The only thing this article is good for is use in an outhouse.

"Do the reading, then apply your own..."

Anyone know where one can "do the reading?"

[EternalHope]

Impeach Judge Greer?

Naw. That would be letting him off too easily.

[Jacquerie]

Sorry, I will never accept a death sentence of dehydration and starvation. If he was so sure that she wished to be dead, why not show pity for the innocent woman and euthanize her like a serial murderer?

If he is so sure, why will Greer not open the case files under a state FOIA as a south FL newspaper requested?

[tophat9000]

George Greer simply followed the law

And that no more an absolute then "I simply followed orders"

[Lexinom]

Speaking of judges, the much maligned and threatened George Greer simply followed the law as it

One word: Shylock.

[Logical me]

" The only thing this article is good for is use in an outhouse." The only problem is my printer can't use sandpaper.

Once there's been a media circus big enough to tear the Rev. Jesse away from that other Jackson's superstar trial, there's no choice but to try again. So, if your family is among the tens of thousands that will face a when-and-how-to-die decision sometime soon, and if you'd like the circus to come to you, just let the foundation know.

[trustandobey]

I don't suppose "leaving them alone" is among the options being considered.
Greer certainly didn't consider this option with Terri.
Had he left her alone for her family to love and take care of he would have been a hero. Now he is just another murderer and hopefully will be tried as such.

Could it be that the law specifically allows for the Husband to make the decision as a right reserved to the individual under the Constitution?

Conservatives should be relived that the government it self acknowledged that it’s powers were limited by the Constitution, that the Congress the Governor and even the President himself could not over run the legal decision made by a mere citizen.

In Westinghouse Elect. Corp., Inc. v. Bay County Energy Systems, Inc., 590 So. 2d 986, 988 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), the court stated: Clear and convincing evidence requires that the evidence must be found to be credible; the facts to which the witnesses testify must be distinctly remembered; the testimony must be precise and explicit and the witnesses must be lacking in confusion as to the facts in issue. The evidence must be of such weight that it produces in the mind of the trier of fact a firm belief or conviction, without hesitancy, as to the truth of the allegations sought to be established [and therefore also the falsity or inaccuracy of contray testimony or evidence].

Although this standard of proof may be met where the evidence is in conflict, In re Guardianship of Browning, 543 So. 2d 258, 273 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989), approved, 568 So. 2d 4 (Fla. 1990), it seems to preclude evidence that is ambiguous.

[L.N. Smithee]

Don't worry about omitting the barf alert. For most of us here, "Judge Greer" IS a barf alert.

I notice that while the author has no trouble kicking the Schindlers in the stomach, implies they are greedy for beginning a foundation in Terri's name (like there aren't thousands that formed that will never hit a wire story), and decries a "circus" in which, as a member of the media, he serves as a clown, he doesn't have anything to say about Michael Schiavo and the Ghoul of his dreams, George "She collapsed from bulimia but looks REALLY hot when she doesn't eat at all" Felos.

As I said in another thread, if watching Felos in his post-mortem press conference didn't make your skin crawl, you're a skeleton!

[Rastus]

Somehow "relief" is not what comes to mind when the State has the power to starve its citizens to death.

[Cboldt]

Could it be that the law specifically allows for the Husband to make the decision as a right reserved to the individual under the Constitution?

Nope. The various opinions and pleading make that clear. The object is to discern and apply the patient's wishes.

[sport]

I not only believe that judge greer is a hero, I believe that he is a clod blooded murderer.

I did join the move to impeach him.

He is a hero to the death culture crowd.

The problem I have with the death culture crowd is they want o kill everyone but themselves.

If they only killed themselves ,I would not care.

But they only desire to kill the helpless, unborn and partially born children , and the infirm and crippled.

That I have a problem with.
