I apologise. I never should have thrown you into the mix. It was irresponsible. I agree that during Terris case some rumors were made into facts but by the same token some that felt the legal system was aok purposely ignored the initial trial decisions by Greer that showed a propensity to accept Michael's belated hearsay admission shortly after the settlement that stated Terri had stated she wanted to die and ignored the hearsay testimony of Terri's best friend, in fact dispelling her testimony by coming to a conclusion that Terri's statement about the Quinlan case was inadmissable because thy were both seventeen at the time when they were both actually 19 at the time.
One of the frustrating things about Terri and Judge Greer is that I never found a link to the original trial testimony. There was plenty of commentary as to what had been said and the motivations of those who said it. Some or all of it might have been true. But there was no way for me (or anyone else that I know of) to go look at the testimony that Greer actually heard and judge its credibility.
There's not much doubt that his rulings almost universally favored Michael, and I have grave doubts whether the evidence heard regarding Terri's wishes met the "clear and convincing" standard required by Florida law. At best, I think it met an "unclear and conflicting" standard, which isn't good enough.
It's a terribly sad case for Terri and her family, but perhaps some good will come out of it. A lot of people are making their wishes known so that there can be no argument about it if it ever comes to that. Perhaps some laws will be changed. And perhaps the judiciary will feel the heat to stop running roughshod over the other branches of government.
