Actually, that's incorrect. The standards to put a convicted murderer to death are much higher and exacting than the standards to put an innocent and defenseless person to death. In Terri Schiavo's case, there's no question our justice system malfunctioned. Its got to be fixed.

"Malfunctioned" seems a bit sterile.
It looks like a black hole in the fourteenth Amendment to me.

When Greer issued the execution order, he stepped outside the boundaries of what a probate judge is allowed to do, but not one other rubber stamptrooper in black robes bothered to address that wrong, so now probate judges can execute persons without the standard of 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. ... And there are Freepers who insist the wrongs were the Congress getting involved, sheesh.
