Seriously, considering how corrupt and screwed-up Florida courts are, I never intend to visit that state for fear that I may end up in front of one of their "circus" courts.
I won't go there. I'm not sure I'm going to ever step foot out of Texas again.
Seriously, you're right.
Here's someone who fell ill in Alabama, got placed in a nursing home in Florida, and ended up having a Florida judge order her death by starvation/dehydration --even though she cried out to nursing staff for food!
The Case of Marjorie Nighbert:
As she was slowly dehydrating to death, Marjorie began to beg the staff for food and water.Distraught nurses and staff members, not knowing what else to do, surreptitiously snuck her small amounts. One staffer—who was later fired for the deed—blew the whistle, leading to a hurried court investigation and a temporary restraining order requiring that Marjorie receive nourishment.
[Florida] Circuit Court Judge Jere Tolton appointed attorney William F. Stone to represent Marjorie and gave him twenty-four hours to determine whether she was competent to rescind the general power of attorney she had given to Maynard before her stroke. After the rushed investigation, Stone was forced to report that Marjorie was not competent at that time. (She had, after all, been intentionally malnourished for several weeks.) Stone particularly noted that he had been unable to determine whether she had been competent at the time the dehydration commenced.
With Stone’s report in hand, Judge Tolton ruled that the dehydration should be completed...
