Affirmed by the Second District Court of Appeals in an almost de-novo review of the case and the FSC in an appeal.<<

There is no such thing as an "almost de-novo" review.

The appeals court looked at the evidence developed in Judge Greer's trial court, and found that he did not come to a conclusion that they would possibly disagree either in error of law, or MASSIVE error in judgement.

De-novo would mean a new trial, as if the first never happened.

Of course now Terri would not have been "euthanized". They have tightened up the rules. Before 2001 Terri would not have been "euthanized". It was against the rules, and that stopped them from killing her the first time.

So Terri was killed, because in a short window of time, it was legal. What a legal system!

Untrue.

This was a case to authorize the termination of life-prolonging procedures under chapter 765, Florida Statutes (1997), and under the constitutional guidelines enunciated in In re Guardianship of Browning, 568 So.2d 4 (Fla.1990). [FN2]
