Greer chose Wolfson because of Wolfson's public condemnation of Terri being given the right to representation in the courts. He was hand-picked because of the likelihood that he would not represent any of her interests. Yet even he had to admit that she was not only alive and alert, but a good candidate for swallowing tests. His condemnation of Terri diminished when he met her, but he was already sold on having her euthanized.
Terri was helpless. It was Wolfson's legal responsibility as GAL to represent her and his moral duty as a man to come to her aid. He did neither. Instead, he condemned her to die.
If he softened his view a bit upon meeting Terri, that did her no good at all -- and only reminds us that he was completely prejudiced against her in the first place.

I agree, BB. Felos and Greer knew full well that Wolfson would promote their cause.
