Terri Schiavo Judge George Greer to Speak at Jury Trial Conference
Life News ^ | 1/5/07 | Steven Ertelt

Dallas, TX (LifeNews.com) -- Judge George Greer continues to travel the lecture circuit despite his controversial ruling allowing Terri Schiavo's former husband to kill her via euthanasia. Greer is slated to speak at a national summit concerning jury trials, even though he unilaterally allowed the taking of Terri's life without a jury deliberation.

Greer will be one of the speakers at next month's National Jury Summit hosted by the American Board of Trial Advocates.

The conference is an opportunity for legal experts to discuss the threats to the jury system.

The presentations will deal with the civil jury system, factors causing its deterioration, the benefits of preserving the jury trial, and what changes are needed to bring about recovery.

ABTA lists Judge Greer as the first in the line of speakers at the conference.

According to a press release of the event LifeNews.com obtained, ABTA says Greer "will address judicial independence and the civil jury system. He will discuss how the Terri Schiavo case and other recent events impact and damage the civil jury system in America."

Despite Greer's condemning Terri to a painful 13-day starvation and dehydration death, Greer was also a featured speaker at Loyola Law School Los Angeles last June.

There, Greer instructed members of the mainstream media in how to report on significant legal stories like the battle over Terri's life.

According to a statement from the school provided to LifeNews.com, Greer served on the faculty of the inaugural "Journalist Law School" at Loyola. The journalist law school was a three day long intensive seminar for reporters who write on the government, the courts, and individual court cases.

Journalists from CNN, CBS News, ABC News Radio, Bloomberg WNBC, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia Daily News and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution attended the conference.

Greer also previously came under fire for speaking engagements at a bioethics forum at the University of Pennsylvania and a local Bar Association event in Florida.

Terri's brother Bobby Schindler has said that his family saw Greer's "pro-euthanasia, pro-death bias" for years during the legal battle and indicated the bias "tempered his decisions in my sister's case and caused him to unethically, immorally and illegally ordered her to die."

"How can any citizens of Florida have confidence that Judge Greer will remain unbiased now that he is on the speaking circuit justifying the killing of an innocent, disabled woman without any proof of her consent?" Schindler asked.

Schindler said Greer's public speaking "makes a mockery of the entire judicial system" and "certainly shows his bias against the disabled."

That's the thing that goes off at the end of a basketball game. You know, like, "He won the game with a jumpshot at the buzarre."

You're better off ignoring these twits who've been neutered by emotion. Worst thing to happen to conservatism and FR in a long time.

Not very funny, alas. Judgment by group is the modern heresy and was at the root of the extreme political carnage of the 20th Century. Socialists (red shirts, black shirts, brown shirts) killed no fewer than 150 million innocents who belonged to the "wrong" or "inferior" group -- bourgeoisie, Kulaks, intelligentsia, Jews, Slavs, local tribes. Hitler and his SS were no better than 3rd on the mass murder list, far behind Mao and Stalin. Proportionately, Pol Pot was the cruellest murderer of them all and deserves to be remembered with an endowed chair at every liberal university.

Only in the minds of those who would give the state veto power over family medical decisions.

Or those who would allow a summary execution without a trial by a jury of peers for the accused...

Good morning, 68 grunt. The right to life is bedrock conservatism and a view shared by most of Free Republic. Please feel free to stop by the ongoing Terri thread(s) -- current Terri thread here -- and read up on the case. The folks are friendly, intelligent, and well informed. You'll get a different and far larger picture from the one that was filtered to the public by the MSM.

Macaroni and cheese and regular eye drops are medical treatment in Florida. Warning: DO NOT VISIT FLORIDA if you consider the possible consequences.

No judge in American jurisprudence CAN DETERMINE THE MANNER OF ANYONE'S DEATH, not even someone on death row. Greer VIOLATED THE LAW by determining the manner of Terri's death by starvation and dehydration.

Against the law.

Greer deliberately kept out evidence. By the way, I AM NOT SUPPORTING MITT ROMNEY. Greer's Florida mafia is going to bankroll Mitt Romney for President.

A VOTE FOR MITT IS A VOTE FOR THE CULTURE OF DEATH. (he's trying to hide behind Haleigh's skirts at the moment).

Death Lawyers stealing Terri's rehab money, stopping her rehabilitation and killing Terri were NOT family medical decisions. How many family medical decisions require the aid of the ACLU? Are you a fan of the ACLU? They were at counsel's table for the death lawyers.

So many guardianship statutes were violated that in a real court of law, MICHAEL SCHIAVO would have been expelled as guardian and a REAL GUARDIAN appointed. Because this is the State of Florida, the Starvation State, Michael recvd guardian of the year award for 2005 for KILLING HIS WIFE.

Warning: Visit Florida with caution. Our governor is in the tribe/culture of death too. He luvs teachers but nary one word about seniors or the disabled in his first speech.

If you're a teacher, visit Florida. Florida now belongs to u. Everyone else is immaterial or neglected or when the justice system, DCF, the police, the medical community and the attorneys are corrupt, they will kill disabled people.

Worst thing to happen to conservatism... in a long time.

Some of us think that a certain case of overreach in early 2005, leading to the loss of a lot of good conservative elected officials in last year's election, was the worst thing to happen to conservatism in a long time. YMMV.
