I agree with Romney in this case. Government should not be involved in a he said she said family dispute. FYI:

You do realize that if it were just a family issue, to be resolved within the framework of what these people thought was "family", you'd had people thrown back on the law of vendetta and the girl's family would have dispatched the man years back.

Are you sure you want that sort of thing because if you do there's a line of folks here who'd like to talk to you under rules set out in the dueling code for gentlemen.

Government should most DEFINITELY get involved in a "he said she said family dispute" when the desired result of "he" is the terminal starvation and dehydration of "she" without a shred of evidence to go on other than the assertion by "he" that "she" wanted it that way.

There was so much other evidence that was ignored (on purpose?) by the infamous Judge Greer, but we won't rehash all that. It's available for your edification on hundreds of FR threads, with some threads running to thousands of posts.

Take your time and read all about a certain Michael Schiavo and his successful crusade to get the state of Florida to kill his disabled wife Terri in one of the cruelest ways imaginable.

"Government should not be involved in a he said she said family dispute.

It wasn't a "he said/she said family dispute." It was a county probate judge ordering that a particular woman living in Pinellas County, not having been convicted of any crime, should be deprived of nutrition and hydration until dead.
