Sir, this was a terrible tragedy for this woman. What these guys keep leaving out is that they had the window of opportunity to appeal, they didn’t. And due process took it’s course. And yes, Jeb Bush did make an effort but due process took it’s course.
Again, if there’s to be blame, I blame the husband. But then who knows, I don’t and you don’t know whether he knew the wife’s wishes better than the family did.
Hopefully this was a terrible lesson and people will make sure they have a living will stating their wishes explicitly and not leaving the burden of such a decision up to somebody else to make, or have to fight.
Why is this being brought up again NOW? Somebody needing a distraction from the events of today?
How can you claim due process took its course [sic] without recognizing the fact that the process that was due was more than just making a decision without respect to the evidence, and standing by that decision. Words mean things. "Due" has a meaning in the phrase "due process." Shuffling papers and doing anything you damn well please in violation of the law can be a process, but it's not due process.
It's true that we don't know, for an absolute fact, whether Michael knew the wifes wishes better than the family did, but we do know that he testified in court that he had to become a nurse in order to fulfill the promise she got from him, to take care of her for the rest of her life, which he expected would be several decades. His testimony was that he promised to care for her until she died of old age. He didn't say that he promised to cut that life short. He said he promised to take care of her for all of those many years. Do you think he lied about that?
What lesson are you claiming Terri lacked? That it was her fault she was murdered, because she didn't protect herself well enough? Because she didn't fill out the papers which might one day become popular, but which in her day were only filled out by people wanting something in complete violation of everything she held dear? Papers which no one who wanted what she wanted would have filled out? It's her own fault, because she caused Michael a burden by not taking legal steps to prevent him from murdering her? Terri was the one who did wrong by Michael, because she created a burden, and dumped that burden on him? I guess that explains why he called her a bitch, and lamented "When is that bitch going to die?"
This is not being brought up again NOW. You must have been under a rock for the past several years not to know that Terri has been in the news since before Michael announced his plan to kill her. She's been in the news ever since. This is nothing new. And it isn't going away. As long as you and your kind continue to push for expanded powers to murder people, you should expect vocal opposition.
We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest.

Then why did he wait until AFTER an award of over a million dollars before deciding this?
