The state law is premised on a person being in a persistent vegetative state, which Terri clearly is not. And there most certainly can be an investigation of attempted murder.
What is happening is a clear perversion of the law and as such, the governor has an obligation to see that the higher law is upheld, which is Terri's right to life and protection from neglect and abuse. I am not certain that executive order is the appropriate way to address it. It looks as if there are other legal avenues open to Governor Bush if he would choose to pursue them, based on the legal opinions that he has been given and that have been posted on these threads. I am of the opinion that he has a legal obligation to do something, and he certainly has a moral obligation. As one poster said, he could at least have a press conference amd make some of thes facts known and condemn what is happening, but instead it appears that he is encouraging the media to downplay the story, as per a post on a thread last night. If this is true, then I believe he is wrong.
Unfortunately, the courts have ruled she is in a persistent vegetative state. That's why the courts Michael Schiavo can have the feeding tube disconnected.
I do believe that FDLE has already investigated other complaints made by the Schindlers--about the broken bones--and, although I don't have the precise wording, they declined to have the case prosecuted.
The only good that will come out of all this is there will be changes in the state law.
