It must be Florida law that says Schiavo's claim is indisputable? Otherwise, couldn't you prove she wished to live or prove that she changed her mind and wants to live now via witnesses?

The family had the integrity not to lie and claim that she asked at a later date not to be treated in such a fashion. But if they had lied, and had been consistent at it, they could have won a reprieve, even if in fact she had wished it and told Michael such.

Maybe even Greer saw it was fishy but fishiness doesn't count in civil law, only technical preponderance of evidence. I don't want to be starved to death on what a judge figures to be a 51% (or even 66-2/3%) chance that I said so orally. No sir, not unless I put it in writing and sign it myself and swear it before a notary.
