"I am really wondering about the counsel for the parents."

What I don't get is that with a case that is getting higher profile all the time and something the people are obviously behind, why the heck haven't there been more lawyers step up to the plate to help with Terri's case? Face time, name recognition, publicity, public support....what would they have to lose?

Perhaps they do not want to buck the courts too hard right now, because they will need judges like Greer in the future. I know nothing about the political landscape in Florida, however I remember the 2000 election, and I don't think much has changed since then.

That's what I want to know. It reminds me of how the republicans act . . . letting the democrats crap all over them and always trying to be polite. Grrrrrr.

Gloria Allred's busy.
Marcia Clark couldn't nail OJ.
It's not our decision anyway, but a known face would help get natl attention, and that can only be good for Terri.
