What is the motive for three nurses to offer this kind of sworn statement? They have nothing to gain.

That'd come in testimony, wouldn't it?

Well, Paw, I'm neither a judge nor an attorney but I'm capable of independent thought. FR is not a court of law. We don't give testimony here, we don't get a jurors vote and we don't rule on the admissiblity of evidence.

We simply look at the facts as best we can and make judgements. My judgement is that a court ordering the starvation of a woman at the behest of a husband who has a new paramour with one bambino on base and one on deck is a travesty of justice.

Two of 5 specialists testified at the trial that Terri could be rehabilitated somewhat. Her wishes as regards feeding tubes is unclear. Three nurses who took care of the patient filed affidavits supporting the parents claims.

I'm not big into conspiracies. The facts are as I described them and while a criminal conviction requires evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, the starvation of a disabled woman seems merely to require dubious testimony from an estranged husband and 3 out 5 expert witnesses.

Something very wrong there Counselor.
