Terri Schiavo update: Judge Baird's is OFF case.

I posted a fact, I didn't comment on whether or not the "Betting" incident is true or not. All I stated is that the bailiff that I happen to know was not aware of it. I made no claim that his statement was dispositive.

No one on these threads has posted anything but allegations re the betting. Some even admit that they don't know whether it is true or not and further, there has been no source for the allegation. I haven't read anything here by someone who claims to have witnessed the activity.

Did you witness it, or do you have a source?

Someone leaked this from the Pinellas County Court system. It's up to Bernie McCabe to investigate whether the allegations are true. This is no longer just a PR problem for the Sixth Circuit. It's indicative of a sick Circuit where heads should roll.

Stay tuned. Watch Greta Van Susteren tonight on Fox. Maybe GRETA got a tip.

Thanks for the heads up!

And, people don't realize there's more than one court complex for Pasco-Pinellas. It could be happening at one of what is it, 3 or 4 court complexes. There's downtown St. Pete, the criminal complex, downtown Clearwater. Can't remember if there's another one. It only takes two people betting to make it ILLEGAL and prejudicial.

Facts and surmises:

I know one of the bailiffs at the Courthouse personally. He used to be a patrol officer with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. He has left the street and is now a bailiff. He told me that he is unaware of any such betting. I've known him for the since 1988. I've no reason to doubt him at all.

Facts as you testify to, fair enough.

But a surmise, why through contextual surmises a reader is led to induction and inference, And a writer must be careful in their application.

And facts, when ordered or filtered themselves suggest or create a surmise that leads the reader's mind down stolen byways.

And what here? The induction that your baliff, being totally faultless and trustworthy, is a man who knows ALL that occurs in the courthouse. That, well golly, if'n a lottery was so held he would of course have been aware of it.

An induction surmised and not a fact -- but drawn from the surmises you adeptly placed in your statement. Not all fact, not all fact at all.

I must have missed the original post about Greta. I don't see any mention of having Governor Bush's attorney on at the Fox website. Where did the info come from that she was going to interview Bush's attorney tonight? Was it on a promo for the show tonight?

[floriduh voter]

The checks and balances are in the broom closet by J. Greer's office.

Did you know that Margaret Sanger's sister was sent to jail for rabble rousing so she went on a hunger strike? So, the jailers FORCE FED her. This was appalling to sister Margaret.

Yes on abortion and no on feeding tubes.

Nevermind. I found the info on the daily thread. I hadn't read it this afternoon. Thanks for telling the ones on this thread about Greta's show.

This came from www.terrisfight.org mailing list and we also discussed at the protest last night. KEN CONNOR tonight on Greta On the Record barring if we catch UBL or Britney gets married again.

We should also make an effort to have Dr. Hammesfahr on Greta's show ASAP.

[floriduh voter]

No kick boxing or karate. Terri's Angels Pray.

Definitely! He's very well-spoken. I think he would make a very interesting guest too.

[m4629]

Yes he is, and he knows his stuff.

Come to think of it, I think the Pinellas county judges should be examined by Dr. Hammesfahr, as I suspect a major epidemic of Mad Cow disease there.

[ruoflaw]

maybe Greer and Baird had a good old boy agreement that they didn't need checks and balances because they have made themselves all powerful....so much so that they can get away with murder. These guys are making their own rulings based on their own sense of the law which is totally unethical. Are these guys appointed or were they voted into office?

[floriduh voter]

I'm proud to say that I DID NOT VOTE FOR J. GREER IN 2002. I voted "no" on retention. Something was already bothering me about Greer but I didn't even know about Terri until the end of August, 2003. If I voted "yes" on Baird, everyone, please forgive me. It won't happen again.

Hi, fv! Happy Friday night, everybody.

I'm just getting in. Greta's almost over -- did Terri's story get any air time tonight? I can tape it later if it was. I emailed her earlier to thank her & ask some questions. Hope we -- and the world! -- get some answers.

[cyn]

never mind that, is just beginning -- I'll have to tape it.

[msmagoo]

Nothing on Greta - not even a mention. She spent time on Dean in Iowa, Scott Peterson, Zzzzzzzz.

Wonder if Ken Connor will be on tomorrow?

I would like to see Dr. Hammesfahr on Greta, too.
