absolutely true.
However, is the law allowing euthansia retroactive? As I recall, Terri was injured quite a few years before the law was legalized. Michael said many things in a court of law in the malpractice trial, then changed his mind once the law was enacted. On t.v., he has publicly said that he doesn't like his father-in-law and that's the reason he won't give in and let the family care for her.
Judge Greer, yoo hoo.
Don't go 'way.
I ain't going anywhere. But if I was a moderator, everyone else would be. And that's why I'm not a mod. :^)
I hear you.
Enough about me. Back to Terri.
When her sick puke of a homocidal husband goes to meet the divine Judge, she will be there as witness to what he did to her. There is no escaping THAT justice.
"On t.v., he has publicly said that he (Michael) doesn't like his father-in-law and that's the reason he won't give in and let the family care for her."
Wow!! It sounds like on top of everything else, Michael is REVENGEFUL.
If he said right on tv that "that's the reason," it seems that the tv clip of Michael saying that should be presented in a Court of Law.
Florida does not have a law (yet) permitting euthanasia, voluntary or otherwise. This case is setting precedent for just that sort of thing.
I left for a few hours tonight and come back before going to bed and find out things have been going on around here tonight. I've got to catch up now.
What's this about Alan Keyes daughter? This is news to me? I haven't been following Alan like I used too. Alan Keyes is against civil unions and gay marriages too. At least he was when he ran for the Senate in November.
Right. O.K. if this law allowing Terri to be murdered was not in effect in 1990, or whatever year, how can it be legal now?
That is the part of this case that bothers me the most. The husband, and the fact that he has many potential motives for wanting Terri dead. If she were to be found strangled in her hospital bed, he would be the lead suspect. But because the state would be doing the killing for him, none of the motives apparently come into play. That's just plain whacked.
Scoop1 has been banned!
But maybe they have and I don't know.
Unfortunately, SCOTUS has hamstrung ex post facto arguments recently. I hear you, though.
I thought they did have such a law. That makes it even worse. Why don't the Schnindlers attorneys demand proof that the state has the right to murder her?
The court (Judge Greer) continues to rule that this is Terri's wish, based on the hearsay evidence of her husband, his brother, and his sister-in-law. He doesn't consider this murder, and he doesn't consider it assisted suicide. Go figure!
Jeb should know that.
But everyone on these threads knows that. Still, it is motive - MOTIVE!
Absolutely! He's got motive and opportunity, and now the means. It's been a crime in the making for a very long time. It even has judicial approval. Why the court can't see it for the attempted murder that it is is beyond me. How does one go about charging a man with attempted murder in a place where his concubine's mother worked for the sheriff before her death six months ago? How can we get the system to work for Terri? What the hell are we doing wrong that this seems to have no reversal?
