In DC, are they reading Washington Post or USA Today? I'm wasn't awake enough to ask Hatch's aide where he saw that news about a week's reprieve that likely is untrue.
New twists arise for Schiavo

Excerpts from the report:
Richard LaBelle, a Dunedin attorney who works with the advocacy center, said the agency reviewed court files and other medical records that were readily available and presented them to a medical expert who said he needed to examine Terri Schiavo before deciding whether she had been mistreated.
LaBelle said the group needed Michael Schiavo's permission to examine his wife and didn't get it. LaBelle said he welcomed DCF's involvement in the case now.
"I think that as an advocate for persons with disabilities, I think any claims should be resolved before further action is taken," LaBelle said. "I think the line should be drawn in favor of pursuing a good faith investigation."

I'm glad you called Sen. Hatch, and sorry if a staffer gave out wrong information. However, pc93 found them seemingly aware of the case, and filled them in some more, so that is good and confirmed by your call.
FV, I really think this boils down to whether Greer is rational or completely in the grip of delusion. If rational, he will find some fig leaf to change his findings about Terri, or at the very least, stay her death pending the 60-day DCF investigation of abuse and neglect of Terri.
Because if Greer starves Terri, it will be on the word of Michael Schiavo. And Michael will be the prime subject of these abuse/neglect allegations. What will Greer say...that he can't wait 60 days to starve her on Michael's word, even though she has lived for 15 years???
I'm not flatout predicting he won't rule that way; I am saying if he does, that proves the man is DELUSIONAL.
