There are so many lies and mistruths around here, some of you actually start to believe them.

FairOpinion - after he got $1M for her care, then he suddenly remembered that she didn't want to be kept alive.

Why don't you look at the time line and ACTUALLY read the courts rulings. It's honorable to try and keep Teri alive. But you lose credibility when you lie like a bunch of liberals to make your point. There are so many mistruths in these threads, it's impossible to respond to them all. It's embarrassing. Someone could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge.

Original Court Order: - FEB 2000 [case was filed 5 and one-half years after the $1M was received. And according to the court - By all accounts Mr. Schiavo has been very motivated in pursuing the best medical care for his wife [through 2000].

Those monies [the $1M] were received in Feb 1993. …. On Feb 14, 1993 this amicable relationship between the parties [Schiavo and Schindlers] was severed. ….. The parties have literally not spoken since that date. …… The record before this court discloses that should the Schindlers prevail, their stated hope is that Mr. Schiavo would divorce their daughter , they would be appointed guardians or Terri and become her heirs at law. ……….. neither side is exempt from finger pointing as to possible conflicts of interest in this case.

By all accounts Mr. Schiavo has been very motivated in pursuing the best medical care for his wife.

[cajun scpo] Disagree with the ruling. Make the argument President Bush did. When there is conflict, err on the side of life. My guess is Terri 'supporters' have pushed the many of the 58% in the Jacksonville poll to respond with 'pull the feeding tube' with the nonsense and lies floating around about her husband. And the way some talk about Judge Greer. It's disgusting. Disagree. But you don't know him.

"Are you related to (Josef) Mengele, or just a student?" one man wrote, referring to the ruthless Nazi doctor.

Deputies who fear for his safety escort him to and from work.

That's life these days for Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George W. Greer,

"The really difficult part of this job," Greer said, "is that you can't defend yourself." The world knows so much about Schiavo's life, but little about the 63-year-old Greer. ........... And Greer, vilified by many religious protesters, is a church regular. He also is a conservative Republican in a state whose conservative Republican governor tried to overturn one of Greer's orders.

"George is the religious right," said lawyer David Kurland, a longtime friend.

Friends say Greer's intellect is perfectly formed to withstand the very tempest he now faces. Always calm, not prone to mood swings or flares of temper, unerringly polite, he is not easily ruffled, they say.

But the criticisms sting, friends say. His relationship with his church, for example, has changed.

Greer:

"the difficult part of the job is that you can't defend yourself"
There is no defense for the suffering you have inflicted on a helpless disabled woman and her family. You have never once acted to help Terri, not once, You have never once acted on the side of life. You have been all about death.

Terri's family, her attorney, her brother, sister, mom, dad go and visit here everyday, they see she smiles, follows them with her eyes, responds to them, they KNOW that she is not in a persistent vegetative state. They have doctors, neurologists who state just from photo's that she appears to NOT be PVS, and at the very least should be tested again. But you DENY the tests. Advances have been made in technology, but you deny. You have sent police to block her priest from giving her Last Rites communion. You have allowed her husband to keep her isolated, and deny her basic care. Her parents have been prevented from seeing THEIR OWN DAUGHTER, THEIR OWN LITTLE GIRL, THAT THEY RAISED FROM A BABY, because of you.

Here she is disabled, and you have denied them visitation with her, you let her adulterous husband bully and threaten them. Terri has had to suffer through untreated infections i.e. Urinary Tract infections, painful, because of you. Her family has gotten in trouble and threatened with denied visitation for something as simple as trying to play a CD of Terri's music for her. Why won't you let Terri be filmed or have visitors or go out in the sunshine? Even death row inmates get to go outside, but not Terri.

Evidence has been presented that Terri's marriage was in trouble before the collapse, she wanted a divorce, but you won't schedule a hearing about whether her husband should still be her guardian.

You made an error in throwing out testimony that Terri did not have a death wish, but again you deny and order her death by a method that couldn't be used on a dog or a serial killer. You expect her parents to just sit there and watch? Do you have children judge? What did you think they were going to do, Terri is their daughter. They have known her for 41 years, many more than the 5 years she was married to her adulterous husband.

You allowed money that was supposed to be for Terri's therapy to go to Felos to facilitate her death.

The only opinion I can have of you, based on your actions, is that you are a monster.

I hope that when you are infirm, that you will be treated with the same "mercy" that you have shown Terri and her family.

You have not "changed your relationship" with your church. You have turned away from God and chosen the path of darkness. I pray for your immortal soul that you turn back from this path and seek the Light of the Lord. Amen

You need to get your facts straight.
