So...if when she was around 20 Terri had allegedly said to her alleged husband and his family "if i get in a vegetative state, please kill me by strangeling me to death" those wishes would be carried out by a state court? Seems to me that is what they are saying when they accept hearsay evidence allegedly said when someone was still young and immmature as fact. They are saying the hearsay testimony is as good as a legal written document...so why would anyone need that anymore, all they have to do is lie and have close family members back them up. Outrageous!

Heard tonight that when HER good friend tried to show in court that she DID NOT want to die, it was thrown out because court forgot that Karen Ann Quinlan lived for ten years after her life support was removed.

"At the 2000 trial, Greer, although initially finding Meyer's testimony 'believable,' concluded that the conversation could not have occurred in 1982, because he believed Quinlan died in 1976. At that time, Terri would have been only 11 or 12 years old and, therefore, would not have made her end-of-life wishes as an adult."

"The new motion contends it was Greer who was mistaken and not Meyer, because Quinlan did not die until 1985, about 9 years after her court case ended and her respirator was removed."

"None of the attorneys working on the Schiavo case in 2000 apparently noticed the mistake in dates, according to the Schindlers' attorney David Gibbs."
