Well, thanks. I expect to be vilified in no uncertain terms very shortly. Thus it goes.
You won't be vilified but I just wanted to point out to you that you are right that we a nation of laws.
Supposed to be.
There are specific laws and statutes that HINO was supposed to follow and didn't and when it was brought to the attention of the court, Greer said oh well.
There are laws prohibiting a judge from declaring himself Terri's guardian ad litem, ignored.
I could go on and on....
After reading Judge Whitmore's decision, I truly believe the person who failed here is the Schindler's attorney. Why didn't he introduce new evidence at the hearing. Whitmore even comments on that fact. For example, everyone has complained that Judge Greer never met with Terri. Couldn't Gibbs have called her as a witness? It may have failed, but it would have at least raised the issue a bit more.
