Stop the spin with the 19 judges,everybody here knows that the appellate judges did not retry the facts.

Ah, but they do review the appellate transcript of testimony on appeal to insure that every element of the holdings of the trial court are supported by some evidence in the record. What they don't do is reweigh it. What they do do is make sure there is some evidence to support every element of the conclusion. Done quite a few of those puppies in my time.

A vested interest does not have to be monetary,by the way.(how pedestrian). Maybe you're really a right to die right to kill proponent.

Oh, I see what you mean. I am 'vested' with my belief in the correctness of the decision. I thought you meant 'vested' as in 'endow with particular property'. I feel better now.

What am i saying... you are.

That one went right by me.

Greer is a sadist, no one can dictate such living conditions as he has imposed on that poor woman. And all the world is starting to find out how far Greer and Schiavo have conspired to cause grievous injury to Terri.

Right. Check the mirror though. Your tinfoil hat is slightly askew.

You are a right to die and kill advocate.All your posts are evidence of that.And there is no tin foil here.All the orders that have deprived Terri of any kind of comfort in life demonstrate their collusion.
And you are strangely silent on providing all of us with an explanation for these cruel rulings.
De novo trial was ordered,why do you think?
Is that also going over your head?

A federal de novo review will likely affirm the Florida trial court, since a virtual de novo review of all the facts has already conducted by the state appellate court.

According to the Wolfson Report, (page 19) provided to Governor Jeb Bush by court-appointed guardian Jay Wolfson, the Florida appellate court conducted a virtual de novo review of all the facts of this case in June 2003:

The 2nd DCA [District Court of Appeals] panel of judges engaged in what approximated a de novo review of all the facts, testimony, and video tapes presented at the trial. The appellate court affirmed the trial court’s ruling and its conclusion, and in addition, ordered the trial court to set a hearing date for the removal of the artificial life support.
