TERRI SCHIAVO DAILY MARCH 2005 PART 4, DAY 5 OF HER DEHYDRATION -- PLEASE HANG ON WITH US

Various | 3-23-05

[STARWISE]

Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.

[DJ MacWoW]

Try Googling death by dehydration.

[AndyJackson]

Gibbs had stale pleadings based on something other than de novo

It is not the pleadings that needed to be de novo, but under the act, the finding of fact. I cannot believe that you have also sucumbed to the logical error that Whittmore is guilty of.

[LegalEagle61]

we're all very tired, LegalEagle....very tired.



I hear ya....but we are all still here, so i think God is giving us strength, so remember if we have it, Terri will too

[reaganaut]

night.

[valleygal]

I was thinking the same as all of you but figured I'd end up shot. I have dreams of being a super hero, too. It's not just the guys that think these things.

"Can't you imagine the HORROR that Michael would feel if Terri was given the best rehab and regained her speech!!"

Especially if she told us what really happened 15 years ago.

[Zivasmate]

Here is the bottom line, as I see it:

As Freepers, can we do anything collectively, and there are alot of us, to overturn this process? eg. petitions, emails and to who?

[supercat]

Can't you imagine the HORROR that Michael would feel if Terri was given the best rehab and regained her speech!! Not only what happened to her that awful night, but that SHE NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO HIM ABOUT TAKING HER OFF FEEDING TUBES, ETC.!!! Can you imagine what would happen? No wonder he is frantic to be sure she dies!!

Verse 2 of my song again seems applicable (excerpt):

It's clear Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and Judge Greer
Are fighting with all their might
Not because Terri won't speak up,
But rather because she might.

Yeah, everybody around here is a legal numbskull but you.

[Future Useless Eater]

>>The error that Whittmore made, and that his sympathisers are repeating is a circular argument - presuming that since Gibbs argued nothing new, the case had already been decided. But, if the law requires that the case be retried, then Whittmore cannot base his decision on the findings of fact of the previous court hearing.

Thank you! What Whittmore wrote made little sense. This makes MUCH more sense.

I agree...

Yes; God will never forsake Terri. I know that. He will always be with her, comforting her. I know that, too.

[oreolady]

No, the morphine is given for pain, for grand mal seizures, a sedative is given, usually valium.
I had to give it to someone terminal who had seizures, orally, in drops, usually instant stoppage of seizures.

[Freepertwo]

LOL! I wonder, if she gets through this (Please Lord) if she'll be shocked she's got a huge fan club! :-D 5 million best girlfriends and guyfriends.

[mjtobias]

Good night.

I need another mug of coffee because I aint closing the lid on things for the night.

[AndyJackson]

As I said, Whitmore's opinion is circular. His judgment is based on the trial court findings which the law required him to set aside.

[Future Useless Eater]

great handle you've got too. I wish the president or governor would treat these courts the same way Andrew Jackson did!

[STARWISE]

From the impression I got, Felos was encouraging the three judge panel in the 11th to take their time .. as in they wanted 8 hours AFTER the opinion was reached for something else .. which I can't recall.

[nicmarlo]

I've thought of that, myself!

[Torie]

You may not like it, but pleadings matter. That is what the judge adverts from in deciding what is in controversy, and upon what he decides the likihood of prevailing when considering a motion for a preliminary injunction. The practice of law is not a touchie feelie thing. Sometimes noisome little details matter. It is why lawyers are paid the big bucks to attend to them. It is possible that the 11th circuit will look past this all, but unlikely. Then maybe Gibbs will rush to amend his complaint, depending on how the the denial is framed. Meanwhile Terri continues to move along the path to a final exit.
