One of the tragedies in this whole case is that EVERY SINGLE PETITION, from requesting any sort of relief or tests, from to divorce to the admission of testimony, is decided by Judge "I Am God" Greer, who has on every single issue ruled FOR Michael and AGAINST Terri (some guardian, huh?). From what I read yesterday, I think the Schindlers have had a petition on file before Greer's court for over two years requesting divorce for Terri based on Michael's adultery, but Greer has yet to act on the petition. And they can't appeal until he acts. It's an enormous Catch-22 in which they're entangled.

This is another area of Florida law which needs to be changed, the notion that one single judge has lone powers of determining what is or is not fact, what is or is not admissable, and what is or is not acted upon, even with overwhelming evidence of misconduct. (He's his own judge in that instance, too. Greer the Almighty gets to decide if complaints against his bias, which must be filed with him, have any merit.)

There's a lot of work cut out for the Floridians to get their safeguards into law...and whereever we live, we need to double check and see if Terri's situation could happen where WE live...and work to see that it doesn't!
