There is one little problem with the pardon situation. Terry has not committed a crime.Only criminals can be pardoned from punishment.

Under the law what is happening to Terry is not punishment. She has not committed a crime.

Terry is under the control of a guardian. Here guardian is her husband. No President or Govenror has the power to appoint or remove a guardian. Only Judges can do that. No president or Govenor has the power to overrule the decision of a guardian. Only the courts have the power to remove or over turn the decision of a guardian.

Her husband got the courts to give him the power kill her. He is exercising that power.

A pardon has no meaning in this case. One can't pardon someone who has never been convicted of a crime.

When our nation was founded the power over our lives were put into the hands of the judges. That is how our nation works. You may not like it, but kings and dictators have always had control over subjects life and death. The one thing our founders demanded was that our constitution not give the power of life and death to the president or any governor.
