Does that mean they have to ask Greer in the end ot keep Terri in protectice custody or another Judge? Doesn't this fall in the Family law court?

A local radio station announced that the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement told Judge Greer that they will not intervene by placing Terri in protective custody.

That's something I was trying to find out. I think, well what I really think might sound crazy, but I think Florida law has long been nudged into alignment to have someone like Terri killed to enact the will of evil.

That aside, from what I've read so far, I think the adult protection cases may fall into, guess where, probate court. I don't know how, but it seems to as I list from the sixth circuit court information page. I just don't know if it would go to a different judge if Greer is implicated. I don't know how he couldn't be, or how the law would allow a judge to preside over himself.
