Is David Boies (!) defending Terri's case? Is he actually agreeing with the Schindlers?

Talk about Twilight Zone . . .

Yes, it does appear that David Boies is on Terri's side!

Boies appears to be offering his opinions on how the Schindlers lawyer (Gibbs) should have written the appeals to the courts to get the justices to at least temporary reinstall Terri's feeding tube while he consider the merits of the case.

While it seems he is offering sympathy for the Schindler family, he probably is just trying to make Gibbs look like an inferior lawyer than himself.

I'm also struck by how much I agree with David Bois of all people. He's saying that they lost in Fed Court because they did not argue the legal case properly. They basically made a weak legal case but this time they argued for what Congress passed, a de novo review.

Unfortunately, although they sited new evidence that Terri is not in PVS, it wasn't clear whether they are also arguing the false conclusion that this was Terri's wishes.

I like Jay Secolov(?), but Bois seems to be a sharper, better lawyer. Too bad he's not working for the Schindlers.

It seems to me that the Schindlers have made their biggest mistake in their choice of legal reps and spokesman. Randall Terry is the wrong choice. Mr. Operation Rescue is a turn off to many that might be on our side. You do not have to be an absolute pro lifer to be for Terri. I am 100% in the Terri camp and am "moderately pro choice" as Condi would say. Randall Terry, although he has behaved very well, is all wrong. Much in the same way Alan Keyes would be.
