"The only chance of a legal win is to argue for a de novo review based on conflicting and new evidence that she is not in PVS and that her wish "to die this way " was not proven."

Several lawyers, including dershowitz said this would be the arguement so I think he did right...let's not blame him, if we lose again, I think we'd lose even if we had the best attorney that ever lived, they are doing this on purpose..a circus..a show..

I think you meant to address me. That was my statement not Theodore's.

Dershowitz and Bois both said this and I agree. Problem is this is not what Gibbs did the first time in Fed Court. He made a weak legal argument not based on this. I thought that this would be his argument now but after hearing him on Greta it was not. He was arguing Terri's constitutional right to life. Not a winner.

If we lost with the best attorney that would be one thing. If we lose with an inferior Gibbs we will never really know if the right legal argument stood a chance.
