I just did a little internet research in the Florida courts and Greer is assigned to the probate division. So that would make him a probate judge.

OK. So now you don't have to doubt strongly the assertion by some that he is a probate judge. Unless I misunderstood the exchange at 250 / 233.

Apparently he's not even a state judge -- he's only a County probate judge!

I've seen that assertion here at FR and doubt it strongly.

I was kind of hoping Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton would show up in Fla with their rent=a-mobs. Jessee is on Terri's side.

Wouldn't that complicate things.

And to think he can kill at the snap of the fingers.

If the label is being used as a weapon, which it is, then it's relevant whether Greer, a judge assigned to the Probate Division, was a proper judge to hear this case.

Would you agree with that?

I don't see a "Guardian Division" in the Florida system. Unless my research was faulty, there isn't a category of judges called "Guardian judge." If you have information that corrects that, I'd happily receive it.

So unless I find further information that Greer wasn't a proper judge to hear this case, I have to conclude that the label put upon him is perhaps accurate in administrative terms only and that the implication that he is a judge acting out of jurisdiction or expertise is spin.
