The 2nd District Court did what they claimed was virtually a de novo review. Salient point being that all they did was review the evidence Greer allowed in, sealing Terri's fate. The flawed ruling has never been revisited because, by law, it can't be unless another court takes jurisdiction and has a new discovery phase, in effect, a whole new trial. You can't have a whole new trial unless new evidence comes to light, and the testimony of her friends in family wouldn't be considered new, because Greer already heard it, and threw it out.

Yet another reason my tagline becomes more true with every passing moment.

So it WASN'T ACTUALLY a de novo review. Just looked at the same stuff. So, new affadavits submitted by nurses, doc?

Forgive me if I am slow, don't really know much about the law, but I think I better start learning.

Utterly amazing.
