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.
sorry, that post was incomplete. I don't know what happened. Was supposed to say...
No new affadavits submitted by the nurses and Dr.'s was taken into account or at the very least, reviewed.
They looked at the videos 'through the eyes of educated laymen', and read the testimony of Doctor Cranford (Hemlock Society member)and one other who said she was PVS, and one doctor who said she wasn't. Our black-robed executioners believed the guy from the Hemlock Society.
The nurses affidavits were never seen by the 2nd, because Greer never admitted their statements into evidence. Why? Because the Hemlock Society doctor told Greer that Terri couldn't swallow. Greer took him at his word, called the nurses liars, and threw out the statements.
Terri never had a chance.
