Mikey's brother was on Larry King a couple of nights ago saying that he is the one that told Mikey that Terri said she would not want to live. THAT certainly is hearsay if that was Mikey's testimony.

The judge largely dismissed the testimony of Michael regarding Terri's alledged wishes. The appointed Guardian Ad Litem (who at that time was not Judge Greer, but a guy named Pearse) informed the judge that Michael's testimony was conflicted and did not "rise to the level of Clear and Convincing". The judge also ruled out Mrs. Schindler and Diane Meyer's testimony because the judge chose to not believe the time frame that the statments were made. That left just Scott and Joan Schiavo, who the judge said had no conflicts and no reason to disbelieve their stories. I think that he was wrong in that regard. Everything hinged on the testimony of just Scott and Joan.

This is incredible. The judge threw out testimony that should have been included but for his mistake, and then allows the person whose testimony was conflicted and largely dismissed as you say, to make the ultimate choice for Terri.

I can't believe it. She's being put to death on the word of two in-laws, and the word of her mother and the other lady counted for nothing, though it should have.
