Personally I think that his nursing studies were a good story to get a bigger award in damages.
Once anurse with the award in his pocket,he may well have come upon the plan to do that.
I believe there is the affidavit of the nurse that found an insulin syringe in the wastebasket of Terri's room,an injection marks on her body and Terri very lethargic and sweaty. She reported it to the police and was fired promptly.
Why the police did not investigat further is beyond me but the way this is playing out,this is very unsettling.
No, we don't. You are forgeting that the legislative branch could simply eliminate that court if they wanted to do so. And I think this is more of a case of a "Bad Law", which ties everyone up until the legislature fixes it.
You do not know what would have happened. You have a situation where everyone is armed and tempers are short and emotion is high. Also the Pinellas Police have a huge stake in continuing the coverup. They do not want to lose their sixty grand a year plus benefits for disobeying Felos-Greer-Rice-Michael Schiavo's orders. One gun misfire could have caused mayhem.
BTW (by the way), you did just fine with your post. Hang around and you will soon learn all the tricks. Free Republic is one of the few places where conservatives can really speak their minds. Of course that is why it is sometimes messy, but most of the time we manage to pull together and get things done. Keep remembering that God is in control. Who knows what Terri's death will accomplish? I strongly suspect that it will change a lot of things. And those who killed her will answer to God.
Greer allegedly raised one of the biggest war chests ever in a judicial campaign with contributions over $144,000.
The contributors included members of the Michael Schiavo legal team, Hamden Baskin III, $500; Deborah Bushnell, $250; Felos and Felos of which lead Schiavo attorney George Felos is a principal, $250; Gynethe S. Stanley, $150 and $250; Steven Nilsson, $250 and $250.
The maximum contribution allowed by an individual is $500.
Felos is also the former chairman of the board of the Hospice of Florida Suncoast, owners and operators of the Woodside Hospice where Terri resides although not in a terminal illness—not terminal except by the judicial homicide decree of Judge Greer. Felos resigned his position after he and Michael Schiavo were successful several years ago in having her moved there. Although the recipient of over $1.5 million from medical malpractice claims including $750,000 earmarked for the rehabilitation of his wife, Michael Schiavo asked Greer to place Terri on Medicaid and Greer approved. Schiavo and his fiancé each drive Mercedes sedans and reside in an above average home with their two children.
Also contributing to keep Greer in office and on the Schiavo case were Kay Dillinger, $250, wife of Bob Dillinger, the Pinellas County public defender who allegedly violated state statutes by allowing employees of his office, assistant Paula Shea, and the prestige of the office to be used in Greer’s campaign in Greer’s political TV commercial; James Hellickson, $150, assistant state attorney from the office of Bernie McCabe, state attorney of Pasco/Pinellas Counties who has stonewalled any investigation of alleged criminal wrongdoing in the Schiavo case including the DCF investigation;
"I agree. There should be enough to put a halt to this."
There is - for a person of courage. I wish (PRAY) there was someone who had that attribute.
I am sickened.

Yes, admission K level was 2.something. Exogenous Insulin in large dose causes decrease in K level too.
Nope, Judge Greer would issue an injunction against his court being eliminated, and that would be the end of that.
You are welcome. Sometimes when we are angry we lash out at our nearest and dearest because we hope and expect they will save us. Many of us have done LESS than Governor Bush - we are just all haertsick at our impotence. And this situation reminds us rudely of how astray our country has gone. The flip side of which is we asked to be God's hands, NOW we have our assignment.
I disagree with you. I know Randy personally and you have painted a wrong picture of him.
I've been battling old Solomon all night with his holier than thou attitude.....he seems to just want to "chuck" the law for some reason.......
Jeb Bush just fumbled this ... he should have never held the press conference ... he was asking for the judge to tell him not to do something.
Re: 368,
I just hope you brought plenty of popcorn, cos' it isn't going to end with Terri's demise. Wait until the battle over her remains begins...
Aside from that, my greatest fear is that some instigators will infiltrate the crowd outside the hospice, and with insuing violence, Jeb has to call out the NG...
Another freeper pointed out that insulin overdose can cause potassium deficiency (hypokalemia). We've heard that the initial cause of Terri's heart failure was potassium, which has been explained by bulemia.
I have been cross-posting a snippet of a court case where the murder weapon used was insulin in the hopes that some medical experts would think this out some more.
Did you know in FL, if an attorney contributes to certain campaigns they get "in kind" reciprical work via court appointed cases?
Contribute $500 to Judge X and you will get a court appointed case to cover the contribution and at least and additional one as a "thank you."
What about the Thomas Moore Law Center that Jeb requested guidance on this issue? They wrote him back and provided evidence that he did have the authority.
