Almost is NOT good enough. That and $2.00 will get you on the Subway in NYC.
Yeah, they sure stood tall during the Elian Gonzales case.
Let's hear it for Florida officers doing their duty. F'n bastards!
PEOPLE v. ARCHERD (1970) 3 C3d 615
"...The lapse of time between the various offenses and the indictment of defendant on July 27, 1967, is considerable but is adequately explained by the record. The murder weapon in each case was unique, insulin. The deaths of each of these victims were initially attributed to causes other than a criminal agency. Suspicion of insulin and of defendant as the person administering the insulin was not aroused until the death of Zella in 1956. It was not until years later, after much painstaking and persistent investigation by law enforcement officers, and the discovery of advances made in {Page 3 Cal.3d 621} medical knowledge and techniques, that sufficient evidence could be accumulated to charge defendant with these deaths. Unfortunately, by then other of defendant's victims had lost their lives. This is the only known reported case of murder by insulin poisoning in the United States. Only one other, reported world-wide, occurred in England in 1956. ..."
"...Dr. Grace Fern Thomas, a psychiatrist and an expert in insulin shock therapy, and director of the insulin shock department at the time defendant was at Camarillo, testified as to the procedures on the ward. A precise dosage of insulin was measured for each person at a particular time. At a specific level that patient would go into shock in approximately two hours after the injection. Patients do not progress at the same level. Careful watch must be kept of the pulse, color, blood pressure, general condition, and neurological signs, such as pupillary changes and body motions. When a patient is going into progressive stages of coma he sweats very profusely and breathes very heavily. Saliva is secreted in large amounts, mucous flows freely and mixes with the saliva, and the patient must be carefully watched, turned, or assisted so that he does not aspirate the fluid into his lungs. Otherwise bronchopneumonia may develop, leading to death. The gag reflex and the cornea reflex are lost. Convulsions may occur, and medication is given to prevent this. The extremities may stiffen. At a relatively deep level of coma the Babinski test (scatching the sole of the foot in a certain manner) will cause a reflex known as the Babinski response (toes fan out). The patient must be brought out of the coma within 10-15 minutes thereafter. This is done by administering glucose through gastric tubes, and if this is not effective, glucose is administered intravenously to raise the blood sugar.
I'd be backing Bush today big-time if he'd have ordered his men in there and stopped this murder. Let's hear it for officers that facilitate murder!
This entire situation is a sad mess, top to bottom.
Then why doesn't Gov. Bush tell them "You work for me. You will not enforce that order. If you attempt to enforce that order, you will be placed on administrative leave pending termination for failure to follow my order"?
Whichever cop said that should be promptly charged with sedition.What's wrong with these cops down thare hell bent on murder. I guess once the south always the south.

WTH. Both Bush's are the executors here. They are the top executives in the US and Florida. They could order the local cops to move the hell out of the way if need be.
This woman is being starved to death and no matter what the circumstances that caused her collapse her so called husband is killing her!
And the left finally wins one!
Sick!
I hear someone tipped them off. Death worshippers everywhere...
I hope this shows that Jeb was serious. He only backed off to avert a state of FL civil war. Those who think Jeb was not going to act are wrong, he only backed off to avert a major firefight over Terri. I know some would still want that, but I think Jeb made the right call in the end.
I guess the judiciary has found a way to enforce their orders. Jeb Bush loses big if he stops at this.
Is anyone actually in charge down there? These agencys are suppose to work together to protect the welfare of the citizens of that State. WTF is going on?

The Pinellas City Poloce Dept and the County Sheriffs Dept. are as guilty of this Murder as the Judge, the 11th Curcuit Ct , the 11th Court of Appeals and the Supreme Ct.
They Sure A BRAVE bunch of hob nail booted Thugs.
Kind of reminds you of NAZI Germany in the 30's and 40's
If Bush lets this end here, his presidential chances in the future are dead. Conservatives do not respect wimps.
Damn! I am getting alot of reports of American Soldiers oversea in T.O.O. that want to return back to states, and _________. Mr. President, Delta Force & Sp.Forces ASAP!
Most of them probably would have been glad to step aside.
I would have loved to see each officer decide personally if Terri lives or dies by their own action.
My guess is that there would have been a miraculous wave of descent before any shooting occured.
