I see it as you do.
Had the FL law not been amended to let spouses do this on hearsay, Terri would have lived, but the changed the law to allow Michael Schiavo to use this method to kill her.
The FL legislature has Terri's blood on its hands, too.
Only the Executive branch is clean. We couldn't have a shootout. I wonder if the sheriff's could have been ordered to stand down by the state police, or perhaps they could have been deputized into the state police, but I'm sure how the FL law enforcement structure is set up.
Meant to say I'm "not sure" how the FL police/sheriff system is set up.
