They snuck the tape camera in. The tape they show is old.

The ban on canreas in her room IS a fact.

I am unaware of the tape about her trying to speak. What I heard reported on CNN today was that it was wittnessed by one of the lawers for the Schindlers and one of the nurses.

But the ban on her family taking a camcorder in the room is a fact and I had not heard about any video recording of her trying to speak.

re: The ban on canreas in her room IS a fact

You are correct. The family has to undergo a pretty thorough search before entering her room (on those occasions that Terri's loving husband says it's OK for them to visit her) and cell phones are prohibited in the room too, probably for fear they are the type that take pictures. Remember the episode a few years back when the devoted husband thought he found puncture wounds on his wife following a visit by the family and had the judge keep them from visiting for almost a year? All these facts are exactly why the US Congress passed a law permitting a complete new hearing of the case before a federal judge. The only problem was they used the term 'may' instead of 'shall' for fear of offending the judiciary. There are no words to describe the contempt I have for every judge, state and federal, who has ever been involved in this case. It seems like most judges check their humanity and the milk of human kindness when they don their black robes and ascend to their throne. There have been at least a hundred times over the years when a judge could have exercised the discretion allowed a judge by law and helped Terri, but none ever has. I have great faith in God and am convinced that nothing ever happens 'by chance.' I am convinced that Terri's suffering is serving the very noble purpose of exposing the pitiful state to which our judiciary has slipped over the years.
