You know exactly what I'm trying to say here. No sh*t there's no crime scene. I wasn't suggesting that there was a crime scene. I was using that as an example to show that judges on a regular basis go to look at the source of whatever has brought the two parties before him or her in court.
There was nothing to stop this judge from going to the Hospice himself to see Terri with his own eyes.
But God forbid he might do that and put a "face" on this person he's sentened to death.
And then he might find out too that one of his contributors to his campaign lied to him about the state of his clients wife.
Can't have that happen now can we? Can't do anything to cut off the campaign cash can we?
In our ignorance we will see a person opening and closing eyes, moaning, making sounds, and then think she can't be in a PVS - all the Hollywood movies I ever show makes it seem they just lay there - in actuality that is exactly how PSV victims react. The judge going there or any other layman going there would be meaningless and misleading - he had a medical team go there for the court and that is the best thing for this type of thing.
