Quick and dirty summary: "Should have hired better attorneys"
These attorneys, IMNHO, intended to lose the case.
That was my fear. The nation's foremost "right-to-die" attorney represents Michael Schiavo. Where was the foremost "right-to-life" constitutional lawyer?
A lot of us with legal backgrounds have been saying the same thing, esentially, since the Schindler's attys first went to Federal court and clearly blew it.
Though I don't recall seeing anything in this detail on FR, it has been basically said here for almost a week - the Schindler's lawyers have done a ton of missteps. They are far more to blame for the situation Terri is in than Congress, Dubya, or Gov Bush.
Don't tell that to a lot of the more petulant Freepers though - they are in full blame mode. It's disconcerting to see that our side has as many immature foot stompers as the other side had back when Gore lost the 2000 election. An inability to cope is not the sole domain of either political party, of course.
Terri's parents are virtually broke.
Their counsel is with Christian Law Association.
