Him getting one of his relatives to parrot such alleged comments isn't exactly "clear and convincing" evidence.

Obviously, opinions will vary. Judges are not simple law-dispensing machines, they're humans, and they will tend to make decisions that we disagree with from time to time. That is not, in my opinion, evidence that the system is fundamentally broken, it is merely an illustration of the limits of the system. Judges travel within the parameters that we set for them, via the legislature. The narrower the parameters we set, the less likely they are to wander afield. If you're the Florida dopes, on the other hand, and you leave great gaping truck-sized holes in the law, it should hardly be surprising if judges occasionally drive right through one of those holes. The dopes would like you to blame judges for that, but that's like blaming the rain for the fact that your stuff's all wet, when you didn't bother to patch the roof.

I'm sorry, but "clear and convincing evidence" should consist of a bit more than comments that are little more than hearsay, and not even believable ones at that. Using this judge's logic, we'd all better be careful on even making throwaway comments, like "I wanted to die" after seeing something bad, because such flimsy evidence will be our own death sentences. And that has nothing to do with the law, but the judge.

One other thing -- aren't you the least bit curious as to Michael Schiavo waited until *after* winning the malpractice suits against the doctors to tell a judge about Terri's wish to die? He constantly says that he is merely fulfilling her wishes, yet he waited a good eight years before actually attempting to act on her alleged wish.

"Judges travel within the parameters that we set for them, via the legislature."

Most have not done that lately. Where have you been? Most judges lately have been making their own rules as they go along and the legislature be ......
