It almost seems like Judge Greer, from the get-go, took an instant disliking of Terri's parents and an instant fascination or attraction or something for Mikey Shiavo. (I don't mean a crush.) After that, Mikey could do not wrong. Am I missing something here?
The only thing your instincts are missing is Judge Greer's absolute agreement with the arguments of George Felos, even to tiny tiny details such as denial of medical treatments for Terri (like denials of swallowing tests, and refusal to allow an eye exam and glasses for her blindness before she was asked by neurologists to "track" objects with her eyes))
A virtual rasputin effect.
One wonders if George Felos has mastered the Vulcan mind meld technique.
