Probate courts don't have jury trials; those are for civil cases

When they start deciding to issue orders to kill they damn sure ought to have a jury.

Or the judges need to be told in no uncertain terms that such orders are totally out of bounds. Remember - Greer went beyond legitimizing a decision by the Guardian. He ORDERED the Guardian to do it. Big difference. He was completely outside of any rational limit to his authority.

But hey, Greer thinks he's a big man. County judge an' all. Beats being a lousy real estate lawyer. Hey, lookit me, I'm God!

Indeed, had Greer ordered that the guardian should only allow such food and water by mouth as the guardian deemed would pose no risk of aspiration, and had the guardian 'just so happened' to decide that anything would pose a risk, that might have been kinda sorta legal. But Greer's order should be regarded as having been prima facie illegal. If Florida used the gallows for execution, I'd say Greer should be a hanging judge for having issued it.
