The judge heard testimony from two others besides Michael. The judge had "clear and convincing" evidence as to Terri's wishes. This is not a euthanasia case, no matter how much you want it to be.

The fact is all this "testimony" was from Michaels side. Why is it that Greer only believed Micheal's side - and discounted Terri's best friend who said just the opposite. No matter how you slice this it still comes out as a lopsided verdict, Greer only believed one side and just because Greer says so does not make it right - it only made it LEGAL.

Only two people testified for Terri's "side". Her mother, who admitted under cross examination that she was wrong about the date, and her friend, Diane, whose testimony was shown to be in error regarding the date.

On the other hand, the judge found the testimony from her husband, Michael, his brother, Scott, and her best friend, Joan, to be "clear and convincing" evidence as to what Terri wanted.
