You apparently do not understand the legal distinction between 'hearsay' and 'testimony'. 'Hearsay' is, "John told me that Jim said X". 'Testimony' is, "I personally heard Jim say X". What MS and the corroborating witnesses told the court was not hearsay.
the procedures of the lower court were upheld, not necessarily the lower-court opinion that Terri truly wanted to die.
Of course, that's what appeals courts do. It was ruled on appeal that Greer did not abuse his discretion.
I have said a million times that hearsay is an English word that means anything coming from the mouths of any1 BUT the 1st party. I've also shown I KNOW about the (silly) legal definition which extends it to 2nd parties. Hence my ref's to "English" and here, "real life".
Just cuz I tell you my cube-mate told me he got a bonus at work, doesn't make it so that he actually said this. My "testimony" in court is hearsay in real life.
"What MS and the corroborating witnesses told the court was not hearsay." Following your own examples, what an amazing, bold act of dissembling! You are so adept!
