Are you okay with a civil case that results in the death penalty for an innocent person who was not allowed any representation?

Isn't that a leading (and mis-leading) question.

Your hysterical hyperbole aside, this wasn't a "death penalty" case. The court ruled that there was clear and convincing evidence, based upon the testimony of MS and others, that TS would not have wanted to live like this, and would have elected to forego continued use of the feeding tube. This ruling was in line with Florida statutory law and caselaw, and was upheld at every level of the state and federal judiciary.

And TS had plenty of representation, including no less than three guardians ad litem, and attorneys representing the interests of the Schindlers. I doubt that any similar case has ever been so heavily adjudicated.

BB continues the fine tradition of misstating and misrepresenting the position of anyone who doesn't march, lockstep, with what she perceives as truth, despite all evidence to the contrary. "Disingenuous" doesn't even begin to describe what's happening here.

Come on, get real! The ONLY Judge that found on the Evidence was legally blind. He dismissed all Evidence submitted by the Schindlers, he dismissed the Guardians ad litem when they agreed with the parents, he supported the HINO without examining Terri, he ordered that she be maintained in a Hospice for the terminally ill with six months to live or less and she was there seven years , ad nauseam. The Schindlers had one lawyer pro bono while the Judge ordered that Terri's Rehabilatation funds in trust be
used for the legal fees to order her death. Wow, a sad day for Justice!
