The law specifies the rules of admitting hearsay evidence. All of the admissible evidence indicated she would not want to be euthanized, ever, under any circumstances. The law also specifies that there are several conditions that must be met before a judge can determine that the feeding tube is to be removed. Most of those conditiions were not met, including the one about clear and convincing evidence. Even if you don't throw out the inadmissible evidence that Judge Greer wrongly allowed, they still didn't meet the threshhold for clear and convincing evidence. Any way you cut it, the rules of evidence were not followed, and Terri was killed illegally.

And do you consider the evidence in question to have been hearsay?
