Apparently headed for judgeships in the same circuit court system that caused her death.
Richard Pearse, Clearwater attorney, was appointed as the disabled woman's guardian ad litem. He filed his report with the court in December, 1998, urging that the court deny the petition to remove Terri's feeding tube.
He also recommended to Pinellas County Court judge George Greer that a guardian ad litem be appointed to protect her interests and indicated he did not believe Michael Schiavo and his sudden recollection that Terri would not want to live by a feeding tube.

PINELLAS COUNTY--A key player in the Terri Schiavo right-to-life case, heard in the Pinellas County courtroom of Sixth Judicial Circuit Court Judge George W. Greer, will now be sitting on the bench in that same courthouse, having been appointed to a new judgeship earlier this month by Gov. Jeb Bush.
John Carassas , 39, of Palm Harbor, who was serving as a deputy to Attorney General Charlie Crist, was the former state representative from House District 54 from 2000-2003, a seat now held by former Pinellas County Sheriff Everett Rice (R-Treasure Island) who is now seeking the office of attorney general. District 54 covers parts of Belleair, Largo, Clearwater and St. Petersburg as well as the Pinellas beaches.
