Thanks for your replies. What I don't understand is why Demers and Greer would be pictured in a banner that seems to celebrate the age of the company. Were they partners or employees, I wonder? Is that really even them? I did a little bit of looking around and it appears that there were originally six principals of that law firm: Johnson, Blakely, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel and Burns. It would make more sense if that were a picture of them. If anyone has any more information that can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.

I doubt there's any mystery. They were looking for fetching photos of the founding partners of the firm from 30 years ago. This one photo showed most of the partners in a friendly light from the days when they founded their firm. It's a plus for them to have Greer and Demers in the shot. One partner obviously wasn't present for the other photo, so they used a different shot of him.

While we're at it, I simply punched the first three names of the law firm into Google. Hit #2 was the law firm. Hits 3 & 4 start mentioning....... scientology. Well, now! Hit 3 link is below. Is it not a little strange that if you google three members of a certain law firm, you reel in George Greer, cronyism and echoes of the horrible case of Lisa McPherson?

Scientology, The Clearwater Bar Association, and Judge Greer

I never heard of this group, so until we know more, let's start by taking their info with the usual grain of salt. However, on a quick reading, it seems in accord with other information we've seen.

I should have added, the bxw photo must have been some photo of buddies, maybe from law school days. Those shown are not all associated with the law firm. On the caption, it says, "At the time the photo was taken, Johnson, Blakely, Bokor and Pope were partners in the law firm now known as Johnson, Pope, Bokor, Ruppel and Burns."

Demers and Greer pursued different careers. I doubt that they have ever had a connection with the law firm except for being buddy-buddy with the partners.

What we really see here is the cronyism. Demers court upholding Greer death rulings. Tim Johnson presenting Greer with that bar association award for executing Terri.

www.northcountrygazette.org has a little info on the law firm in the banner. Remember that Greer was a real estate lawyer, then zoning commissioner before he became a guardianship/probate judge which he admitted back in 93 he knew nothing about (except to pass the bar exam).

He treated Terri like a piece of condemned land, not like a human being.
