There is also a second case in Texas right now that hasn't gotten as much attention involving a Vietnamese woman named Yenlang Vo, in Austin, TX.
From post #2,776. With her capable attorney and in the aftermath of what happens when they mess with freepers, she might have a safer path now. Will keep watch.
Good thinking! That makes sense.
As a general rule of secrecy, anything witnessed by more than one person is public. If not immediately, someday.
Now, that is interesting. But note that (as far as I can tell, anyway) it wasn't a de novo hearing, it was a hearing whether they WOULD rehear the case de novo. Answer: no, with a long intentional delay {giggle, giggle}.
Yes, it was! I'll see if I can find it... I think the professor was at a Texas university.
The contingent was not large, also sort of all sworn by blood oath, I suspect. In their minds, they could have felt like kindred. I hope one of them does blow the cover if that is the case, especially if money is to be made in the deal.
It was so important they forcibly kept outsiders away to be locked in secret with their victim. I really still think it was an occult ritual.
So happy to hear the great news about Andrea Clark!!!!!
Another reminder about Ms. Vo.
Here's a case where the patient's daughter is a doctor, so knows better than the rest of us:
Ms. Vo is in her 60's. She is a patient at St. David's North Austin Medical Center here in Austin, Texas. She has been diagnosed with persistent vegetative state--but that is disputed by the family.
Ms. Vo's daugher, Loann Trihn, is an emergency room doctor and she disputes the diagnosis. Such a diagnosis is very subjective and involves clinical assessments. Dr. Trihn and her father have both witnessed her mother being responsive.
LifeNews reports the latest:
North Austin Medical Center had originally given Vo's family only until Saturday to find a place to take her because it was no longer willing to allow Vo to stay there.
Now they have until June 5 to transfer Vo to another medical facility or NAMC will stop providing Vo any life-sustaining medical treatment.

Could have been. It would be useful to know who was in there. Maybe you, FV and any other witnesses could compare notes and make an educated guess.
For my two cents, just lugging in a video camera to record Terri's last breath is proof of madness.
In Texas, the zombies argue that a hospital "Ethics Committee" has the absolute right to refuse medical treatment. Now it is the patient and her family who have nothing to say about it.
Quiz: deduce what legal principle the zombies agree on?
He tried to euthanize her in the early morning hours of February 25, 1990. He doesn't seem to want to speak much about that.
He tried again a couple of years later by refusing to let her have antiobiotics to treat a potentially fatal urinary tract infection.
He did speak out, to Terri's caregivers, evidently often, in these and similar words: "Isn't that b**** dead yet?" "I'm going to be rich!"
He tried to euthanize her with insulin injections (a la Sunny von Bulow*) as many as five times. (*Sunny is still alive and tenderly cared for.) That's another one he's not talking about. Why not? If killing your wife is OK, why quibble about how you do it?
Her previous doc threw her to the wolves and went on vacation. (His name was Giveon, or something like that, as I recall.) Perhaps he was too interested in playing golf and forgot to take care of his patient. Perhaps he should try some other line of work, such as an encyclopedia salesman.
Texas Right to Life provides the following information about the dramatic turn of events in the Andrea Clark case.
On Tuesday, May 2, the treatment team at St. Luke's convened to further discuss Andrea's condition and treatment plan. At this meeting, Dr. Matthew Lenz, a physician with privileges at St. Luke's, transferred Andrea's care into his own hands. This physician became involved at the request of Texas Right to Life and has since taken a personal interest in protecting Andrea's life. His goal is to nurse Andrea back to a point where she can then be transferred to another facility for further rehabilitation.
Andrea's condition is very fragile, and she requires a lot of specialized care, yet her condition is no justification for speeding her to her death by abruptly ending treatment and care that has been working. Dr. Lenz is now the new attending physician, and he has already begun to see improvements in her care.
Andrea must undergo a surgery tomorrow to have her septic gall bladder removed, and this surgery does pose risks to Andrea's fragile condition, but the removal of the diseased organ should lend to Andrea's overall improvement.

This is the video of Greer's speech at the ethics conference yesterday at the University of Penn.

If you want to fix the html, feel free.
Sorry 8mm, same here.
Listen to Michael Schiavo whine during his "speech" at the ethics conference at the Univ of Penn. Schiavo appears nervous and a bit confused, and reads strictly from his notes.
He attacks Larry King when he should be thanking King. Larry was always too kind to Schiavo and gave him air time to whine about his life.
Oh, how I love a happy ending! Praise God!
That's not a bear. ; )
