Crist declined this week to directly answer questions about the case. A statement issued by a spokeswoman said that he ''supported Governor Bush and assisted in the preparation of the legal briefs'' related to the case. ``Gov. Bush wanted to take a leadership role and the Attorney General respected that.''
As for his remarks at the banquet, Crist's spokeswoman said he ``was speaking at a ceremony honoring the judges and was commenting on them in general. Charlie Crist believes in the Constitution as written, and part of the Constitution is the separation of powers.''
David Gibbs, an attorney for Schiavo's parents, said the family was disappointed by Crist's inaction. As for Gallagher, he said he hopes that he ``remains true to his convictions.''

Murder is about leadership roles? Well, we were short on leaders one year ago... "You do this, Jeb. The judges are my homies and I don't want to get involved..." what Crist might have said about Terri to Jeb.
Did you know that Gallagher was an honor guard in D.C.? He may have been on the White House detail.
