I think that this is an unfair characterization of Jeb. He did the best he could to try to save Terri but was thwarted by a demented judge determined to see her murdered at all costs.
Jeb was prepared to dispatch the state police to take Terri to safety but Judge Greer (may he rot in a hot place for all time!!) threatened to deploy the local police force to keep the state police from taking her. Jeb, fearing the spectacle of police forces shooting at each other and the additional violence that might cause, reluctantly called the state police off. The standoff was simply one that he could not win without the possibility of inciting anarchists.
It was a lose-lose situation and I find it interesting that many people blame Jeb for her murder than the demented Judge Greer or her so-called "husband", Michael.
I agree. I think Jeb fought hard to save her life. You have to face that the law clearly put Terry’s “husband” in the spot to decide her destiny.
She had a lot of physical issues. I know that for a fact. Not eating can do horrible things to you. If she feared her husband, she could have appointed someone else to make decisions for her in a life threatening situation.
So, take heed folks, if you don’t trust your spouse, don’t give him/her the authority to pull the plug.
I’m hardly promoting Jeb. We’ve had enough Bushes, thank you. But this argument is pointless.
