How the heck can two men who apparently haven't been stricken with a chronic illness be objective in this case? Judge Greer has no perspective whatsoever to evaluate what it's like to be disabled or chronically ill.
I'm sticking to my theory. When Greer was County Commissioner, something happened and Felos is holding it over Greer's head. What if Terri is just the first, unjustifiable "exit protocol" because men in good health deem it's best? It you can't do yoga or run a marathon, you're not worth much. HERE IT IS: Judge George Greer,By BILL LEVASQUE © St. Petersburg Times, published April 28, 2001
Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer is a rarity in two respects.
He is a former county commissioner who later won an unopposed election to the circuit bench, a seldom-used road to the judiciary.
And he boasted in 1986 that he was the first Pinellas commissioner in history to finish a 26.2-mile marathon.
Greer, 59, is a well-respected judge who consistently scores high in polls by lawyers rating judges on their judicial knowledge.
He is also the judge who ruled that Michael Schiavo could remove the feeding tube that had kept alive his wife, Terri Schiavo.
"He's diligent, fair and very astute about the law," said attorney Jay Hebert. "He's a very quiet guy. But he knows what he's doing."
Greer is a native of Brooklyn who moved to Florida when he was 4. A Southern Baptist, his mother was a housewife, and his father worked in title insurance.
He earned an undergraduate degree from Florida State University and his law degree from the University of Florida, making him a Gator and a Seminole.
Greer was a zoning lawyer before narrowly winning a seat on the Pinellas County Commission, where he served eight years. He was elected to the circuit bench in 1992."
FV SAYS: Well, there's no mention that he's a moral man, that he has family values or that he is a compassionate jurist. Sounds like he's in lawyers pockets which is why they give him awards. Whatta guy. He's a prostitute on the bench and what the lawyers want, they get.
