All the court documents are referenced at his site.

You can't read them and not see the distortions and outright lies perpetrated by well meaning zealots in this case. I live here in Pinellas County and we've followed this story for 15 years. If there were any hint of malfeasance on the part of any of our elected officials there would have been a tremendous uproar from a big chunk of the 3 million people who live here. Drive by Woodside and and see 30-50 people protesting. And most of them are snowbirds. And Judge Greer(R) just won reelection with nearly 70% of the vote.

In the final analysis, the difficult question that faced the trial court was whether Theresa Marie Schindler Schiavo, not after a few weeks in a coma, but after ten years in a persistent vegetative state that has robbed her of most of her cerebrum and all but the most instinctive of neurological functions, with no hope of a medical cure but with sufficient money and strength of body to live indefinitely, would choose to continue the constant nursing care and the supporting tubes in hopes that a miracle would somehow recreate her missing brain tissue, or whether she would wish to permit a natural death process to take its course and for her family members and loved ones to be free to continue their lives. After due consideration, we conclude that the trial judge had clear and convincing evidence to answer this question as he did.

This about sums it up.

I have always said there is a big piece of this puzzle that is missing. This clears up alot of the nagging little questions I have had. I will still pray for Terri, however.
