The problem is that it is late in the game and there is nothing in there to back up the fact that she isn't in a "vegetative state". How can you come to a different conclusion when all the "evidence" and opposing lawyer agree that she is IN a "vegetative state" with no hope of recovery. Ms Campbell literally handed Felos his victory.

Wrong. Congress passed that law that the parents have the right of a de novo trial. That means that everything starts from scratch and everything must be proved again -- which is why Michael Schiavo is so mad.

If someone can get the feeding tube re-inserted, or if she can be taken away from that hospice and put in a hospital, it may be okay.

They way they posted things on the fight for Terri website, the Hospice may have just jerked out the feeding tube without a medical procedure.

But they are not starting from scratch. Can you imagine the mountains of documents? They're taking the word of judges.

I wonder if they have only capped off the feeding tube vs. removed the feeding tube...

Yes congress passed the law and our judiciary chose to ignore it. They ignored the the " de novo' provision. Look it up!!!!
