He followed the law that was amended to allow Terri to be put to death.

But his factual findings were clearly erroneous, in my book and contrary to the weight of the evidence. But the appellate judges covered for him.

It is more likely than not that she is not in a PVS, but the courts don't care. I hope others aren't put to death in similar fashion.

You get one bite at the apple. It is not the role of Appelate Courts to review findings of fact.

She may not be, but the courts gave her parent 1 chance to prove it, that's all anyone gets.

Thousands are put to death like this every year. I don't know anyone who hasn't had a friend of family member go like this.
