What a lazy,lout, totally useless, State Attorney. He won't do an investigation? Unbelievable. Pray for Terri to be delivered from this evil that her "husband" and his willing accomplices in the state of Fl are trying to inflict on her.

Dear Father in Heaven please help Terri and her family overcome the legal burdens of proving that Terri is "worthy of life"- put upon them by Michael Schiavo, George Felos, and officials in the State of Florida. Dear Lord, please lift the veil of deceit from Mike and his accomplices. Expose the truth about them to the public. Confound and confuse all of their plans, and cause them to fail. Cause the evil that they intend to inflict on Terri to instead be turned back on them. Especially reveal to them your will Father, let their be no doubt as to what your will is for Terri. Convict them in their consciences. Ultimately, if it be your will heavenly father- Remove the threat of those who seek to end Terri's life, and grant that she will be returned to her mother and father to live out the rest of her days in Peace. We ask in the Name of Jesus our Lord and Saviour Amen.

Florida case where woman starved and dehydrated her mother at home, was convicted of neglect of a disabled person, and appealed challenging the constitutionality of the laws. The 4th District Court of Appeal affirmed the constitutionality of sections 782.07(2) and 825.102(3).

Neglect Of Disabled Person - Constitutionality The 4th DCA affirmed a defendant's conviction for neglect of a disabled person, rejecting constitutional challenges to the underlying statute.

The defendant's conviction for neglect arose from the death of her mother. On appeal, the defendant challenged the constitutionality of sections 782.07(2) and 825.102(3) on the grounds that the statutes lacked a specific intent requirement, are unconstitutionally vague and violated her mother's right to privacy in refusing medical treatment.

Affirming the defendant's conviction, the DCA found it within the Legislature's power to dispense with the intent element and said the statutes are not vague because the defendant's conduct fell squarely within the conduct proscribed by the statutes. As to the defendant's argument regarding her mother's right to refuse medical treatment, the DCA said "constitutional rights are personal in nature and generally may not be asserted vicariously."

msmagoo: If this woman's claim that she refused medical treatment for her mother under a right to privacy was rejected by the court, why is MS allowed to vicariously assert a privacy right in seeking to cause Terri's death?

[Sieniarecki vs. State, 724 So.2d 626 (4th DCA 1998)]

Section 825.102 defines neglect of an elderly person or disabled adult in a lengthy definition that basically applies a standard of reasonable care to the acts of a caregiver.

AMEN. I am in total agreement with your prayer. May God Almighty dispatch his ministry spirits to surround Terri and raise a hedge of protection around her. I plead the shed blood of Christ over Terri, her room and even the door posts of her room. Satan we remind you that as you attempt to destroy this innocent life, that you are confronted by the shed blood of Christ and that you are defeated by the blood. Leave NOW and take every evil spirit with you. You are not permitted in Terri's room and you are not permitted near her person. Father, cause the Spirit of Conviction to rest heavily upon the decision makers in this case. Cause them unrest to the point that they make the decision for life whether they realize why they are making such decision or not. Give them no peace until they do make the right decision. Strengthen Terri, her family and those who have upheld this just cause. We thank you Lord for the miracles that will be done in this case. In Mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
