THIS GUY IS A DAMN LIAR! A SHILL FOR THE STUPID! MANY HOSPICE WORKERS HAVE GIVEN SWORN AFFIDAVITS OTHERWISE!!!
But after being awarded $800,000 for Terri's rehabilitation and lifetime care and $640,000 for his loss, Michael had a do-not-resuscitate order placed on his wife's chart and repeatedly denied her treatment for infections.
No I think it is you flaglady who is delusional. You can't tell the difference between someone who is braindead and dying and someone who isn't.
Even if Terri were PVS it would be a crime to STARVE HER to DEATH!!!! WE don't STARVE people in this country. At least in the America, I knew!
And a device that was made especially for him to communicate. Otherwise Hawkings wouldn't be just like Terri and UNABLE to speak. Doctor's think Terri could learn to speak without such a device.
Notice all those broken bones in the 1991 bone scan as well strangulation marks. A scan that Michael kept secret from Terri's family until 2003.
"No I think it is you flaglady who is delusional. You can't tell the difference between someone who is braindead and dying and someone who isn't."
You're going to lose on every level of this case, you know. On every point. In every court. The U.S. Supreme Court just shot down Congress's appeal. And Monday, no matter what gyrations certain members of Congress go through, it will do absolutely no good as most members of Congress have already left town on spring break, and won't come back in to vote on this subject, not very many of them at all. There won't be enough members to make a quorum so there won't be any vote. And Congress won't return until, I believe the first week in April, two weeks from now. By that time it will be too late.
If a law is passed in the FL legislature early this next week, it will be shot down immediately by the FL 2nd Court of Appeals, and then the FL State Supreme Court. You've got nowhere left to go. The end, finis. Unless you've got some really really good idea that no one else has thought of yet. Good luck.
This straw man, wrong diagnosis and chemical imbalance was apperently believable and was proved well enough to award her a 2 million dollar malpractice settlement.
That's on strong straw-man.
With our notoriusly corrupt court system that grows increasingly more corrupt with each passing year, I find it laughable that you would even consider justifying the STARVATION of Terri because of the decision of ONE very BIASED Judge.
Does anyone know what the true numbers are on this case. I have heard 2 million, 1 million, $700,000 now $800,000 plus $640,000.
Why is it that something as simple as getting the numbers on a the settlement straight can't even be accomplished.
Can anyone point me to some documents/articles that show these numbers?
This guy thinks starving Terri to death is a way to "let go"? Dear me!
Is this appeal the same as the subpoena they issued for Terri to testify?
Are the appeal and subpoena connected in any way?
except that he's lying about her not having bedsores..and being well cared for.. since she had to have 5 teeth pulled because of lack of dental care, and not being allowed to leave her room or even look outside for 5 years, so why wouldn't he lie about everything else? impassive observer my a**
To answer your question:
The U.S. Supreme Court late Friday denied without comment a House committee emergency request to have Terri Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted. The decision came after the committee requested the court's ruling in order to buy time as lower court appeals on subpoenas issued by the committee are considered.
"because of the decision of ONE very BIASED Judge."
How about the little fact that this case has gone before 19 judges, not just one. The one (Greer) makes a decision, and then it is backed up or not by higher courts. His decisions have been backed by all courts the case has appeared before. So can the only one bit. Does not compute.
Then the appeal and subpoena are not connected.
This is good I think.
Do you know what the next move is concerning the subpoena?
Do they send in the federal marshalls?
If yes, do you think they have the courage to do so?
Do they have the legal standing to do so?
Those are APPEALS court judges. They don't rule based on the FACTS. They only examine whether Judge Greer made PROCEDURAL errors. Even if they strongly believe Judge GREER erred based on the facts (and they well might), they cannot legally overrule him on that basis.
Ok, let me put it to you this way. My calculated guess is that the Courts are real PO'd right now at Congress, as they overstepped their bounds with the subpoenas, effectively thumbing their noses at the Court system. And the Courts (all of them) aren't going to like that one bit. It's that old separation of powers thingy, and the courts believe their toes have been stepped on bigtime. Therefore, at this point, I suspect anything that has to do with the Schiavo case that appears before a Court will now be shot down. Want to bet?
The subpoena question will now be moving through the lower federal courts, and will probably end up eventually before the U.S. Supreme Court, where it will undoubtedly be shot down, as the Court will refuse to review the case. That's my guess.
If they did it would only proving our point that there IS a very serious attitude problem ON THE COURT SIDE. These are not the well behaved yankee doodle dandy courts envisioned in the 18th century where a magistrate was lucky to make it into his sixties. They are septuagenarian and octogenarian Philosopher Kings unto themselves, legislating vast changes in the landscape from the bench.
His findings of fact have never come into scrutiny, only points of law. That the legal engineering and machinations of Felon and company were superb, is the only thing that can be read into this.
Something has to be wrong when one mind is all that is needed to find fact bearing on the very life or death of a person. Murderers get a better chance than this.
