Why was only one man, Judge Greer, the determinant of the facts in Terri's case?

Never mind that it was one man....I want to know why a probate court decided this case.  Probate courts are for divvying up finances and ruling on estate procedures.

Letting probate judges make life or death decisions makes about as much sense as trying a capital murder case in bankruptcy court.

Sure...maybe a superior court judge would have made the same stupid mistakes that Greer appears to have made but at least there's a chance that experience in life or death cases would make a superior court judge more cautious and sensible.

Civil courts in general (probate, divorce, bankruptcy, etc.) are not equipped with the same safeguards that appear in criminal courts, or where the stakes are life & death.

When the hit men in Black Robes do anything illegal that
can get away with it because other judges will cover up for
them and no single lawyer will try and bring down a judge.
The lawyer would never win a case.
The corruption in the court rooms is all across the country. Now we have Doctors,Lawyers,Judges and Hospitals
that are interested in the dying, they no longer want to
cure people, wealth and fame come from body parts, research
and organ transplants.
Two years ago I went to the hospital with 2 broken arms,
due to a fall. The hospital left me laying there all day,
didn't help me until late that evening, they were trying
to over dose me with morphine. One person yelled out look
at all those bubbles, the nurse got mad and pull the tube
out. By an act of God the morphine wouldn't kick in. I also
had a serious head injury and they refuse to check it out.
One of the workers at the hospital called my daughter and
my daughter and granddaughter came to get me.
