Oh, shame on you! No judge wishes a defensless woman dead.

If she isn't brain-dead, and I have read that she is not, it is her family's responsability to have her cared for and in the event that they cannot then it is the State of Florida's responability to do so.

Unless Jeb orders in State Police or the Attorney General slaps on some kind of restraining order here, this poor woman is going to be dead -- murdered, in my opinion -- within days.

There is enough conflict of interest here to take action. The letter he wrote was nice, but not enough, Jeb needs to take action, and do it soon.

Please read about this case .. This Judge has denied her family any rights .. he has denied therapy to imporve he life .. he has denied proper tests to be done .. he has denied given her an independent guardian to look after her best interest

About the only thing he has agreed to is keeping her husband who I might add there are questions about abuse .. to be her legal guardain .. and this Judge has agreed with her husband to disconnect her feeding tube so that she starves to death.

No, I think Greer wants Terri dead, annyokie. I've been doing a little research, and not only was Felos the chairman of the board at Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, but also, according to Hospice Patients' Alliance, Judge Lenderman's wife (who shares the bench with Greer) is on the board of the Hospice. Every judge on the Sixth Circuit probably knows that Felos was Chairman of the Board for Hospice, including Greer - and yet they allowed testimony from doctors who once worked under Felos to influence decisions.

This information was not made known to the Schindlers, but the judge and Mike Schiavo's attorney knew that the doctors testimonies were tainted by conflict of interest...

TERRI SCHIAVO TO DIE IN ATTORNEY'S "DEATH FACTORY"? SUNCOAST HOSPICE BOSS WAS GEORGE FELOS...

Shame on Greer, instead; and yes, I do think he wants her dead. Why, I intend to find out...

There is a substantial fund existing for the sole purpose of caring for her.

Her "husband" (ahem) will inherit it when she dies.

Cui bono?

[I still care]

I don't agree. It seems to me that for some reason the judge is invested in letting the husband kill his wife. I'm not saying it is money, maybe it is pride - maybe he just doesn't like the Schindler's faces. Who knows?

But so much of what he does smacks of bias. Even when requested by the governor, he didn't give a second thought to giving this woman another guardian. He let him take her out of a hospital when she is deathly ill.

In Michael's words, "Her teeth are fine; she doesn't eat," Michael Schiavo said. "Why take her to a gynecologist? She was supposed to die months ago. I don't want her room filled with flowers from strangers or right-to-life activists. Even though she is vegetative she has a right to privacy."

And I think the judge is firmly on his side, for some reason he only knows.

Annyokie,

May I gently remind you the we are discussing events occurring in the Sheeples Republic of FloriDUH?

Things here in the Sheeples Republic are often an order of magnitude more strange than suspenders on a snake.

Also, "responsibility" is a word not readily understood; from the State Supreme Court to Judgie Pooh in the Schiavo case, the Florida bar is in great need of correction. Alas, for Terri Schiavo, the US Supreme Court isn't involved.

The man that Terri once married has a child by another woman and is expecting one more. In my opinion, this man does not qualify as a husband. The guardianship over Terri shoudl be given to her parents who have her best interest at heart. The court here has been just so wrong, that they have become criminal, as far as I am concerned.

You certainly don't seem to know the story that you have injected your comment into. Her family isn't ALLOWED to see her or help her....her killer husband wants her dead....so does the judge.
