Would appreciate your excellent clarification on this. If I'm understanding it, Connor is saying that anything introduced by Schiavo/Felos from prior litigation to which Gov Bush wasn't a party is actually "hearsay"? And, if it's hearsay, then Bush has a right to discovery, depositions, evidentiary hearings, and even a jury trial when he disputes the evidence? Essentially, couldn't that mean trying the case all over again from the beginning? If so, that could take months...years maybe?

Right. And it seems likely that Michael's guardianship of Terri won't last that long. I'm not sure if Schiavo v. Bush could proceed if Michael loses guardianship, but it would be rather interesting if Michael et al. pressed ahead and Terri appeared in court to defend Bush's actions.

BTW, if Terri recovers, I wonder how her parents would feel about her likeness being used in the campaign ads of candidates challenging certain legislators?

Re: posts #716 and 717: maybe next time Felos and his ilk will think twice before picking a fight with the "dumb" Bushes.
