During 1998, an estranged wife who presented evidence of her husband’s physical threats to do her great physical harm, sought an injunction to keep him away from her. Greer denied her request for injunction, claiming he was “following the law.” Days later, the husband stabbed the wife to death...
Source More detail:
Back in 1998, Helene Ball McGee pleaded with Judge Greer to bring a protection order against her estranged husband, claiming that he had raped her, set her clothes on fire, and threatened to kill her. Two weeks after Greer concluded that she had not provided him with enough evidence to warrant such an order, Mr. McGee stabbed her to death in her home.

Just like it is impossible to be friends with active addicts.
NO!!! He SHOULD NOT be tarred and feathered!
He should be drawn and quartered. BUT only until the point BEFORE death.
THEN, NO QUARTER GIVEN as his sorry ass is slapped into a bed. AND NO FEEDING TUBES NOR A DROP OF WATER.
Probably never occured to you that the people who were there were their because they treasure the sanctity of life just as our founders did, and weren't afraid to be thought of as fools to show it.
Were some goofballs? Sure. So freaking what?
Incidentally, few people would call Catholics "evangeliwhackos." Yet they were the dominant and most vocal presence in vigil at the Hospice (and in the marketplace of ideas as well). Doubt that? Go watch my video.
A fitting analogy. Some liberals are not really liberals, they're just mouthing off what they've heard all their lives. About the rabid ones, I agree with you.
I live here.(St. Pete.)
I saw the circus.
It was pathetic.
too bad that's all you saw. you should have seen through it.
Fortunately at this website we can agree to disagree. We won't be tossed by some liberal-in Conservative's-clothing control freak who doesn't allow opposing views. As Conservatives we basically agree more than we disagree, and that is why we have been winning elections. :)
Oh, the irony! A man who ordered the starvation of a woman, gets feted at a banquet.
The former Chief Justice of the Florida State Supreme Court got an award in 1999, at a banquet, for his pro-euthanasia and anti-death penalty predilections.
ACLU Honors [Gerald] Kogan With Poynter Award
The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida has presented its highest award, the Nelson Poynter Award, to Gerald Kogan, former chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court and a member of UM Law's Class of 1955.
The Elian debate, the 2000 election, the Schiavo case.
Some see a circus, I see activism.
I am sure some folks saw the Republican uprising against Gore stealing the election as a "circus" - and I recall Elian's FLA. family being ripped to shreds. While there are over-the-top types on both sides, there are just some things people come to feel passionately about. That's not a bad thing per se.
Really?
There are jackals on these threads constantly telling the rational to leave this site.
I can't wait to see you post a reprimand to one of those wackos.
Jawohl mein herr! Vee vere just following zee law! You cannot convict us, Honorable Tribunal, of crimes against humanity! Vee know notting of zis so-called morality! Zere are no moral abzolutes except for zee rule of mein fuhrer!
Here’s a clue: didn’t cut any ice at Nuremberg, won’t do so here.
Maybe she shoulda thought about the possibility - okay, the undeniable fact - that she couldn't afford a child before she had one.
Novel idea, that.
He allowed the sadistic, estranged husband, Michael Schiavo - who had a mistress and two illegitimate children and vested interest in Terri's death - to remain her guardian. And he sentenced Terri to a horrible, undignified death. I agree with Nancy Grace - no way do I want ever to be starved and dehydrated to death.
Judge Greer is another example how this country is sliding into a dictatorship of judges.
