Georgia Case~

This is illegal, for one. The other family member needs to call the FBI. There are laws against this kind of thing. Federal laws that protect the whole country. As far as I know, other than the State of FLorida, they are enforced. (which I am still waiting to hear how and why Judge Greer managed to pull his stunt like he did. I already know, just waiting for the FBI and the DOJ to tell us why.) When the FBI does not respond to anyone, you know something is very very strange. I am sure the FBI will respond to that family.


This below law covers every state, in the country. Note the law specifices; Judges, local police and Nursing homes. Families have to demand their cases get handled. It is their right. I can't sign on to Terrisblog, too blind to see the type key thing.

Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.

Gospelmidi,

I appreciate the point that you are making regarding the way in which the probate judge in the Schindler vs. Schiavo case thumbed his nose at the Constitution as well as a variety of other laws when he ruled in the manner that he ruled. Yet everything he did was "legal".

There is a big difference between the probate judge who first handled Mae's case and George Greer. The judge in Georgia made sure that Mae was protected whilst he was hearing the case, however Mrs Gaddy did not act according to the spirit of the directive that she was given. The judge recused himself from the case and this was the most appropriate move, a move that George Greer refused to make, out of a sense of pride and desire to achieve a certain type of fame.

I agree, these decisions are nothing more than legally approved murder. That is why we have to stop the snowballing of the culture of death, not just in your country but in my own country.

Many of Judge George W. Greer's judgments defied law.

Florida Statute 744.3215 (Rights of Persons Determined Incapacitated) requires that incapacitated people cannot be deprived of food and water.

Florida Statute 765.309 prevents mercy killing and assisted suicide.

"Unalienable" (or "inalienable") means "impossible to make not native," or "incapable of being repudiated or transferred to another," or "that cannot be taken away or transferred."

In 1982, 19-year-old Terri Schiavo expressed her horror at "pulling the plug" on Karen Quinlan. Jackie Rhoades and Diane Meyer recounted how Terri got very angry, saying, “How do they know what she wants? Why don’t they just leave her alone?” Judge George Greer dismissed their testimony, in error, stating that Terri was a minor when she said that in 1975, the year that Karen Quinlan fell into a coma. He did not correct his error when it was later pointed out to him that Miss Quinlan lived until 1985. Except for this erroneous judgment by George Greer, the testimony of Terri's two friends would have established her desire to live.

Greer denied an order from a judgment based on his error in dismissing pertinent testimony in 2000 that would assist the court in determining Terri Schiavo's true end of life wishes. Florida Statute 765.404 says clear and convincing evidence of the ward's intent for medical treatment must be established. The only evidence in support of removing Terri's feeding tube was the self-serving hearsay testimony of her guardian (which is not admissible under Florida Statute 90.602) and hearsay from two members of his immediate family.
_________________

During much of his jurisdiction, George Greer refused to appoint a guardian ad lidem on behalf of a legally incompetent person whose guardian was often not acting in her best interests.
_________________
Terri was denied the right to the free exercise of religion enumerated in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Terri was a practicing Catholic, a communing and weekly attender of a church whose distinguishing mark is obedience to the Pope. "A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope," said Pope John Paul II. Cardinal Renato Martino, President of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, spoke the words Pope John Paul II would have spoken if his circumstances permitted. "When you deprive somebody of food and water, what else is it? Nothing else but murder." Asked who should be held responsible for Schiavo's death, Cardinal Martino replied: "The judges, her husband, whoever denied access" to feeding. Cardinal Martino explicitly stated that he was speaking on the case "according to the teaching of the pope."
________________

Pinellas County Circuit Judge George Greer denied the motion for new medical testing before court-ordered death, he denied the motion to reconsider his error on Terri's testimony regarding Karen Quinlan, and he ordered that Terri could not be given food or water orally after removal of her feeding tube. Each of his actions violated Florida statutes.

Greer ruled that no further neurological tests may be conducted on Terri, using functional MRI to determine if she is still in a "persistent vegetative state," as Greer found in 2002, or if Terri is "minimally conscious." Florida Statute 765.404 defines persistent vegetative state (PVS) and requires that the condition be determined and diagnosed as permanent, prior to the withdrawal of life-prolonging means. Standard procedures in diagnosing PVS include an MRI of the head and a PET scan, which had not been done, and diagnostic therapies by specialists, which also had not been done.

Judge Greer barred the Florida Dept. of Children and Families (DCF), the agency designated to protect the disabled, from investigating 30 to 90 allegations of abuse of Terri Schiavo.

Terri Schiavo was committed for five years to a hospice facility. In Florida, it is unlawful to place in a hospice any person with a life expectancy of more than six months. It defrauds Medicare.

Michael was living in open adultery with Jodi Centonze, with whom he now has two children. According to Florida Statute 798.01, adultery is a crime, a 2nd degree misdemeanor in Florida. If Michael and Jodi were both arrested, the criminal court judge would make divorcing Terri part of the terms of probation. (Michael could no longer claim to be Terri's husband, if he and Jodi Centonze were married by common law. They have lived together as man and wife for ten years, but their union is not legally recognized as a common law marriage, only because Florida eliminated common law marriage after January 1, 1968.)

Michael Schiavo obstructed justice by concealing evidence when he obtained a court order to seal the results of Terri's 3/5/91 bone scan. When an attorney's investigation brought the bone scan to light in 2002, Florida Law Enforcement refused to investigate, saying that the statute of limitations had expired for attempted homicide. However, now that Terri's murder has been completed, there is no statute of limitations for homicide.

"Dr. Michael Baden, co-director of the Investigative Unit of New York State Police in Albany and former chief medical examiner for New York City, ruled out potassium imbalance and a heart attack as factors in Terri's mysterious collapse 13 years ago - which left her severely incapacitated and unable to speak - and pointed to head trauma and bone injuries as a more likely cause. . .

"Baden said the injuries were caused by some kind of trauma. 'The trauma can be from an auto accident, the trauma can be from some kind of beating that she obtained from somebody somewhere. It's something that should have been investigated in 1991 when those findings were fresh,' and added, 'Maybe they were. Maybe they were investigated by the police at that time.'
"As far as Terri's family knows, they were not.
"In fact, her parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, knew nothing of the existence of the bone scan until their attorney Patricia Anderson was collecting evidence for a hearing scheduled for October 2002. Prior to that time, Terri's medical records had been kept sealed under court order at the request of her husband, Michael Schiavo, who had launched his crusade to remove his wife's feeding tube."

On March 18, 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives issued a subpoena, requiring safe conduct to the hearing, for Terri and Michael Schiavo to appear before Congress on March 28, an appearance delayed by the Easter vacation.

Judge Greer thumbed his nose at the Congress and ordered Terri's feeding tube removed immediately.

Thereafter, Congress made no motion to cite Judge Greer for contempt of Congress.
_____________________

"On Jan. 25, 2002, when Patricia Anderson, attorney for Mary and Robert Schindler, parents of the disabled woman, petitioned Greer for an evidentiary guardianship hearing, a DCF investigator received a subpoena to appear. His subpoena was quickly killed by Judge Greer in a motion from DCF attorney Nagatani (campaign contributor of Greer) to quash the subpoena 'that because this is in the courts, the agency is staying out'.

"And that has been the steadfast excuse all the way to the top---including the U.S. Department of Justice, giving Judge George Greer virtually unreined power in his march towards the death of Terri Schiavo." http://www.theempirejournal.com/doh_scandal_grounds_for_new_trial_in_schiavo_case.htm
