Schiavo: A Victim of Process

I have been asked by several correspondents if I intend to write again on the Schiavo case. The answer is that I don’t know. What else is there to say that hasn’t already been written? Terri is the victim of a legal system that has become obsessed with legal process at the expense of justice. The trial in her case was not originally well handled and the courts are hanging that record around her neck like a millstone and refusing to truly and thoroughly examine new facts that have come to light. And the media have been generally complicit by only selectively reporting the facts about her case. It is a travesty any way you measure it. Here are some of my previous writings. Life, Death, and Silence,No Mercy In Florida, and Saving Terri Schiavo. Other articles can be accessed at my WEB site by hitting the “articles” link.
