Schiavo case ties prayer, court rulings, and protests
Terri Schiavo’s Roman Catholic faith figures in ongoing legal fights as Judge Greer and Florida's high court deny the family’s latest motion. Supporters protest outside the hospice while doctors say her condition is vegetative with limited responsiveness.
Pinellas judge Greer faces fame and threats in Schiavo case
Pinellas County Circuit Judge George Greer has been guarded after threats over his ruling that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state and did not want artificial life support. He rejected the Schindlers' bid to revive the feeding tube and has faced protests, church fallout, and calls to step down while maintaining ties to a church that supported preservation of life.
