ABC just laid it our pretty clearly on the evening news:
1. Doctors who have examined her say Terri's state is permamnent and irreversible.
2. Fifteen judges in 34 court appearance have all ruled in Michael Schaivo's favor.
3. Whatever money was once there from malpractice is virtually all gone. There is no cash.
4. The new federal judge appears very skeptical that there are any new legal considerations in the case, despite the new federal law. The judge also appears to believe that Terri Schaivo has received due process in the court.
5. The Supreme Court has now twice refused to hear the case.
6. An independent court investigator reviewed all the court documents, including sealed documents, and reported to Judge Greer in Florida, who agreed that her state is permannet, and that she has received due process in the courts.
The upshot of the whole thing? It sounded like ABC was trying to get the Shindlers to understand that there is no hope for Terri's recovery, and that she will likely die from starvation/dehydration.
