In a separate hearing on Thursday, Pinellas County Circuit Court Judge Greer heard arguments from George Felos, who asked the court to end his stay on the removal of Terri’s feeding tube early, on Friday. Attorney for the Schindlers, David Gibbs, countered by asking Judge Greer to continue the stay indefinitely.
But in a surprise decision, on Friday Judge Greer issued the indefinite stay requested by Gibbs on behalf of the Schindlers.
The decision barring the removal of Terri’s feeding tube indefinitely has prompted Michael Schiavo’s attorney, George Felos, to consider ending his efforts to kill Terri:
“I think we are coming very close, if we are not here already, where proceeding in the judicial system is futile,” said George Felos, who represents Michael Schiavo in his quest for court permission to stop feeding his brain-damaged wife. “It would appear that pursuing any remedy through the judicial system is simply a waste of time,” Felos said. “It is hard to see where there is any benefit in staying the course in this case.”
Imagine, a death lawyer falling into despair. Delicious. But we’ll see if this is just a feint or a genuine surrender. Thanks for the update.
