Appeal Denied; Supreme Court Next for Terri

By a vote of two to one, the three-judge panel of the Eleventh Circuit ruled against the Schindlers. Rather than seek an en bank hearing of the full Eleventh Circuit, they now have filed a cert petition with the Supreme Court.

Two of the judges still don't see this case for what it is: a case of homicide, aided and abetted by bought-and-paid-for men of a political activist group with an bone-chilling agenda and an arrogance to match it. But one judge sees the central problem: that Terri Schindler Schiavo will die without that feeding tube before the courts have a chance to consider the case fully. That dissent is their key help in getting the Supremes to consider their petition.
