Judge George Greer apparently is a man too full of self-pride to be able to admit it when he makes a mistake...
Judge George Greer had a chance just the other day to redeem himself when presented with new evidence that Terri Schiavo, when told her feeding tube was about to be removed again, tried to speak...granted, her words weren't perfectly formed...but it was clear to everyone around her that she was trying to say "I want to live!"...but Judge George Greer rejected the appeal because he couldn't bring himself to reverse his own decision to murder the woman...
This past week, he parted ways with his Southern Baptist church, which had advocated keeping Terri Schiavo alive, after his pastor suggested it would be better if he left.
"You must know that in all likelihood it is this case which will define your career and this case that you will remember in the waning days of life," Calvary Baptist Pastor William Rice wrote to Greer in a letter than later became public. "I hope you can find a way to side with the angels and become an answer to the prayers of thousands."
Nope...Judge Greer wouldn't budge...
Greer has been asked to step down from the case five times and has refused.
Attorney Pat Anderson, who had represented the Schindlers for three years of the court fight, filed three motions for recusal but said she could not get Greer to budge.
"A lawyer told me when I first got involved in this case that he (Greer) does not have a reverse on his transmission," Anderson said. "He apparently is too prideful to say 'I made a mistake. I made a mistake because I didn't have all the information and I am sorry I made a mistake.'"
It is one thing to have too much pride if you have had an argument with a friend...many people are like that...but, most of the time, someone's life is not hanging by a thread...
Judge George Greer, for all his pride and self-absorbed ways, has Terri Schiavo's blood on his hands...and for that....he will ultimately pay the ultimate price...
