Rulings Keep Woman Off Feeding Tube
From Times Wire Reports
Two state courts denied last-ditch efforts by the parents of a disabled woman to reinsert a feeding tube that had been keeping her alive.
The husband of Terri Schiavo successfully fought to have her feeding tube removed this week, but her family vowed to fight to have it reinserted.
A Tallahassee judge rejected the request, saying it should have been filed in Pinellas County, where the case originated. The 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee then denied the request.
