Its my recollection that the reason the court initially ruled in favor of the husband is that 2 of 3 doctors testified that she is brain dead (or something to that affect) while the other doctor contradicted the two.

I'm not sure. I know there is some dispute as to whether her condition can be classified as Persistent Vegetative State. As I mentioned in my reply to Pilgrim, though, Mr. Schiavo and his brother and sister-in-law (or his sister and brother-in-law?) testified that Terri had mentioned that she would want to die if she were ever in such a state. Judge Greer accepted this testimony, but rejected the testimony of her family members that she had said she would not want to die. But she did not leave behind a living will or a medical directive, so it cannot be established beyond a doubt either way.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
