Florida House Could Impeach Schiavo Judge

Based on public record, there exists sufficient cause for Gov. Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature to take immediate steps for the impeachment and removal of Sixth Judicial Circuit Court judge George W. Greer, the judge who has been acting in the prohibited dual role of judge and guardian in the Terri Schiavo case.

Terri Schiavo, 41, is the brain damaged woman who is at the center of a decade long court battle in Clearwater, Fla., between her estranged husband Michael Schiavo who wants to end her life, and her parents, Mary and Robert Schindler Sr. who want to care for her.

According to the Florida Constitution and Florida Statutes, cause exists to impeach and remove Greer from judicial office without further delay.

Although there is evidence that he has violated numerous provisions of the guardianship laws of the state, there is also documentary evidence that Greer has allegedly committed a misdemeanor and possibly felonies by allegedly filing false documents with Florida’s Division of Elections and by allegedly improperly withholding information pertaining to the alleged abuse of Terri Schiavo.

While it is indisputable that he violated judicial canons by acting in the prohibited role of judge and guardian, refusing to appoint her an independent guardian ad litem to represent her interests, public records and documents establish that Greer allegedly violated Florida election laws and did not qualify for office.
