Terri Schiavo dies

When I posted this originally, I had some comments which got wiped out somehow. So here's an update for today, April 1.

This morning I watched part of the Today Show on NBC with Ann Curry interviewing Michael Schiavo's Lawyer, George Felos, who stated that he had been in the room with Terri and Michael to witness Terri's death. Why is a lawyer in the room, when Terri's blood relatives are not allowed to be with her at her death? The lawyer stated that Terri's brother could not be present because a police office would have had to be present as well, and this would be an invasion of Terri's privacy. So a lawyer being there is not an invasion of her privacy? I don't get it.

But in my email today, my buddy Gabriel had forwarded me some lawyer jokes. They are not all new, but somehow they seem appropriate this April Fool's Day.
