Then move on (gawd, it still actually hurts my fingers to type that phrase now) to the info in the news yesterday concerning the testimony of MS's sister, the judge's decision that she got her years grossly wrong, and his decision as to what she "really must have meant."

I don't think this all rises to "they definitely got it wrong", but it certainly doesn't rise to "they might have it right", either.
You linked to that blog recently, and I read it then. It's interesting, but I don't see anything in it that rises to the sort of clear and convincing evidence I'd want to see to decide that a court found the wrong facts. And there's lots of stuff showing up in "the news" about this case that's flat-out wrong, as suggested by the thing I linked to.

Besides, I thought you didn't care about what her wishes were. I thought that for you, it was all about maximizing the utils of those who still have functional brains.
