Florida judge lifts stay blocking feeding tube removal

	Tweet

A Florida court on Friday cleared the way for the feeding tube to be removed from a brain-damaged Florida woman, a court official said.

Judge George Greer lifted a temporary stay issued by the chief judge of the Pinellas Circuit Court, David Demers, which had briefly blocked the removal of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube.

“Judge Greer held a hearing on the congressional committee’s motion to intervene in the case. He denied it and reinstated the order (to remove Schiavo’s feeding tube),” said Ron Stuart, a spokesman for the Pinellas Circuit Court.
