As a side note, from someone who personally witnessed the protests and media circus surrounding this case, I want to make the obvious observation that this case simply won't go away. This latest probe by Gov. Jeb Bush is evidence that the political hysteria probably won't cease any time soon.

May Terri rest in peace and may her husband and family continue to move on with the rest of their lives.
