Schiavo Judge Greer Turned Blind Eye
to Past Domestic Abuse
Could Sixth Circuit Court Judge George W. Greer have a bias towards
women in domestic abuse cases? Does he have an "attitude" favoring
men in abuse cases? He seems to have a history of failing to
protect women who seek protection from the legal system, saying that
there is a "lack of proof".
When Helene Ball McGee if Dunedin, Fla., turned to Greer for
protection against her abusive husband, Bobby Lane McGee in March,
1998, Greer rebuked her plea for help, saying that he
wasn't "convinced that her life was in imminent danger"
In asking for the court order, she told Greer that her husband
forced himself on her sexually, burned her belongings and said she
was possessed by the devil. Greer ruled that she didn't
have "enough proof" that her husband was violent because she said he
had not been physically violent----yet.
