Legally-sanctioned murder in Florida

Had this plot appeared in a novel, the critics would have lambasted it for being too implausible. But, God help us, it's really happening in Florida. A man engaged to a woman carrying their second child is plotting, with the collaboration of the courts, to have his first wife put to death. Naturally his in-laws are fighting it tooth and nail. Read about it here: "Starvation begins for Terri Schiavo", and here: "Drawn toward death: What Terri Schiavo has taught us."
