Michael: Block Bone Scan Showing Possible Abuse of Terri Schiavo

Pinellas Park, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Judge George Greer will hear a motion tomorrow filed by Michael Schiavo that would prevent discovery of information regarding a bone scan conducted on Terri Schiavo that shows she may have been a victim of physical abuse.

While most media outlets have reported that Terri Schiavo collapsed at home in 1990 as a result of a potassium imbalance, Terri's family has long suspected that the real cause may have been physical abuse at the hand of her estranged husband Michael.

A bone scan conducted on Terri in March 1991 showed she had several fractures and was the victim of "abnormal activity" that caused "previous traumas," indicating she may have been beaten or abused.

Attorneys for Terri's family had planned to depose Dr. Campbell Walker, the radiologist who conducted the bone scan, on Friday to obtain his further analysis of it.

Michael's motion asks the court to block the deposition saying that the court has already dealt with the bone scan in previous hearings.

Terri's parents Bob and Mary Schindler hope the information from Dr. Campbell will help show Judge Greer that Michael is unfit to be Terri's guardian. A case to change guardianship to Terri's brother Bob is pending before Greer.

The Schindlers have asked Pinellas County State Attorney Bernie McCabe on several occasions to call a grand jury to investigate the bone scan as well as other abuses during Michael's guardianship.

At the time, McCabe declined to investigate saying too much time had passed between the collapse and the scan.

Also, doctors other than those selected by Michael's attorney have reviewed Terri's medical records.

"It was found that a heart attack did not cause Terri's collapse as everyone was led to believe. Rather, according to one physician, Terri may have been a strangulation victim," Pamela Hennessy, a representative of the family, told LifeNews.com previously.

The Schindlers say Michael also wants to remove any possible evidence that could be used to substantiate accusations of wrongdoing.

Michael wants Terri's body cremated if she dies, which would deny any chance the family has to validate a long-held suspicion.

"Michael has instructed the judge to cremate her body upon her death, which adds even more suspicion to what really happened to Terri," Bob Schindler said.

He added, "We're trying to stop the cremation from happening if Terri does die, so hopefully, we get to the process of investigating what may have happened to Terri that evening."

In September, three nurses filed affidavits saying Michael has withheld proper medical care from Terri.

"He's been trying to kill her -- that's the bottom line," said Carla Sauer Iyer, a 39-year-old registered nurse who cared for Terri Schiavo at a nursing home in 1995 and '96. She says Terri has said words such as "Mommy," "help me" and "pain."

George Felos, the assisted suicide advocate who is Michael's attorney, calls the nurse's statements, "a bunch of garbage." He claims Michael has been insistent that Terri receive the best medical care possible.

These are Florida judges. Who can doubt that they will block admitting this into evidence?

Somebody in Florida with political know-how should point out to the senior citizens of Florida, who form a huge, mostly liberal, voting block, that if the judges are allowed to get away with killing Terry Schiavo solely on the verbal evidence of her husband, without any other evidence whatever, and in particular with no written request, they are putting themselves in terrible danger every time they visit a hospital.

[UCANSEE2]

FELOS, is a liar and co-conspirator.

Michael is a liar, and a potential murderer.

HEY MICHAEL, GEORGE, sue me if you want.

Sue me for liable. Go ahead. All the facts are there that prove you both are liars.

[ArneFufkin]

Why don't you post your real name and address if you want to be sued for libel? Instead, you gutlessly make Free Republic the target.

Terri's Law Who is Terri Schiavo?

[MHGinTN]

George Felos, the assisted suicide advocate who is Michael's attorney, calls the nurse's statements, "a bunch of garbage." ... Because Felos can communicate directly with the Nurse's soul, I suppose, as per his claims in his book?

As a spinner of tales, I couldn't imagine a character as rich in evil and as steeped in self-aggrandizement as George Felos! Felos is close to a character in Psychologist M. Scott Peck's book, People Of The Lie, as close as any one could imagine ... except for Michael Schiavo, who is the epitome of one particular demon-spawn in Peck's descriptions. And folks, Peck's book is not a novel; it's based on real psychological profiles, of real spiritual vampires preying upon the souls of others!

[UCANSEE2]

If Felos is dumb enough to try, JimRob can give them the name and address.

" a motion tomorrow filed by Michael Schiavo that would prevent discovery of information regarding a bone scan conducted on Terri Schiavo that shows she may have been a victim of physical abuse."

Sure, get rid of the most damning piece of solid evidence against the stinkin' HINO. JESUS! Is there NO limit ro what these monsters will do to try and murder that poor woman? I really hope Schiavo gets exactly what he deserves.

[sweetliberty]

So, if I am understanding this correctly, it isn't that Judge Greer ignored the testimony; it is that it was never allowed into evidence in the first place.

[sweetliberty]

Please everybody....write letters to the courts, especially to Greer and his funcrionaries. This blind b*sta*rd has GOT to know he will be held accountable!

Take Jim out of the equation. Either post YOUR NAME, YOUR ADDRESS, or stop making libelous comments.

Tampa Bay is famous for being the lightening capitol of the world.God needs to have us a big storm with some well aimed lightening strikes.....OMG does that statement make me a bad person?

[AmericaUnited]

Relax Arne! These types of statements, posted in this type of forum, have been declared by the several courts NOT to be libelous.

[ArneFufkin]

Fine. State you real name, address and phone number, and declare Michael Schiavo and his attorney murderers and liars. I'll do the duty of sending it to Schiavo and his attorney just so you can get your test case started. Put YOUR money where YOUR mouth is, don't hide and scurry inside the walls of Free Republic like a bunch of cockroaches.
