The poster YOU defended said in post #268, and I quote, "Michael Schiavo has admitted several times that it was his own wish, not Terri's: in testimony, on LKL, and most recently in his interview with Keith Olbermann last March 29."
A) In testimony, B) on LKL (Larry King Live), and C) with Keith Olberman.
I totally discredited B and C, and could find no support for A whatsoever. All I'm asking for is a link to A, B, and C where it supports the poster's statement.
Can't I ask a poster to back up what they're claiming, especially when it's so fundamental to what happened to Terri?
The only problem is that you got the wrong post.
In your dreams.
(On LKL) M. Schiavo: WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TERRI WANTED, but this is what WE want... (emphasis added for clarity)
That can hardly be misunderstood. Michael didn't know what she wanted and says exactly that. He acted on what HE wanted (not her wish) and says that, too.
(Interview with Keith Olbermann) "I fought many, many, many years to help Terri. And finally came to the conclusion this is not what Terri wanted and started my proceedings with that."
This is straightforward too. Michael says it was he who came to the conclusion about what Terri wanted, not she. Note that the decision was AFTER Terri's injury, so it was not possible for her to have a say in it. Note further that WHAT Michael decided was to start HIS legal "proceedings," i.e., to kill her.
The depositions of Trudy Capone and Cindy Shook both pointedly corrobated what Michael admitted on LKL and Olbermann, namely, that he did not know her wishes.
Incidentally, the "many, many, many years" he says he helped her were part of 1990, 1991 and part of 1992. After that he got the insurance money, cut off her therapy and tried to kill her by withholding her antibiotics.
