I apologize for any untoward statement I may have made (all in jest, I assure you) and respectfully request that this thread be given the timely burial which it has surely earned.

I second that motion. I think this thread was a rather transparent attempt to stifle the debate on Michael Shiavo's possible conflicts of interest in the case - which is central to the entire debate.

"possible conflicts of interest in the case"

He's refused to state if he has a life insurance policy on her and he stands to acquire any money left from the lawsuits he supposedly filed on her beahlf and won.

There's nothing "possible" about it. He stands to benefit financially from her death in a number of ways. I'm betting he's already looking into book and movie of the week deals over his fight in the courts. No doubt he will be portrayed in the most noble of light.
