This is only the beginning of information I have not seen anywhere else. Info was sent to me in email to check out. We have until 12:00 noon today - as I understand - to blog, email, do what we can.

Almighty God, protect Terri, and may Your Will be done. JK

Great post! Bump.

Her testimony is consistent with the nurses who are coming out saying that Michael was very intimidating to the nursing staff and prevented anyone from seeing Terri. Did anyone else happen to notice how carefully groomed Michael is? The reason I say this is because one of the nurses stated that Michael was very, very clothes conscious and concentrates a lot on his appearance. She also stated that Michael was a very, very superficial husband when it came to caring for Terri. Looks mattered more to Michael than the quality of care Terri was getting.

Welcome to FR.

The central question always comes around to what Terri allegegly said years ago in casual conversation that she 'would not want to be kept alive' with tubes, etc.

What if she had said in another conversation 'If my husband cheats on me, I would want a divorce,' would the court grant her wishes with as much 'rabid' support and declare the marriage to Michael Schiavo dissolved?

Not so incredible based on what I already believe about Michael. Waiting to see if Fox picks up on this. Thanks

In May of 1992, at the apex of the romance, Schiavo had Terri’s 2 pet cats euthanized to clear the way for his moving in with Cindy and her pet dog.

Nice little pattern there, Mikey.

If he was at fault for any of his wife's injuries don't you think with the advanced forensic medicine he would have been arrested by now? Furthermore if he did divorce Terri he would still be painted in evil colors. The guy has no chance at being treated fairly because no matter what he does people twist it around to make it sound evil.

The evidence was suppressed and sealed by his good buddy Judge Greer. This guy is evil. He's getting away with murder by judicial fiat.

He has been fighting with is inlaws in the courts for years, he wants her dead! IMHO he should have gotten a divorce & let Terri's parents care for her. I would not blame him for that, that would be his decision although it would not be mine. It's a heck of a lot more humane than what he's doing now! I think money is at the root of his actions. When this is all over, wait for the book & movie deals to come rolling in!

Yes, I've heard this before and it is troublesome. Why wasn't there an initial investigation back in 1990-91? If this is true, he should have been charged years ago.

I worked in hospitals for years, as a critical care nurse. Most folks that work in hospitals know that when someone dies, their body releases potassium. Thus, per common hospital lore, the best way to kill someone, undetected, is to inject a massive dose of potassium directly into their vein. Potassium is readily available in hospitals because its the most common IV additive, and it is not a controlled substance at all. It also leads to a heart attack. Michael worked in hospitals, and Terri had an unusual amount of potassium in her body. Michael also claimed she had a heart attack, but the chart does not show that her cardiac isoenzymes were elevated.

I was a cardiovascular clinical nurse specialist. I dealt with cardiac patients, although in those days I also rotated to the critical care unit. Heart attacks are diagnosed from EKGs, symptoms and cardiac isoenzymes. ALL acute heart attack victims have elevated isoenzymes. Yet, if this report is true, Terri's isoenzymes were normal.

Excellent post.

I'm not so much concerned about Fox picking it up.

I'd like the see CBS or NBC or the NY Times pick this story up and report it.

The media's refusal to report the entire story correctly is what will kill Terri Schiavo...indirectly of course.

If people knew the whole story...hell, if they only knew half of the story, they would be up in arms over this planned execution.

"We have until 12:00 noon today - as I understand - to blog, email, do what we can. "

I've missed something evidently. What happens at noon?

As much chance of that as seeing Elvis.

Agreed

Judge Greer rules on Jeb Bush's request to have the DCF take Terri into custody.
