It appears that Terri Schiavo is going to be starved and dehydrated. I don't see how it going to be stopped short of a kidnapping to save her life.
If we are to believe sworn affidavits, Michael Schiavo denied his beloved wife rehab, speech, and occupational therapy. Terri actually was able to drink from a baby bottle and ate pudding and jello. He threatened to fire a nurse if she got nourishment from anything but the feeding tube?
Why just the feeding tube? Because he could have that pulled and starve her to death. He had no interest in seeing that she learn to eat again.
A nurse has said that Terri was able to say "mommy," "help me," "hi," and express when she was in pain.
Terri is also being denied communion.
Michael thinks it is over when he has managed to starve and dehydrate her to death? No, Michael, I don't think so.
There will be a wrongful death suit filed of perhaps $20 million. The evidence will come out about the denial of rehab. Her broken bones will be investigated. Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next.
He is going to have her cremated?
You said what I have been thinking for about a week. If Terri were black, I believe this could well be quite different.
Yes, what would come out in a civil trial could create criminal legal jeopardy for Michael.
Let's start with you and this lie you have just made.
There is no way you can know if she can form words or not. You are lying in making that statement.
You need to stop lying, onyx.
Just because you disagree, doesn't mean the other person is lying
I was thinking about this very thing yesterday. I didn't bring it up because I thought that would be too negative since we were all holding out so much hope.
This will play out so much differently in front of a jury. I hope they sue him and Greer for everything they've got.
The point is not that it was in fact a lawyer, the point is that you people who want Terri murdered don't even have the facts straight. I don't know whether the lawyer was lying or not. Nor do I care.
If you want your opinion to be taken seriously, then get the facts straight. Otherwise, your opinion has no validity.
MAN! I hope you're right! Then finally there will be answers to the questions that we've all asked. Someone on another thread last night said it's a "control" thing with M.Schiavo. I tend to believe that.
Yes. If the information from Terri's friends on another thread is accurate, the parents have requested that if she passes away that she be buried in (I think) the hometown cemetary so they can all rest in peace together eventually. Michael in response to this said that he is going to have her cremated and have her ashes spread all over Pennsylvania.
Both the nurses AND the lawyer heard Terri speak. Keep up! The nurses testified in court years ago, and the lawyer heard her clearly the day the tube was pulled, last Friday.
Show me ONE post of mine that says I want her murdered.
Otherwise retract that odious statement.
"Ultimately, Michael, some of the truth is going to see the light of day. You are not going to get away with it. Not in this life. Not in the next."
This isn't a threat, this is conviction, based on a deep-seated belief that God and true Justice will, in the end, prevail. May earthly convictions for crimes be forthcoming as well.
This is a valid thread and undue fear of reprisal (as opposed to valid concern for advocating anarchy, vigilantism etc.) borders on doing nothing in the face of great evil. Doug has raised worthwhile points.
BTTT!
Unfortunate you come to that conclusion.
Who knows what kind of financial arrangement Michael has with some of these people?
I hope he does file libel suits. The truth will have to come out then, whatever it may be.
He may very well be the paragon of a loving husband, but I wouldn't bet a dollar on it at this point.
"That nurse is lying Doug.
Terri cannot form words."
The nurse didn't say she formed words. She said she said "hi", "Mommy". She said she couldn't make the "n" sound for pain. Terri spoke as a brain-injured person speaks; it's not perfect but understandable.
Hi DfU.
It is my understanding that Terri will be denied extreme unction, and then cremated.
Thanks for the post.
I don't expect the family to cash in, but I expect them to go after the man they blame for the death of their little girl. Yes, she is an adult. But anyone who has a daughter, we know that she is always our little girl.
That's what has to stop; people can disagree without being called murderers.
