Remember that the argument in Schiavo's first lawsuit was that he needed to be awarded financial damages because he wanted to go to college, to become a nurse, so he could care for his wife. And then, when he doesn't go to college, he remembers that she wanted to die! HE LIED!

Did he ever say that under oath? If so could it be construed as perjury?

I believe it was entered in the court record... maybe not.

But, I don't think it would be perjury... because if I won a civil judgement against a hospital, and said that I would spend that money on a Cat Scan for the hospital, but I don't actually do this, doesn't it only prove I have a poor character? It isn't like he PROMISED the court he was going to go to college. He could come up with hundreds of excuses as to why he didn't go to college.

'...Lazzara also asked for part of the court transcript from a medical malpractice trial in Nov. 1992, when Schiavo sued Terri's doctors for not having diagnosed her physical condition. He claimed it was the likelihood that she was bulimic that led to her collapse, a condition her doctors should have caught.

Schiavo told the six-member jury that he needed money for his wife's future care. He said he was studying to be a nurse "because I enjoy it and I want to learn more about how to take care of Terri."

When asked by his lawyer how he felt about being married to Terri at that point in time, he answered: "I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my wedding vows."

Asked to explain further, he said, "I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that."

He did not testify that Terri had, years before, told him she wouldn't want to be fed or kept alive "by artificial means." That claim came later.....'
