This is the first article I've seen from this angle.

"He doesn't want this to be public; he wants it to be private."

How odd. This is about as public as anything could be. WHY IS HE HIDING?!

[CHUCKfromCAL]

I find the Schindler family, especially Terri's father, lacking in credibility. They are prone to making unproven accusations against Terri's husband. According to them, he caused her brain damage, he misspent the money, he wants to murder her, and he is hiding the money.

The courts have ruled in the husband's favor on every occasion for 13 years. The Schindlers have not been able to prove any of their allegations against the husband.

This is a sad case of a husband trying to do what he thinks is right and a family that thinks they are right - when there is no "right" answer.

"When did the Florida Legislature decide it couldn't trust its courts? "

Long after most of the rest of the citizens of the state figured it out I am certain.

Are there many citizens in the nation today that really trust our judiciary?

Not to go off on a tangent but, IMHO, the speed at which the institutions and principles from which our "republic" sprang are deteriorating is increasing exponential.

Bob Schindler Jr., 38, Terri Schiavo's brother and a teacher at a Tampa Catholic school, said his family believes the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities will turn up evidence of abuse and neglect in its investigation of Michael Schiavo's guardianship

VDS, maybe send that article you posted in a thread a few days ago to the author of this article?

"I never wanted Terri to die," Michael Schiavo wrote. "I still don't.

The answer's simple then. Don't have her starved.

"I still don't. After … years of desperately searching for a cure for Terri, the death of my own mother helped me realize that I was fooling myself."

I think this is my favorite Michael Schiavo statement. YEARS of searching....I laugh so hard I cry. Maybe he thought that a DNR and no rehabilitation would be the cure. Yeah, that's it....

Something odd about the way this guy is acting. If she really can't sense what is taking place, then why rush her death. On the other hand, if she can sense what is happening, then it is simply murder to remove her feeding tube. His eagerness to have her killed speaks (IMHO) of something else going on.

Felos said. "I think he's unable to live the rest of his life if he walked away knowing he let Terri down and was unable to keep his promise to her."

Well, then WHY did the scumbag get himself a mistress and impregnant her?? Isn't that a broken promise to his wedding vows??
What an effing waste of skin he is.......

"When did the Florida Legislature decide it couldn't trust its courts?"

In 2000. . .something to do with special handling/counting of certain votes.
