I'd say this infraction by Hammesfahr was relevant to the Schiavo case. The conman has filled the Schindlers with false hope.

Wait a big hairy minute sir. I went to the page and though Google showed "hammesfahr" as a search term, the name itself does not appear. Netscape "Find in page" also comes up empty.
