My concern is this: after embarrassing himself and his profession by so quickly blaming Terri's parents for Terri's wounds, which he said were puncture wounds caused by a needle, George Felos is now backpedaling, as is the physician who first saw and identified the wounds.

Something is rotten here. And this cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug as is happening here.

There are other stories in the news: the deaths of our people in Iraq, one of whom is from Florida, and the tragic hit-and-run accident in Tampa a few days ago.

But we need to push for an accounting of what has happened to Terri. Esp. now that parents, priests, friends are all barred from seeing her.

Prayerfully submitted. May God help us help Terri in whatever big and little ways we can. We rely on His strength, wisdom, and mercy. May this draw us all to a closer, more honest walk with Him, regardless of where we are starting out!

Michael Schiavo's complaint to police this week is the latest in a series of cruelties inflicted on the Schindlers, their new criminal defense attorney, George Tragos, said Tuesday.

``It's an excuse for him to cut off the family's access. Once again he has cut off the flow of information,'' said Tragos, a former federal and state prosecutor who volunteered to represent the Schindlers.

On the previous thread someone mentioned that a highly credentialed attorney had seen Felos accusing Terri's parents of essentially assaulting her, and became so outraged he immediately volunteered to represent Terri's parents pro bono. Is George Tragos that attorney?

Does anyone know if Tragos is replacing Pat Anderson as lead attorney for the Schindlers, or will he be assisting her? Can we get anymore information about Tragos? I'm wondering if he was a state prosecutor in Florida. That would be a huge benefit to the Schindler legal team.

If there's a spotlight on this criminal investigation and Michael's allegations towards the Schindlers, it could force Michael to make the media rounds again. That would be a good thing. I know a lot of people whose first exposure to Terri's case was seeing MS and Felos on the Larry King show last year. Everyone of them I talked to had concluded that MS was a lowlife and probably a sociopath, and attorney Felos was a book huckster. Remember MS on TV with his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest and his huge gold chains? Remember his explicit and tasteless recounting of Terri's gynecological exams?

In my opinion, Michael Schiavo in the eye of the media is the most effective tool the Schindlers have for influencing public perceptions in Terri's favor. I hope this story puts him there again.

"Michael Schiavo considers it a criminal assault on her person,"

It sure sounds like this was staged.

"``It's an excuse for him to cut off the family's access. Once again he has cut off the flow of information,'' said Tragos, a former federal and state prosecutor who volunteered to represent the Schindlers."

Sounds like this monster, Michael Schifo (mispelling intentional), won't rest until he sees his wife dead.

Prayers for Terri.
