Persistent and Loyal Friends of Terri and of the U.S. Constitution,
I'm home from today's hearing which was held at the Criminal Courthouse Complex on 49th Street, Clearwater before Judge W. Douglas Baird.
Once I collect my thoughts from today's hearing which just adjourned about a half an hour ago, I'll post them here. Initially, I wasn't going to do any reporting re: the hearing but it was enlightening.
I learned today in the hallway that Terri's parents, siblings and other relatives are still unable to see her some three weeks later due to the criminal investigation of what may have been mosquito bites. But, that's a different legal matter.
This is Terri's 41st day of forced isolation from her parents, siblings,
priest, those who love her and her 1490th day confined to just a single
small room by Hospice of the Florida Suncoast (give or take a few days
of having to be in the hospital from neglect and almost being
dehydrated/starved to death).
Just when you thought the bottom of the barrel was being reached. now there
is a fax from Michael Schiavo's attorney Deborah Bushnell that the
Schindlers could be permitted to visit their daughter if they pay for an off
duty police officer to accompany them (arranged by Deborah Bushnell & Co. of
course):

Re: Schiavo, Theresa - #1834 -Guardianship
Dear Pat:
I received your fax dated May 4, 2004.
We inquired of Hospice as to whether they would allow their
security officers to be in the room during Robert and Mary
Schindlers' visitation. To date, we have not received their
consent to this arrangement, and it does not seem likely that
such an arrangement can be made with them in the near future.
In the interim, the Schindlers may visit Terri in the presence
of a security officer. However, we would have to make private
security options. If your clients are agreeable to paying the
cost of such supervision, please let us know, and we will
follow up to make arrangements for the visitation and let you
know the cost.
Sincerely,
<signed>
Deborah A. Bushnell

Terri is denied any extensive/comprehensive range of motion therapy or any
kind of therapies that could make her better. Terri is not terminal yet
Michael Schiavo is trying hard to make it so. AHCA's April 1st investigation
didn't see anything wrong with Terri's teeth yet shortly after their
investigation 5 teeth were completely removed from her mouth, with no
restorative work considered. How could the AHCA not have noticed anything
wrong? The surveyors notes of this investigation are a must read. They show
to what lengths Hospice of Florida Suncoast, Michael Schiavo, etc. are going
to deceive investigators to cover up the fraud and criminal neglect they are
committing upon Terri, the people of Florida, United States and the world.
The AHCA appears to be complicit in aiding and abetting these crimes. These
Chapter 119 documents are available upon request.
There is a big question: WHAT ARE YOU AND YOUR FEDERAL AND
STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DOING ABOUT BRINGING THE
PERPETRATORS TO JUSTICE? Contact the senators for your district and
ask them what can be done, there are any number of actions that can be
taken.
Contact as many people as you can (governmental and non-governmental)
about Terri's plight. Make stickers, bumper stickers, licence plates,
posters, etc.
Be creative, do take action.

The Terri Schiavo Case Schiavo's parents demand visitation The Schindlers file a motion to force Terri Schiavo's husband to let them see their daughter. By WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, Times Staff Writer Published May 12, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ST. PETERSBURG - The parents of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, who have been barred or restricted from visiting their daughter for a month and a half, are asking a Pinellas-Pasco judge to force her husband to let them in. In a motion filed this week, Bob and Mary Schindler say Michael Schiavo hasn't allowed them free access to their daughter since March 29. At that time, Schiavo barred visitation after his attorney told reporters that puncture marks were found on Mrs. Schiavo's arm after a visit by the Schindlers. The Schindlers denied doing anything to their daughter. On May 5, one of Michael Schiavo's attorneys wrote the Schindlers' attorney a letter saying they could visit if they hired a private security guard. They have refused to do so. "This family is enduring a nightmare all because of a staged incident," the Schindlers' attorney, Pat Anderson, said in a statement. "Terri's mother cannot even see her own daughter, comfort her, touch her or interact with her." George Felos, an attorney for Michael Schiavo, said it is appropriate to restrict visitation because a Clearwater police investigation of the puncture wounds is ongoing. He also said the parents have attempted to profit from their daughter by offering a videotape of Mrs. Schiavo in exchange for donations of $100 or more to a fund to pay the Schindlers' lawyers. Felos said the Schindlers videotaped their daughter in violation of a court order. "Because these issues are ongoing, we believe the safest course to protect Terri is to have the Schindlers' visitation supervised," Felos said. Anderson, however, said in an interview that Felos has no right to do so and that his client took measures to bar the parents without court approval, which she said he must receive. Felos disagreed, saying approval is not necessary in an emergency situation. "The guardian can use his best judgment to protect the ward," Felos said. Anderson, however, said Michael Schiavo's actions are illegal. "Terri has a retained right to have visitors," Anderson said. "That's an absolute right. You can't lock people away like it's solitary confinement just because they're incapacitated." A judge is expected to decide the issue later this month, though a date has not been set. Michael Schiavo says his wife has been in a vegetative condition for over 14 years and cannot recover. Her parents disagree and have been fighting him in the courts to stop his efforts to remove her feeding tube. [Last modified May 12, 2004, 01:54:10]
