MICHAEL SCHIAVO'S LEGAL FLIP-FLOP
Robert Drobot | 22 Feb 2005 | Robert Drobot

Posted on 02/22/2005 4:56:11 AM PST by Robert Drobot

......he was going spend the rest of his life comforting and caring for his beloved......

This is what the jury heard, when Michael Schiavo sought an award of lifetime compensation in the care for his disabled wife, Terri.

Very noble. Schiavo was clear. HE was going to do for Terri what HE KNEW, without equivocation, he wanted to provide to Terri.

LIFETIME care.

There was no issue from the then loving and devoted husband about his wife wanting to die; at least when the goal was winning a jury award.

Did he intentionally lie to a jury, in order to collect money - all the while knowing Terri wanted no care of any kind?

Could he actually have forgotten this life changing detail during the malpractice trial?

The lawyers defending against his lawsuit could and would have had the suit dismissed, had they known Terri's alleged wishes.

The prize was a million plus. So what harm can come from a little fudging.

Michael took the check to the bank.

Now Cometh Part II - Cutting Losses

Comes now the 'flash from the past'; 'total recall'; a 'back to the future' moment'.

As though holding hands around a table, Michael AND some of HIS biologicals have a revelation. They see Terri telling them she does not want care of any kind.

Compelled by this ethereal message, they search out a lawyer who will gleefully do their bidding. He is turn finds a judge unworthy of the name, and Terri's fate is officially decreed.

Government Administered Death by starvation. A death reserved for innocents, lacking the ability to speak in their own behalf, and that's the best part - the victim can't communicate - or so says the court - having NEVER observed the victim.

Michael stroked that malpractice jury with tales about how he was devoting his life to the care and comfort of his wife. It was enough to make one and all shed a tear. Oscar stuff, some might have said.

.......but that was before he deposited what now has the appearance of ill gotten gain.

BEHOLD THE SMOKING GUN?

Is this not the smoking gun? The legal 2x4 attorneys could/can/should be using to smack MS up-side the head, but in all these years they haven't (Have they?) used!?!?!?!?

This is the stuff of a Shakespearian play; a Hitchcock thriller. A classic tale of diabolical deceit, and a morally corrupt court facilitating the perfect murder of an innocent woman unheard and unseen.

It is Michael who managed a well timed epiphany.

It is Michael who does a legal flip-flop, which will rid himself of unwanted responsibility; unwanted commitment; unwanted celibacy/sexual contact.

He finds he must act with all of the ways and means at his disposal to meet, he says, now, the will of his beloved, his one and only love ( Yes, it's true about his fathering two kids, while his beloved lies crippled, but hey he says he's got Terri's interests at heart.)

He now knows his purpose. Have the state do to Terri what he didn't tell that jury he was going to do.

KILL TERRI

In the film Kill Bill, the gal is no longer bed ridden, and proceeds to do her own form of justice on those who sought her end.

I would be a good end to this horrific story for Terri to fully recover from whatever/whomever put her in the hospital, and watch justice have its turn at bat.

Why doesn't the court ask these questions?

Find out how Good ole' Judge Greer got his JUDGESHIP and you will find the answer to your question.

Find out why this case has controlled by GREER since the beginning. Funny, that it has never gone to any other judge (other than for their review).

Find GREER's roots, find out WHO PUT HIM IN OFFICE, and how it was DONE ILLEGALLY.

Then you will know, who he is and WHAT MASTER HE SERVES.

I contacted the insurance fraud people:
Thank you for contacting the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.

I don't know the answer to your question without more details. But filing a major lawsuit can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees with no guarantee the plaintiff will ever see a penny. That's why insurance companies don't take civil action more often.

Why don't insurance companies sue to recover their funds that are not used for the purpose they were granted?
Case, Terri Schiavo was granted 1.7 million, but within a month of having the award in hand, Michael Schiavo had hired an attorney to ...... He had stopped all therapy, and medial attention. I doubt a jury would have awarded that amount if he had said she wanted to die. Therefore, he was either seeking to gain the funds for his personal use or he is lying now as he claims she told him she wanted to dies years before her "accident". A curious mind wants to know.
Please respond.

I am rip-roaring pissed off after reading this. And guess what? I've lived in Pinellas County long enough to know that gross micarriages of justice are not the exception, they are the rule. Damn that place.

I rarely post here but wanted to say what a great article on the legal flip flop. Here is a link to what ran in the St. Petersburg Times after the malpractice award. Makes very interesting reading especially where the attorney for the SCHIAVO's makes the point that, "you can tell she has some sense of her predicament." 1992 Malpractice Settlement

I read this. There is clearly something very rotten going on. It's so obvious it reads like a cheap detective novel. "In nursing home due to heart attack brought on by eating disorder?" If it weren't so tragic and abominable, it would be comic.
