......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.

I would like to see polls on this sort of thing combined with a true/false quiz, and plot which combinations of answers generate what results. To avoid "push polling", the questions would range from things which are obviously true, to those which are obviously false, to those that an uninformed person might guess to be true or false.
If someone doesn't know that Michael has moved in with his mistress, fathered two children by her, and has openly promised to marry her, the person's opinion that the husband should have authority doesn't impress me much. If somebody did know all those things and still thought he should have such authority, that might be more noteworthy.
Bump!
They dropped the poll in favor of Blake. Maybe they didn't like the trend.
It's polls like this that make me recall Churchill dictim about "democracy being a very bad form of government." He added that all the others are so much worse, but sometimes I wonder.
Thanks for the ping.
The "comatose" TERRI, sure looks like she is alert and aware and recognizes Michael in that picture.
How many wives wouldn't DIVORCE a husband like that? In most states that would be automatic grounds for divorce. Unfortunately, Terri is in no position to begin divorce proceedings.
The whole thing is such a ridiculous FARCE.
And I just LOVED the pictures of JODI, the mother of Michael's children and live-in girlfriend, with Terri. /sarcasm/
Robert, I am so sorry that I missed this ping alert until now! I see that some have made their way here already, and for that I am grateful!
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
Good job! Thanks!
Part I is public record!! It was a Jury trial.
Your wife is right and as to the Court, George Greer is CORRUPT and in bed with Schiavo, the Hospice, and the Lawyer for Schiavo!! If you delve into this story, it will SHOCK your socks off and then you should be fighting mad that it could happen this way AT ALL!! A Jury Award awarded SPECIFICALLY for Rehabilitation and care for a life expectancy of 50 years and the minute the cheque is cut, Michael Schiavo STOPS ALL Rehabilitation, transfers Terri to a HOSPICE and the money is spent on a Lawyer ($400,000) and the rest on himself and his new girlfriend who he lives with and has two children with, and MEDICAID pays for ALL of Terri's care what little there is. However, THAT Hospice probably charges $2000 to $2500 per month for Terri to lay there with NO treatment just three tube feedings a day. Schiavo would NOT even allow her to have an antibiotic for a urinary infection. He's a criminal along with Judge Greer and George Felos and the operator the Hospice.
What is wrong with the people that live in Pinellas County then? Very few decent people would condone such OPEN CORRUPTION which is intended to end in a MURDER that failed in the first instance. The Law Enforcement in your county even REFUSED to open an investigation into the curious circumstances of Terri's sudden collapse immediately following a fight with this 6'6" MONSTER.
