Pinellas judge extends stay, DCF jumps into Schiavo case
Miami Herald ^ | 2.23.05 | Mitch Stacy

Posted on 02/23/2005 2:12:21 PM PST by gopwinsin04

The Florida Department of Children and Families has moved to intervene into the legal battle over the life of Teri Schiavo. Details of the agency involvement in the case were not immediately available.

The DCF involvement came hours after Florida Governor Jeb Bush told reporters that he would seek a means to intervene in this case.

George Felos, who represents Teri's husband Michael, criticized the DCF move, saying it 'reeks of the intervention of politics' in this case and is an affront to the court.

David Gibbs, attorney for Teri's mother and father, countered there were serious allegiations of abuse in the case. The Schlindlers have accused their son-in-law of mistreating his wife, Michael has emphatically denied the accusations.

Speaking at an afternoon news conference in Tallahassee, Gov. Bush said he was exploring options to block the removal of the feeding tube and called his involvement 'a work in progress.'

Bush said he had received tens of thousands of emails and telephone calls from supporters ecouraging him to keep Terri Schiavo alive. The governor said he is working with his legislative staff to see what can be done.

'People with deep faith and big hearts are concerned, as I am about the circusmstances that Ms. Schiavo is in,' the governor continued.

'I want them to know that I will do what I can.'

Hopefully Jeb will order full medical evaluations for Terri and give her back to the care of her family who LOVE her dearly,and then Prosecute Mr Schiavo for Attempted Murder and a Ton of other charges along with Schiavo's accomplices to include his Lawyers, his brother and live in partner who lied about Terri telling them that she would not want to be on life support.

This means that the abuse allegiations against Michael are going to get some considerion..and probably foster an indefinite delay

I hope so, FRiend, they have a pretty bad name here in SoFlo. Not the sort you'd usually call expecting help.

We have not yet, thanks to God, arrived to a point in this nation where we officially starve a disabled person to death.

I sent him an Email just the other day, that in diplomatic parlance, was "very frank and candid".

Sending out another one now:
"Jeb, just disregard that Email, Okay? You're really a neat guy! I knew it all along."

No, but their earlier investigation was sealed. 700-800 pages worth. By whom and why?

What happens when George W. "Haman" Greer tells the state agency to get out of his jurisdiction in the matter? Greer has already warned Bush about involvement in the case back in 2003.

I won't even say what Michael's attorney reeks of:)

Wise choice. Freepers have been zotted for less foul language than that would require.
