Terri Schiavo's Parents File Appeals

Attorneys for Terri Schindler Schiavo's parents on Monday filed a slew of new motions with the judge who ordered the disabled woman's food and water to be withdrawn -- and also with a Florida appeals court.

Attorney Barbara Weller said the parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, are seeking to prevent their daughter's court-ordered death by starvation and dehydration.

The motions were filed after Florida 6th Judicial Circuit Judge George W. Greer ordered Schiavo's execution by removal of food and water to commence March 18.

"We have motions everywhere," Weller told CitizenLink today. "We filed 15 motions with Judge Greer and two motions with the 2nd District Court of Appeals appealing Judge Greer's order. After all, the judge has issued the equivalent of a death sentence. And death sentences in Florida are supposed to be reviewed."

Weller said one of the Schindlers' motions asks the judge to approve a petition for divorce for the brain-disabled woman, citing open adultery on the part of Terri's husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo. The parents also want to compel Michael Schiavo to answer questions about his guardianship; and are seeking a motion to remove him as guardian, citing his failure to comply with Florida law.

The Schindlers are also seeking an updated neurological evaluation of their daughter's capabilities, based on new MRI testing protocols, as well as the authority to provide Terri with any updated rehabilitation she needs to stay alive.

Bruce Hausknecht, legal analyst for Focus on the Family, said it is extraordinary that Terri's parents have been forced to file so many appeals -- and to take the step of asking the Florida Court of Appeals to keep their daughter alive.

"Judge Greer should have granted the stay in the first place to allow time for these very serious matters to be heard," Hausknecht said. "To stop the clock on Terri's life on March 18 while motions are pending in her guardianship is to totally abdicate his duties as a judge and shows a total disregard for her right to life."

Interestingly, members of the news media have also filed motions with Greer to be allowed to visit Terri to see themselves what condition she is in.
