If as her "husband" states -- "..she died 15 years ago".. is true:
1. Why hasn't he divorced her, and married his new common law wife that has given birth to two of his bastard children.
2. If he won't divorce her -- why not surrender her care to the family that still loves her and wants to work with her..
3. Has the sorry bastard spent ANY of the money on CARE?
4. What has he spent the money on?
5. Why did he wait so many years to "recall" her wish to be left to die in similar circumstances?
The man is NOT a credible "witness" or man.
Semper Fi
I can't wait 'til next week to see Michael Schiavo squirming before Congress. He's going to have to answer the questions you posed and many more. For example, why hasn't he allowed Terri out of hospice into the fresh air for over three years? For God's sake! And why has Terri been dumped in hospice where she receives no therapy/rehab? Why has he not allowed a swallow test lately in light of new developments and advances in the field? Why has he, Terri's legal guardian, allowed Terri's arms to become malformed (which is irreversible). Why did he neglect Terri's dental care? Why did he not file proper guardianship reports? Etc etc etc etc etc.
The Hospice administrator also is supposed to testify. Can't for that!!! She has been a party to Terri's abuse, neglect and exploitation. She has broken the law by housing Terri in hospice. You're supposed to be terminally ill and expected to die within six months for hospice to kick in. Terri isn't dying (well, except for STARVATION) and in fact Terri has never been even sick.
Can't wait 'til next week. Hope Terri is still around. She's the only innocent party in this whole mess and they want her outta here!
I have learned many important lessons through all of this - one is that I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF HOSPICE NOW! And I used to have such a great image in my mind about hospice. I think I'll make an advance directive that says: "If I am ever incapacitated, please please don't put me in a hospice!"
