I call that not having anything to do with the legal process.
I see him as a lying creep. JMO.
Let's also not forget that MS's lawyer is a euthanasia nut.
Talk about a conflict of interest.
I heard that only HIS relatives not hers are saying that Terri said she wouldn't want to live this way. It's strange that he holding onto all that money AND his relatives heard her say that. Why didn't they speak up before the courts awarded Michael the money to take care of the wife he said he wanted to take care of until he died. Could there be financial motive on more than one persons part? Disgusting!
"I try to always be fair and listen and frankly in the end we may disagree but we do so based on an intellectual and respectful discussion"
I would like to say, FMC, that I have supported you (in my own way) in the past and I couldn't agree more, in a sense, but I also know that Terri's husband hasn't done didly squat to help her.
It just makes me so sad.
I was explaining this to my daughter, and the first words out of her mouth were, "Seimei hoken." Life insurance.
Has anybody checked into the existence of a policy that would give Schiavo a nice little nest egg if she dies?
Endangered tree frogs and sea turtles have more federal recourse to be 'heard' in the system then this disabled woman...where is the wisdom of Solomon?
Michael Schiavo withheld medical records from the parents of Terri for 10 years. Terri has some broken bones that are very hard to explain.
Terri is able to talk -- though one source says it is only a way of saying "yes" or "no".
I have to go by the Bible on this one -- "only a good tree produces good fruit, a bad tree produces bad fruit".
Michael was entrusted with $2 million for the care of Terri [results of several lawsuits]. Very little has been spent on Terri after he won the $1 million lawsuit.
Michael has spent large sums of money with the "right to die" lawyer. Why? Seems like you might want to err on the side of life.
Finally, if Terri gets better and is able to communicate, what might she say. Is there something Michael is afraid Terri will say?
The judge in this case is breaking the law by being the presiding judge and guardian of Terri -- it is against Florida law.
So there are a lot of irregularities.
Why does Michael want to cremate the body immediately on death>?
Will an autopsy disclose something?
After the pronouncments of Tom DeLay and Bill Frist regarding him, the entire jury pool is tainted beyond repair.
Of course, there is not now and never has been any such evidence, so those hoping against hop efor it to come from a brain-damaged woman who "wakes up" are to put it mildly, pi$$ing in the wind.
Well, I think you're right that we should hear all sides. We must also judge what we hear from them on the various merits, motivations, and perspectives. I haven't followed this case as closely as some Freepers, so I'm not going to judge any of the players.
I will say that I find it very difficult to accept what is going on today from a societal standpoint. A just people doesn't starve people to death. We treat condemned prisoners better and we'd charge someone who treated an animal this way with a felony.
I would rather have gone to heaven 15 years ago, then to remain in a persistent vegetative state.
Which is part of the wrongful propaganda put out by Mikey and the hurry-up-and-die-cause-you-are-creeping-us-out Dinasour Media crowd. She is NOT in a persistent vegetative state. She is mentally handicapped state but not vegetative.
That was funny. Is Number 2 Robert Blake? Man, age has not been kind to him, has it? Plus, what's with the expression on his face? Schiavo's an Italian name, but he looks a little German! Northern boy, I guess. We Central/Southern Italians call boys like him POLENTONE! 'Cause their enarmored with polenta.
Yes. In order to assume that he faithfully (albeit still murderously) executes his promise to Terri, we need to explain why he broke his marital vows to the same woman, and why did he recall that 7 years down the road.
Yet, the article says some people think different. In my opinion, their testimony is full of holes.
I hope he isn't able to collect or spend one dime of Terri's insurance money!!!!!!!!
A couple of mil is chump change in a malpractice case, particularly where the charge was that the doctors overlooked bulimia.
I do not see compassion in his heart for her plight for if he did possess on ounce of humane feeling he'd never kick Terry's family out of her hospice room. He'd never not want her to receive food and water.
And, most of all he would have let her parents who genuinely love their daughter see to her needs.
I'm sure he is striving for sympathy for his actions and justification for demanding she die in such a brutal and barbaric manner.
Also, what's the harm of an open window, or pushing her outside on a beautiful day? Even if his belief is that she will die tomorrow, what harm is that? He dienies her even the simplist of things.
There's a reason. He does not want her to get better. Why? (that's rhetorical)
Of course, there is not now and never has been any such evidence, so those hoping against hop efor it to come from a brain-damaged woman who "wakes up" are to put it mildly, pi$$ing in the wind
Your grasp of medical reality is sadly lacking. Things that killed 10-15 years can be treated now. We have NO idea what the future can bring. Where there is life, there is hope. The Parents are willing to take up the burden of hope. What is it that makes you people so desperate to kill this woman?
