Lets see, first Michael Schiavo beats and strangles his wife Terri, leaves her lying unconscious on the floor until her family arrives to get her to the hospital.
Then Michael Schiavo sues the hospital for $20 million because he needs the money to get his poor wife therapy.
Then Michael Schiavo pockets the money, denies his wife the care he said she needed and finally, claims she really wants to die.
Michael Schiavo killed his wife Terri's cat, melted down her wedding ring and then took up with his girlfriend and lives with her today with their children. Does this sound like a loving husband who really cares about his wife's wishes?
And what do we get on the tube every hour on the hour: “persistent vegetative state” as though any of the talking heads who ghoulishly proclaim Terri's life isn't worth that of a convicted serial killer sitting on death row (for 20 years, while due process goes on).
Michael Schiavo's supporters claim he loved his wife Terri enough to take a nursing degree so that he could take care of her. I think he got that nursing degree so he could inject her with insulin and hasten her death and his complete claim to all the money he won in litigation.
Just take a gander at the sworn testimony of an attending nurse: Carla Sauer Iyer (affidavit* below) but let me save you some time and report a quote of Michael Schiavo's after visiting his still living wife: "When is that bitch gonna die?"
Hmmm. Loving husband or man so afraid of not only not getting the money (what's left of the $20 million) but the prospect of facing a jury for his attempted murder, a charge which is possible as long as Terri lives. Sounds like motive to me.
Michael Schiavo says Terri said she never wanted to be kept alive on machines. Okay. Even if that was her statement (which there is absolutely no corroborating testimony and quite the unusual statement coming from a young, newly married woman still in her twenties and full of life); Terri is not being kept alive by machines!
Terri has a feeding tube from which she gets food and water. Had she had the care and therapy she was entitled to, there is every chance today Terri would be divorced from that louse and feeding herself just fine.
About that “loving husband” crapola: what husband do you know evinces his marital fidelity and love by living with another woman, having children with that woman and dumps his wife in a hospice while waiting for her to die? What loving husband kills his sick wife's pet? What loving husband denies his wife's family visitation?
I ask these questions because the media morons are still stuck with their new term: “persistent vegetative state” and are oblivious to the actual facts of this tragic case.
Continued
I heard about that remark on the 700 Club, hopefully the judge would rule in her favour and let her live.
On what basis did he sue the hospital and how much was he awarded?
Michael mentions that he heard a strong last gasp coming from Terri that night. I think Michael thought she was DEAD.
Don't forget about the proceeds from Movie and Book deals!
My guess is that if she looked like a vegetable, her "husband" would be calling reporters in by the droves. His control freak response is a tell...
You're making a lot of claims that you'll have to support. Where's the evidence he tried to kill his wife and the evidence he killed a family pet. Not to mention melting down a wedding ring.
If that's all hearsay then it doesn't belong in the discussion.
This may be factual, but there is no evidence it ever happened.
As far as I'm concerned, unless there is hard medical evidence of such things, it should not be repeated.
To me, this is very much like Michael claiming "Terri said" and doesn't do those of us who think Terri shouldn't be killed any favors.
Culture of death bump
The melting down of the wedding ring I believe is established fact.
However, the beating of Terri has not been established as fact, near as I can tell.
Glenn Beck played a call last week from the woman who was his "first fling" post-Terri. She said Michael was a major-league control freak.
Factually speaking, her HUSBAND, no matter what anyone thinks ABOUT him, IS the Next of Kin and LEGALLY, has the ONLY right to decide. Her parents, according to the LAW should lose the lawsuit. You may not like it but there it is.
AND
The DAMN GUBMINT has ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS in this matter.
Is Pat R. going down to pray terri back to tennis playing health? He claims his prayer changed the course of a hurricane, her recovery should be a snap for him.
Exactly. I'd imagine that he would be in prison right now if there was ANY proof that he did that. Heck, you don't even need proof - Look at Peterson getting the death penalty for a conviction with ZERO proof that he killed Laci.
Her feeding tube is important for this moment, but the most important thing is for the court to release Terri from Micheal's 'care', giving her back to the custody of her parents.
Until this is done, she will be under constant threat from any additional 'plans' he may have for her.
"If that's all hearsay then it doesn't belong in the discussion."
I suppose you'd support Terri's right to due process until such claims were validated/invalidated by an exhaustive investigation and court inquiry!?
I read on another thread that he had her cats euthanized. There was speculation on that thread as to why this was done but not substantiated, so I won't repeat it here.
