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.

Amen.
"Feeding tube" means the same as the "Umbilical cord" for the NOW feminazis and the far left. In their evil minds both can and should be cut. Murder by any other name is still murder.
Interesting point (your reference to all of this being "hearsay"), but, legally speaking, isn't his claim that, "Terri told me she wouldn't want to live like this" also hearsay - especially in light of the fact that the treatment and rahabilitation he has denied her since was the basis of his lawsuit?
Go back to your DUngeon!
So in that vein, I'm going to ask you a very personal question, which by no means do I want you to answer here on the Internet, unless you feel compelled to do so;
Did either of you ever feel like going out and fathering a couple kids with another woman, while still married to your wife? That's what this man did, and I've never seen anyone make marital vows that included that caveat. Regardless of her vegetative state not withstanding, that is NOT true love. I'm sorry, but it's not.
Of course it's an "artificial treatment." Never in human history have we been able to keep people in her condition alive by inserting a tube directly into her stomach.
Michael's actions are not at all suspicious. One simply cannot disregard the first eight years of his strenuously trying to find a cure for her before giving up and accepting her wishes that she not be kept in a vegetitative state.
Sure he moved on and found another and has several young children. Why do some condemn him for that? He must not be denied the right to find some happiness and a family. His wife effectively died fifteen years ago. Only her physical body is still alive.
When my wife was dying from cervical cancer, we discontinued feeding her several days before she passed away and just focused on keeping her comfortable. Were we guilty of trying to starve her to death?
A good husband doesn't absolve himself of his responsibility to his wife to her parents. I didn't abdicate my responsibility towards my wife but followed her wishes until the very end no matter how opposed my in-laws were.
However, the beating of Terri has not been established as fact, near as I can tell.

That's why Judge Greer has lovingly ordered Mikey to CREMATE Terry
IMMEDIATELY after she dies... with NO AUTOPSY allowed !!!
From what I understand (there is so much conflicting information it is unbelievable) Michael was offered the option of Terry's parents taking over custody of Terry. He could have then just walked away. Why hasn't he done so?
It appears he is bent on killing her. This is morally reprehensible. You know the old saying "just because it is legal doesn't make it right."
No, this is typical of the made-up-from-whole-cloth crap that's been floating around this case.
Sorry, wrong person. I don't have an account there. Do you?
This is precisely why I used the term "artificial treatment" instead of "artificial resuscitation" since never in human history have we possessed the ability to implant a tube directly into a patient's stomach to keep them alive.
People's reactions to tramatic events should NOT be taken as "proof". I tend to laugh at inopportune times, really I can't help it. It drives my wife nuts. The thought that this intrinsic psychological quirk of mine would cause people to think I had done something that I didn't in a COURT OF LAW disgusts me to no end. The fact that Michael moved in with another woman while his wife has been brain dead(I'm not going to debate that part here) since 1990!!!!, means nothing to me. Some people here expect him to lead the life of a priest while his wife is a vegetable for 15 years!!!
In YOUR view.
What IF, Terri had TOLD HIM that she would NEVER want to live in a vegetative state and he was merely FOLLOWING UP on it?
Again, unless you were sitting there listening, you don't know.
"Did I know your niece?
If not, see a shrink, you're a nut job."
You obviously don't think before you open your mouth. That's what my comment was meant to show you. You should think before you make blanket, uninformed judgements.
Like "...see a shrink, you're a nut job."
Indeed it would provide a check and balance. Also, since the 18th century, the level of maturity of many young adults / couples has, sadly, declined so severely, vs 200 years ago, that the parental voice may still be needed in certain cases. Sad but true.
With the resultant nut jobs rising to the fray.
I have heard that the MS's mother worked for the county sheriff.
It's also legally actionable
I have heard this several times....
Also, the spending of the lawsuit money has been approved by the court.
