Husband's motives in question
http://washingtontimes.com ^ | 3/22/05 | Joyce Howard Price

Michael Schiavo's legal fight to remove his brain-damaged wife's feeding tube has raised suspicions about his motives from those seeking to continue the feeding to keep his wife alive.

Why, they ask, does this muscular, 6-foot-7 Florida prison nurse refuse to divorce his wife, Terri, even though he has been living with another woman for 10 years and fathered two children with her?

>>Talk to my wife and see if you get an answer. Ask her to lift her arm to shake your hand. She won't do it." <<

Sounds like a loving husband.

Not "she CAN'T do it", but "she WON'T do it". Odd turn of phrase.

Today, Mr. Schiavo lives in Clearwater, Fla., and works as a nurse at the Pinellas County Jail.

Clearwater is pretty much owned by the Scientologists. I wonder if Mr. Schiavo is a Scientologist?

You know - tonight this scum called Tom DeLay a "snake". If you use the "projection" technique which the liberals are so good at (blaming others for what they're doing) .. you find out the husband is probably the one who is the snake.

And .. I would agree with that assessment.

I can't express how Michael creeps me out. I just get a horrible evil vibe from him. If he doesn't suffer for this in this life, I'm sure he will in the next. Of course I'm not his judge but I do have my opinion.

If the husband can claim she would want to die, why can't the parents claim that she would want a divorce since this would be the normal feelings for any woman whom would otherwise have sanity should her husband leave and begin to have children with another woman... Therefore the state should be made to grant a divorce, so the parents who obviously love their daughter as opposed to this cheeting slime ball husband could take charge,,

Deborah Bushnell, an attorney for Mr. Schiavo, described Mrs. Schiavo's mental state, saying, "There's very little cerebral cortex. There's just no thinking brain to respond."

And what tests were done to prove this?

Your post just gave me a thought. The night before Terri's injury she told someone (her parents I think) that she was going to divorce her husband. Isn't that hearsay evidence just as valid as Michaels claim that Terri said she would not want to be kept alive with tubes? Is there any legal precedence anywhere of a divorce being obtained for an incapacitated person based on their stated intention?

Had to clear this up on another thread. Terri told her parents and a friend that she was leaving MS. When someone tells you something directly, and you hear it with your own ears, that is not hearsay. If I told YOU Terri told ME something, and you repeated *what I said * to a 3rd party, such as a court, that is hearsay.

And yes, if she wanted to divorce MS, and told two people about it, should be just as valid as MS's claim that Terri wanted to die.

On CNN Sunday, Bobby Schindler said his brother-in-law stood to gain about $1 million in damages from a malpractice lawsuit he filed and won in late 1992. A jury awarded more than $700,000 for Mrs. Schiavo's care, and Mr. Schiavo received an additional $300,000.

"I don't know the financial situation of Terri's trust fund" today, Mr. Schindler said. He pointed out that Mr. Schiavo promised a jury 13 years ago that the money would be used for his wife's "rehabilitation and therapy."

"The money now has been used to pay Michael's attorneys in an effort to kill her. These financial documents have been sealed by the court," Mr. Schindler said.

Such a loving, devoted husband.

On this planet:

This idiot sounds like he wants to take on Dubya. If Anne Richards, Al Gore, and John Kerry had any compassion in their hearts---which I doubt---they would tell Michael Schiavo to refrain.

But George J. Felos, a Florida lawyer who represents Mr. Schiavo, told The Washington Times in January that "all the money is gone, and there is no insurance."

Let's see the paper trail for the money.

& years later after his engagement he discloses that Terri didn't want to live. He says he promised Terri that he wouldn't divorce her. I suppose she agreed to him becoming engaged to someone else while she was still alive.

Reopen that pic and blow it up. Is her left eye swelled shut? It might just be low resolution and shadows, but she sure looks like she's been in a fight recently in the pic.
