KING: True, you have a girlfriend?

SCHIAVO: Yes. And I am very fortunate...

KING: Does it hurt the situation, do you think, as the way the public might look at you?

SCHIAVO: From their side, I'm sure. But you know something? I'm fortunate to have two women in my life that I love very much. My girlfriend right now has done more for Terri than her own mother did. She shopped for her. She washed her clothes.

KING: How do you feel about all this? In your gut, how do you feel? You could have walked away, Michael.

SCHIAVO: I could have. But I love my wife. And I'm going to follow her wish. And nothing's going to stop me.

KING: She mentioned a child. You don't have a child do you?

SCHIAVO: Yes, I do.       

KING: With your girlfriend?

SCHIAVO: Yes.

KING: I see.

Q. How do you feel about being married to Terri now?

SCHIAVO: I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my - I believe in my wedding vows.

Q. What do you mean? You want to take a minute?

SCHIAVO: Yeah.

Q. If the court would let us take a minute.

Q. You okay?

SCHIAVO: Yeah, I’m sorry.

Q. Have - you said you believe in your wedding vows. What do you mean by that?

SCHIAVO: I believe in the vows that I took with my wife. Through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.

Q. Are you presently – you’re married to Terri Schiavo, correct?

SCHIAVO: Yes I am.

Q. Are you presently involved in a romantic relationship with anyone?

SCHIAVO: Yes I am.

Q. Are you involved in an intimate relationship with this person.

SCHIAVO: Yes I am.

SCHIAVO: I was in one other relationship.

Q. Was it an intimate relationship?

SCHIAVO: Yes.

Q. What did you do with your wife's jewelry?

Memory Problems

Sept 27, 1999 Deposition

January 27, 2000 Trial Testimony

1992 Deposition

Q: Did Terri have any medical issues that she discussed with you after you were married?

SCHIAVO: As far as the missed periods – I’m trying to think here. I can’t recall anything right now. I can’t recall.

Q: Did she have any surgeries that you were aware of after you were married, prior to February 1990?

SCHIAVO: I don’t recall. I don’t think so. I’m not saying yes, I’m not saying no. I don’t recall.

Q: By the way, Mr. Schiavo, all the times that Terri has been hospitalized, how many times would you say Terri has been hospitalized?

SCHIAVO: Hospitalized?

Q: For the various medical problems you testified to before.

SCHIAVO: Twenty times.

Q: Has she ever been in the hospital one day when you were not there?

SCHIAVO: No. She has not.

Q: How many times has Terri gone to the doctor?

SCHIAVO: Over a hundred, 130.

Q: What are your parents’ names?

SCHIAVO: Claire and Bill.

Q: Is Claire with an “e” at the end?

SCHIAVO: Actually, it’s CLARA.

Q: “R-A”?

SCHIAVO: Or something like that.

 

Weight and memory problems

1992 Deposition

November 1992 Trial Testimony

 

Q: How did you feel about her weight? By this, I mean, you know, you dated her and you married her when she weighted something around 145 pounds, and then she was now, at this period of time, weighing in the area of 120. What was your feeling with regard to her weight – one way or another?

SCHIAVO: I – I never really thought about it that much. You know, I – you know, Terri was my wife, I didn’t marry her because of her weight, you know, I – I never really noticed – I mean, a real decline in her weight. I mean, she would lose weight and then she would gain it and she would – you know, and I never paid attention to it. I didn’t think I had to.

Q: Did there come a time when you got concerned about the fact that Terri was getting skinnier than you wanted her to and did you talk to her about it:

SCHIAVO: I mentioned it a couple times to her and got to the point where a couple times when she took off her blouse or something at night, I could see her bones, collarbones and shoulder bones would stick out, and I’d mention, Terri – enough is enough. Let’s gain a little weight now and that was that.

 


 

Relationship with Terri’s Family       

Dateline 2001

Statement of Michael Schiavo October 20, 2003

Larry King Live aired October 27, 2003

Dateline: Can you understand how two people see their child in the condition and Terri is now and want nothing less than a miracle.

 

SCHIAVO:  I certainly can.  I am not a parent.  And I’m sure it’s horrible for a parent to lose a child.  But they’ve had ten years of also hearing doctors telling them, there’s nothing we can do for Terri, there’s nothing we can do for Terri.

“For over 6 years, I have struggled with the Schindlers in court. On Wednesday, I joined them in grief. I understand what the Schindlers are going through at this time. I feel the same loss.”

KING: And what, Michael, is their motive?

SCHIAVO: What their motive is?

KING: In order to keep their daughter alive. They don't have a motive, do they?

SCHIAVO: Probably just to make my life hell, I guess.

Hey there. It also took me a while to figure out the Terri Schiavo case. Once I figured out that:
-Michael Schiavo is a charlatan & liar
-that Terri has a family that aches to take care of her
-that her condition is hardly comatose
-that she's not hooked up to machines
I changed 180 degrees

"I have to ask how anyone can defend this depraved monster?"

It's a good question Gary, but many on here defend him vehemently, and call the rest of us "over the top".

Would anyone want Michael Schiavo to be their nurse?

I pointed out on another thread the inconsistencies between statements he made on Larry King and in court testimony. On King's show he claimed that Terri and he had been watching TV programs when she told him she didn't want to be kept alive on tubes or be a burden to anyone. Then in court testimony he stated that it was during the time her grandmother was hospitalized that they discussed it. He fabricates his stories and then can't even stick to the story.

Did you ever think you would see that on Free Republic, off all places? And not from newbies, either.

I don't Michael killed her or anything like that. I think she's a pain in the ass for him and has been since she became ill. It's very difficult taking care of someone in her condition, and if he wanted to divorce her and be done with it, I could understand that choice on a certain level. But what's happening now is shameful. He's a creep.

Then how do you explain two different nurses stated they were convinced Michael gave insulin injections to Terri at various times? One even found the empty insulin shot in the trash covered up. I still have to ask how anyone can defend this depraved monster?

"At the request of Michael Schiavo's attorney, Judge George Greer has banned cameras and video equipment from her room..."

Gee, if being starved to death is such a "euphoric state," you'd think they'd want everyone to see it.

/sarcasm

It's about a court accepting the lies of Michael Schiavo.

It's about an entire court system, every court of competent jurisdiction from Greers, to SCOFLA, to the Federal court system, to SCOTUS. The entire system permitted this outcome.

He's probably lied about that too and gave Terri's rings to his live-in girlfriend.

Ping. Most of this isn't impressive but the one under "Memory Problems" (4th table down) is... weird, to say the least.

Oh, and the Snooze Button was the greatest productivity bottleneck in America. Until the Internet... ;)
