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.

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.

SCHIAVO: Yes.

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.

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.

I think lots of stuff about this lunkhead will come out after Terri dies. I just heard a very rational sounding nurse who took care of Terri talk about Michael on Foxnews. He's a bum. It will all come out, but too late for poor Terri.

Terri isn't just a pro life issue. It's about a stinker of a judge and legal establishment in Pinellas County. It's about a court accepting the lies of Michael Schiavo. It's a total miscarriage of justice and human fairness. Terri's family never abandoned her and are treated like trash by the court system. Their "crime" was wanting to see their severely disabled daughter live. Her family is heroic. I have tremendous respect for their Catholic right to life attitude.

I have been telling people the same thing. Da judge and michael shivo have no idea what they have unleashed. There are now, as we speak, maybe hundreds of bloggers, news people, pi's and others that are digging into their backgrounds. There will be things come to light that both of them thought was buried so deep that nobody ever would find out. There will be things come out that they have forgotten about.....

none of the info will save Terri, but the judge and michael will long for a return to the good old days before they decided to starve Terri to death.

I am glad we agree on this old friend. I started out leaning the other way, but changed my mind. Especially after I saw the lunkhead on TV. Blech.

Somewhere out in blogland or terri's sites is a note that in 1991, a handwritten by Schiavo on the rehab plan for Terri was made calling Terri PVS, prior to any medical or legal ruling of same. 1991.

Ok, he had a later relationship with someone he first knew about 6 months before Terri's "accident". Makes one wonder if there was something going on then.

He's a nurse now - I'd like to know if he had had CPR training before Terri's "accident" - since he didn't give her CPR, which even someone not trained would try - at least to give her mouth to mouth for oxygen

I have now heard four former nurses speak regarding Terri and Michael. It was the opinion of all four that Terri is not in a PVS. Three said Terri can swallow, which is one of the main tests determining a PVS. They also stated Michael was a bully and controlling. He does not allow anyone to attempt to feed her, nor to give any water. Her only food and water is administered through the feeding tube. He has not allowed anyone to brush Terri's teeth resulting in the removal of 5 teeth. He does not allow anyone to open the drapes so light can get in the room, nor does he allow them to take her out of the room. He also erases many of the notes nurses have made in the medical records. He has denied her medical tests and treatment since 1993. I have to ask how anyone can defend this depraved monster?

Excellent work! I remember reading the police report, it also stated MS said he was sleeping and heard a thud.

Can you send this to Jeb and the Att. General of Florida? Heck I'd send it to the DOJ.
