EXCLUSIVE
Schiavo Case Tangled Web of Deception, Corruption
By June Maxam and Ginger Berlin

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

How applicable to the Terri Schiavo case.

Virtually as soon as Michael Schiavo received the monies from the medical malpractice claim involving his wife, Terri Schindler-Schiavo, he withheld all therapy and rehabilitation services from her.

Terri Schiavo had sustained a serious brain injury as the result of a suspicious incident in their home in 1990 and in 1992, her husband had filed claims against several of her former doctors, claiming her “collapse” was caused by a misdiagnosis. He received over $1.5 million in 1993 including $750,000 which had been specifically earmarked by the trial jury for Terri’s rehabilitation based on a life expectancy of 50 years.

Mary and Bob Schindler Sr., her parents, consulted a St. Petersburg attorney about removing Michael Schiavo as their daughter’s guardian and discussed the case at length with him.

Unfortunately, the Schindlers did not have the amount of money the attorney demanded as a retainer to take the case.

That attorney became the judge in the case-----a totally prohibited conflict of interest.

Thereafter, the attorney-judge approved the hiring of George Felos as the attorney for Schiavo to be paid from the trust fund and the stage was set for her judicial homicide..

The judge wasn’t George W. Greer.

It was Mark I. Shames.

A governor has the authority to declare a state of emergency; this places all police under his control and voids all judicial rulings for the duration of the emergency. (Usually this is reserved for the aftermath of a hurricane, flood, riot, etc.) In effect, he rules by martial law.

Andrew Jackson and the judges (from a letter of Abraham Lincoln to Erastus Corning, June 12, 1863)

"After the battle of New Orleans, and while the fact that the peace treaty had been concluded was well known in the city, but before official knowledge of it had arrived, General Jackson still maintained military law. . .

"Among other things, a Mr. Louiallier published a denunciatory newspaper article. General Jackson arrested him.

"A lawyer by the name of Morel procured the United States Judge Hall to order a writ of habeas corpus to release Mr. Louiallier. General Jackson arrested both the lawyer and the judge.

". . .A day or two more elapsed, the ratification of the treaty of peace was regularly announced, and the judge and others were fully liberated.

"It may be remarked--first, that we had the same Constitution then as now; secondly, that we had then a case of invasion. . . and thirdly, that the permanent right of the people to public discussion, the liberty of speech and the press, the right of trial by jury, the law of evidence, and the habeas corpus, suffered no detriment whatever by the conduct of General Jackson. . ."

It would be up to the people, then, not the judges, after such a declaration, to decide if Bush exceeded his powers or wisdom in declaring a state of emergency, in order to prevent an innocent woman from being starved to death.
