It is the law. I don't care how many times they let Felos get up in front of the cameras and try to portray Michael as "St. Michael," and state he is allowing this to dispel allegations, etc. As long as they also state afterward that Michael has no choice. He chose cremation for Terri, thus the law requires a cremation. Let them tell that after Felos makes his grandiose statement so people see the evil lawyer in action! (Again!)
I have not seen this actual statute on the FR (if I missed it I apologize). However, I thought it might be helpful in quieting this filthy claim of Felos and Schiavo.
First Lady Laura Bush Says
Government Right to Intervene
in Case of Brain-Damaged Florida Woman
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1373437/posts
My father died three years ago in Ocala, FL, at home, but in poor health (CPD). We had him cremated, right away. No questions at all by anyone when we had him cremated.
THANKS....I too, am sick of the repeated lies by the ignorasses....er...ignoramuses.....sorry, spelling got me!
Setting up for his defense in a wrongful death suit?
If there's evidence of spousal abuse, head injury, or proof she wasn't as brain damaged as he and his hired hit men claimed, they'll look at Michael. His lawyer will say: "Since Michael had nothing to hide, he allowed an autopsy to be performed by his own free will."
A few days ago a Freeper posted it on one of the threads. So as soon as Felos and Michael said they would allow an autopsy so everyone would know how damaged Terri's brain was there were some of us who knew they were grandstanding.
Thanks so much for posting it as a thread though as I am sure lots of people never saw it.
I am sick of hearing Michael Schiavo being vilified.
The autopsy is only going to start more tin-foil theories with the Terri was murdered crowd.
Sheesh!
I would have liked to see a little more "active" intervention.
I have posted this before and I will keep posting for all those who may not have seen it.
This tells you exactly what kind of evil person, Michael's Schiavo’s lawyer, Felos is.
Excerpts from George Felos's book, "Litigation as Spiritual Practice" (Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2002) with page numbers About the Jews, George Felos wrote, "The Jewish people, long ago in their collective consciousness, agreed to play the role of the lamb whose slaughter was necessary to shock humanity into a new moral consciousness. Their sacrifice saved humanity at the brink of extinction and propelled us into a new age." (pg 240)
"If our minds can conceive of an uplifting Holocaust, can it be so diffucult to look another way at the slights and injuries and abuses we perceive were inflicted upon us?" (pg 240)
Describing the period he was separated from his ex-wife, "that weekend I experienced rage. Savage, unadulterated, and murderous rage." (pg 6)
Felos wrote about his ex-wife, "To her, I seemed unattractive, sexually unexciting, balding, boring, and just not enough fun to be with....she didn't need me anymore. For her, marriage to me inflicted a fate worse than death. She admitted that for the past year or so she had wished for my death, and whenever I flew hoped the plane would crash." (pg 7)
About his anger towards his ex-wife, "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart." (pg 23)
Describing the period he was recuperating from his divorce, "it consisted mostly of dreams of being tormented in some inferno." (pg 27)
Mrs Browning, do you want to die? Do you want to die? - I nearly shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue eyes. It felt so eerie." (pg 63)
"Whatever your opinion about tube feeding, the hard fact was it now stood between Mrs. Browning and her death." (pg 64)
About Mrs. Estelle Browning "...I carried with me the resolute determination to sever the artificial cord that bound Estelle Browning to this earthly realm. Her agonized cry for release ran though my mind over and over again, and I felt our spiritual bond." (pg 76)
"With my son as catalyst, I felt stirrings of my own early childhood, which was less than idyllic. I unconsciously blamed myself for permitting myself to be abused, and I believed I was, as a child. At some point early in my childhood I self-divided into a protector and the inner essence I was protecting." (pg 48)
While on a plane trip, Felos thought "I wonder what it would be like to die right now?" (pg 181)
Felos wrote that God told him, "You are more powerful than you realize." (pg 182)
About the Estelle Browning case, "I still got a kick that evening seeing myself on the TV news, notwithstanding my frequently displayed countenance in the media of late."
"If I had to urinate, I didn't wait until the next commercial, I immediately got up and went. On the first urge to defecate, I left for the bathroom rather than making one more phone call." (pg 292)
"I can truly say my wife was enamored with me. I suppose power and success really are potent aphrodisiacs - as my spouse had made particularly evident our previous night at the Governor's Inn." (pg 246)
From Here: The Whacky Whacky World of George Felos
Problem is it says as the medical examiner deems necessary, it doesn't say it's the law that an autopsy has to be performed (as much as I too want it to say that).
Been posted, been posted, been posted
Rules 1-12 wouldn't apply to him then. Everything was on the up and up.
In Terri's case , I'd hope they would use the following reasons:
1. Of criminal violence.
5. Unattended by a practicing physician or other recognized practitioner.
7. In police custody.
8. In any suspicious or unusual circumstance.
9. By criminal abortion.
10. By poison.( too much morophine to speed up the starvation)
You don't mean that Mikie didn't "allow" an autopsy to be performed? My faith in his humanity has been shaken to the core....POOT!
It would seem that some folks just don't understand those two little words.
Me too - It's so obvious how much he loves her by the way she is slowly dying of hunger and thirst.
Maybe it's because so many loons on FR have been insisting Judge Greer and Michael Schiavo had conspired to order her instantly cremated without autopsy, and kept right on saying it even after being told it wasn't true.

He should have lost custody of her.
She didn't leave him. He left her for another woman.
bttt
Who cares what they say? They have condemned America in the eyes of 6 billion.
