You know of course, that the Schindler's didn't even get into this fight until after they asked for 1/2 of the malpractice suit $ and Mike told them no.

AFTER that is when they became "advocates."

Shows you what they are made of. Greed.

They wanted money to pay for their daughter's care -- and you call that "greed." Michael wouldn't allow it, and withheld any further rehabilitation from Terry -- and started using her trust fund to pay the death lawyer, Felos, to get a ruling that she should be killed.

This is what Terri was up against.

Here’s where most of the Terri Schiavo Insurance money went:

These funds, the result of a malpractice suit, were meant solely to provide for Terri Schiavo’s care and rehabilitation.



Atty. Gwyneth Stanley - $10,668.05
Atty. Deborah Bushnell - $65,607.00
Atty. Steve Nilson - $7,404.95
Atty. Pacarek - $1,500.00
Atty. Richard Pearse (GAL) - $4,511.95
Atty. George Felos - $397,249.99
1st Union/South Trust Bank – $55,459.85
Michael Schiavo - $10,929.95
Total: $545,852.34





Neglect and abuse complaints is that Michael Schiavo:

* Has not allowed therapy or rehabilitation since late 1992.
* Has prevented swallowing tests or swallowing therapy since 1993.
* Ordered caretakers not to clean Terri's teeth since 1995, resulting in removal of five teeth in April 2004.
* Placed Terri in hospice in 2000, despite the fact she is not terminally ill.
* Refuses to allow Terri to leave her room. She has not been outside since 2000.
* Ordered doctors not to treat Terri when she had a life threatening infection in 1993 and 1995.







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.





The money was then diverted to the Judicide G reer.

Whose condo did Terri and Michael live in when they first moved to Florida? Who took care of the bills for all those years while the lawsuit was going through? Who wanted to be able to pay for rehabilitation and therapy, since Michael was no longer doing so? Who wants to take care of her now that most of the money is long gone?

And, finally, who has been trying to legally kill Terri soon after the money rolled in? You realize that Michael could've starved and dehydrated her to death at his own home, don't you? Of course, an invalid wife is inconvenient when one wants to bring women home. And starving/dehydrating someone to death is illegal...unless you can get a pro-death lawyer, a judge with interesting connections and a hospice willing to defraud the government involved.

Actually, MS was living with them at one time. Maybe it was around this time that the Schindlers realized what a pig their son in law was. Maybe they wanted part of the settlement to take care of Terri with after realizing their POS son in law wasn't going to do Jack $#*@ for her.

That's weird. I read that they all lived together and took care of Terri and that MS said he wanted to build a bigger house with the malpractice money so that they could all take care of Terri and not be so cramped. He got the money based on his statement that he wanted to be a nurse in order to take care of her until she died - which was found (by the court) to be a normal lifespan of 30 to 40 years longer. That's how the settlement was figured - based on the number of years she would live after the shoddy medical treatment. So, the money was received, MS decided against the bigger house and family living arrangements and shortly after that, he remembered Terri telling him she wouldn't want to live in that condition.

It's hard to know exactly what to believe but the one thing I do believe is that it is wrong to starve and dehydrate a human being in order to cause their death.

I actually think that it was about the same time MS decided that Terri didn't "need" anymore therapy and wasn't going to spend a dime of "his"money......
