Terri Schiavo's estranged husband Michael wasted no time in pursuing what was left of Terri's estate after she passed away on March 31. The disabled woman died after suffering from a painful 13 day starvation and dehydration. Terri died just after 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the 31st and court papers filed with Circuit Court Judge George Greer show Michael's attorneys filed the estate request just hours later.
By 1:35 p.m., Greer had ruled in Michael's favor to receive Terri's estate.

>>What estate?
we're talking about lawyers. they'll get whatever it is.
What a joke. Greer got nothing from this except the agony of being attacked by lunatics for upholding the law.
>>>I couldn't make out the cause of death. Is it listed?
I don't think so. Its a shame the T.S. death cert is so fuzzy, but IIRC, the version of a death cert that is available for public viewing never shows the cause of death. You'd have to be an insurance company or else prove some 'need to know' in order to see the second version of the D.C. that contains cause of death.
You can compare the T.S. death cert to
Eleanor Centonze's death cert here:

note that Eleanor's doesn't show an M.E. signature.
I thought all cremations needed an autopsy? Its odd how
they got Greer to sign off on that death in Michael's home without one.
IT'S TIME FOR THE REPUBLICANS
TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP
by Dr. R. L. Hymers, Jr.
Thursday, April 7, 2005
I was raised in a family of "blue collar" Democrats. My first political memory is the dramatic upset victory of Harry Truman over Thomas Dewey in 1948. My grandmother, an old suffragette, literally jumped up and down and yelled "Hallelujah" when we heard on the radio that Truman had defied the Gallup Poll and won! I ran out the back door to tell someone. I can remember all this quite vividly. The first person I met was the lady next door. "Truman won," I shouted to her in childish glee. I can still see her face, though I was only seven years old at the time. She did not smile. She said grimly, "We were for Dewey." I never looked at her the same way again! They were the only people I knew who were Republicans.
As a teenager, in the 1950s, everyone I knew was for Stevenson, not Eisenhower. They told us that we would have to go to school on Saturday if Ike won. Needless to say, I felt crushed when Stevenson lost both times to the Republican candidate.
When Nixon and Kennedy held their debates, I thought Richard Nixon was dangerous. I was reluctantly for Kennedy, even though our Southern Baptist pastor preached against his Catholicism. But I never really liked Kennedy. He seemed too rich and self-assured to me, as a "blue collar" Democrat.
I was glad when Lyndon Johnson became President. He seemed like "one of us." But, as the Vietnam War escalated, I grew more and more disenchanted with him. In 1964 I went to a Young Republicans rally and heard Barry Goldwater in person. A huge crowd of young people chanted "We want Barry! We want Barry!" Goldwater gave an absolutely spine-tingling speech. He said that the Democrats were running the war wrong - that we should fight to win the war quickly and get it over with. I then heard Ronald Reagan introduce Goldwater on TV, at the Republican National Convention, held that year in San Francisco. I bought a Goldwater lapel pin and wore it every day - and I voted for Barry Goldwater. I had become a Republican. From that moment until now I have never voted for a Democrat for national office. I have been a dues paying member of the Republican Party. I even supported Nixon - all the way through Watergate - and long after that. I still think he was a far better man than they said he was.
My whole family finally joined me in voting for Reagan in 1980. We loved him because he, like us, had made the change. As he put it, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. They left me."
But I must confess that I have often questioned the Republicans, especially on the issue of abortion. I wondered why Nixon was silent when the Roe v. Wade decision was made by the Supreme Court in 1973. I wondered why Reagan only made a telephone call, broadcast over loudspeakers, to the huge pro-life rallies in Washington each January, on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. "Why didn't he walk across the street, at least once, and address that rally in person?" I wondered.
The years dragged on - for three decades - and all we got from the Republicans was a wink and a nod - and a couple of sentences in the State of the Union address each January. This year we didn't even get that! Pat Buchanan and Peggy Noonan, and a few others, noticed this omission. I knew something was wrong. The Republicans talked about being pro-life, but when were they going to do something about it? You see, to an old "blue-collar" Democrat-turned-Republican, right to life is the most important civil rights question America faces today.
By now about 45 to 46 million children have died in the Abortion Holocaust. The Republicans sent troops into Iraq quickly. No problem. They put through the oil pipeline in a national park in Alaska quickly. No problem. But somehow the Republicans just can't seem to do anything about abortion. There are a great many of us who have gnawing questions about this. Pro-life Republicans and "swing vote" Democrats are not going to wait much longer. I sense that it's time for the Republicans to "put up or shut up."
Christianity Today (April, 2005, p. 30) quotes John Kerry, in a January, 2005 speech, saying, "I don't want abortion. Abortion should be the rarest thing in the world." In that same Christianity Today article, Howard Dean, the leader of the Democratic Party, said, "We are not pro-abortion! There is not anyone I know who is pro-abortion." And the article quoted Hillary Clinton describing abortion as "a sad, even tragic choice." Last week Jesse Jackson, a leading Democrat, went and stood outside Terri Schiavo's hospice, and plainly spoke in favor of pro-life. Are the Democrats finally coming around? Are they willing to change - to get back our "blue collar" votes? Time will tell.
But I know this - I have waited forty-one years for the Republicans to stop the killing - first in Vietnam, and then in the Abortion Holocaust. I sometimes feel deeply betrayed. Surely I am not the only one. Will I feel, in a few years, like I did in 1964 when I voted for Goldwater to end the Vietnam War "swiftly and honorably"? Will I go back to my grandmother's party? I don't know. Time will tell.
Two elderly Baptist preachers told me today that, since the Terri Schiavo incident, they are thinking about voting for a Democrat again. I am not alone. It's time for the Republicans to put up or shut up.

All of the crooks who had selfish reasons in the murder of Terri will eventually slip up. Michael thinks he has won, but his day will come. It will all slip away. And the same goes for Judge Greer. He's another Slick Willy thinking he's omnipotent.
BUMP.
hey! look at that! Someone (probably Jim) went and cleaned out all those ABUSIVE KEYWORDS at the top of this thread! Thanks Jim! I hope you also zotted the guilty leftist death-ghouls in the process. I know I would have!
Well that is unexpected good news! Thank you for the heads up!
Yes! They will all pay - those who have Terri's blood on their hands.
thanks!
Add to that a couple OTHER mysteries...
1) There are MANY Probate judges in District 6. How is it that by the luck of the draw (supposedly), that when Eleanor Centonze died in Michael's home, that Jodi just HAPPENED to get Judge Greer as the probate judge for THAT estate as well?
2) Comparing the "Letter of Administration" signed by Greer after Eleanor's death, to the same document signed by Greer after Terri's death, and you will see that Greer DEPARTED from his usual language.
The two documents use almost identical boilerplate language, except the endings differ. Instead of the usual closing sentence:
"WITNESS my hand and seal of this Court this [date] day of [month,year]"
In Terri's case he wrote:
"ORDERED in Chambers, Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida this [date] day of [month,year]"
This difference implies to me that Greer did this in secret, in his private backroom, and never allowed anyone else who was party to the Schiavo lawsuits to object to Michael having been a guardian in such poor standing, also being made her executor.
Yes, God will have the last word.
I thought I was going to add more to that last sentence but that says it.
Can the popular MRS block any movie or book from the Schindlers' perspective? That's what estate rights are about, right?
I hope the Baptist preachers don't just blindly vote for Democrats, or for a Dem candidate who will SAY they are pro-life, just to get the votes, but doesn't WALK the WALK.
I think rather than voting for Dems to get even with the Republicans, pro-lifers should vote for the stronger pro-life candidate, whether they be Dem or Republican.
No matter which party we are registered with, it is very important to vote in the PRIMARIES to weed out the anti-life candidates.
Bravo to JR, and/or Admin Moderators who cleaned out the keywords!

Well, maybe Greer was just jumping the gun!
That must be it!
