Michael Schiavo cashed in on a life-insurance policy on Terri while she was still alive. Furthermore, he melted down her jewelry to make jewelry for himself. He had her two cats put to death. Does that sound like the "loving" husband he claimed to be.
After the award money came in, he REALLY BEGAN TO SHOW HIS TRUE COLORS. Being that the Schindler's were trusting, loving Christian types, it caught them by surprise . . . except for Terri's sister Suzanne. She never trust her brother-in-law. You go, girl!! She hired a private investigator to look into Terri's collapse.
After the money came in, Michael became obsessed with getting rid of Terri. Destroy the evidence. He's a pretty crafty dude.
The Schindler's are portrayed in Fuhrman's book as gullible, loving, innocent, naaive people who in the beginning just couldn't believe their son-in-law was capable of such evil. I imagine Laci Peterson's family thought the same - AT FIRST - about Scott.
Michael Schiavo was very lucky to have George Felos for his lead attorney and George Greer for his judge and jury . . . or was he?
Two things, not really related to each other:
1. I think I heard Fuhrman say on Sean's show last week that when Terri's brother got to her house after the collapse, Terri was lying on her face/stomach -- not on her back as she should have been if hubby baby had been trying to help her.
2. Isn't Michael S. in a career field tangentially connected to the Pinellas Park Police? Seeing the video coverage outside her hospice, I was outraged at the attitude it appeared that the local police had. They seemed sadistically gleeful when taking action that would torment her family and help Michael. It was disgusting.
