Michael Schiavo is co-writing a book with author Michael Hirsh to tell his side of the end-of-life case that divided much of the country. Schiavo's wife Terri suffered a brain injury in 1990 that left her in what some doctors called a "persistent vegetative state." She died March 31 after a bitter court battle between her husband and her parents.
Hirsh expects the 280-page book, "Terri: the Truth," to be available just before the first anniversary of Terri's death. Dutton Publishing publicity manager Jean Anne Rose confirmed that the company is publishing the book in March.
Michael Schiavo's decision to remove a feeding tube that kept his brain-damaged wife alive alienated him from her parents, drew a Congressional intervention and even prompted criticism from President Bush.
Hirsh, 62, is a Vietnam veteran and a former Los Angeles television producer who has written three books about the military.
Neither did I. Goes to show that I didn't read "everything". Why didn't the vet refuse to do this?
Not sure, maybe bjs knows?
Subtitle: She (aka the bitch) didn't die, so I HAD to kill her!

There were many anti-Michael signs at the Vigil. He was pictured on one poster with OJ and Scott Peterson. We should have had a poster contest while we were waiting for someone to have enough courage to save Terri. Leadership from the top down was sadly lacking...
There doesn't seem to be ANY mechanism for the reversal of a finding of fact error. Appeals courts reverse on an incorrect application of law, do they not?
And then had her cremated and wouldn't even return the ashes to her parents. What a horrible, horrible monster.
Appellate courts can reverse on either ground, error in application in law or error in finding of fact. However, appellate courts give great deference to finding of fact in the court below - there is a "bias" that trial courts rarely make error in fact finding. But "rarely" is not the same as "never." An applellate court will always reserve the right to reverse on error of fact finding. Hence my point that civil law gives to much weight to finding of fact in lower courts, when the remedy involves taking a life.
As for the propostion that appellate courts can reverse based on errors in finding of fact, see Fed. Rules of Appellate Procedure.
FRAP 40(a)(2) Contents. The petition must state with particularity each point of law or fact that the petitioner believes the court has overlooked or misapprehended and must argue in support of the petition. Oral argument is not permitted.If appellate courts lacked the power to reverse on errors of fact, then a lower court could persist as a kangaroo court. That is not justice, and the legal system is legitimate only to the extent it is accepted as being just.

His ego can't stand he's not front page. That or he wants a new Mercedes.
Amen again!!
I've hundreds of photos of posters and am planning to
use them for something instructive to show the world
how many did care and did try to save this dear woman,
Terri.
Has he quit his job with the Pinellas County Republican courthouse?
No matter how horrible he is, the people of FL seem to cheer him on, with precious few exceptions. Liberal Floridians remind me of the mob shouting "Barabbas" when Pilate offered to release Jesus.
What a scumbag.

Thanks for the ping!
They left out the part where Michael says all of the proceeds will go to the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation.

True. He also said he needed the first round of money so he could go to school, become a nurse, and take care of Terri for the rest of his life. He claimed that's what he promised her he'd do. Strange how that promise changed to a promise to torture her to death.
I appreciate what you're both trying to say, but you both missed the mark. The monster's form does not resemble human, and he's not capable of doing anything upright. It would be convenient to believe his supporters were fooled because he took on human form, or at least walked upright. There's no easy explanation for anyone being fooled by someone so lacking in a disguise.
You're right. Terri's Dad wanted Terri to get the medical attention that the money was awarded for, and Michael wanted to kill Terri and keep her money. So yeah, it was, at least in part about money.
We tend to get more upset over Michael's breaking of the 6th commandment, but that doesn't mean we're totally ignoring his breaking of the 9th. Let's not forget his breaking of the 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 10th. It can be argued whether or not he broke the 2nd and 3rd. Still, his breaking of the 6th commandment will garner the most focus.
