Opposing lawyers share thoughts on Schiavo case

Palm Beach Daily News ^ | October 1, 2005 | Michele Dargan

[topher]

The only issue that David Gibbs can ever remember Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh agreeing on was the fact that Terri Schiavo should remain alive.

...

Gibbs called removing Schiavo's feeding tube "barbaric and uncivilized." Florida law does not allow the starvation of animals and the constitution does not allow the starvation of convicted murderers, he said.

...

Felos said faith-based organizations, religious leaders, priests and rabbis distorted the facts in the Schiavo case.

...

[pickyourpoison]

"we will never forget the agonizing starvation death Terri suffered"

But Felos said it was sooooo peaceful and Michael put a rose in her hand as she lay dying.
The Schindler's couldn't bring a camera in the room, but was hino allowed to bring a camera in and capture the rose in her hand moment? Maybe his book will have the answer to that question.

You know what people do with books they don't like? They go into bookstores and hide them. LOL I wonder how many of HINO's books across Amerika will be moved by Terri's devoted supporters.

He deserves one of those large dumpsters used for roofing. All his books would fit in one of those for a ride to the landfills of Amerika.

Thanks, FV. You and all the freepers who research for articles to keep us all informed deserve praise!

I wish I had the time to compile them all in one book - but it might take fifty - and send it to the powers that be with a note - "whatcha you gonna do about the adulterous, fraudulent, lying thief of a husband who had his disabled wife murdered with the blessings from a black-robed man sitting on a bench"?

I cried when I read your post. I don't know how Greer, et al sleep at night. One day they'll get their due.

Reviewed the page...interesting..worst circuit judges in the nation. Haven't read the Keyes bio on greer the mean yet, but I will. Talk about corruption and an interwoven link with scientology...guess those judges know where their bread in buttered.

I certainly would not want to allow scientologists to get their grips on troubled youth...their founder was a nutcase and that cult is so hungry for money it turns the stomach.

[chuckles]

Does horse-felos come out of a "Clymer"?

[MarMema]

it's chilling to assert that it's more ethical to starve a handicapped person if that person is blind. This is what passes for ethics among advocates for euthanasia.

And this is exactly what is becoming acceptable thinking - the more diagnostic labels that can be applied, the less human a person becomes, and the more likely they should not be allowed to live.

This whole thing makes me so angry and sick that I really just cannot post on these threads anymore. But I wanted to say *Thank God* for the letters you posted from the two MDs.

Interesting article that you pinged to me. I'll post it again:

So if Michael loses his nursing license over this, MAYBE it will even make the MSM news, and all the world can see what a liar he is.

I'm a bit tired now, so maybe I missed it, but what did Michael have to gain by lying about this? Does he just lie for the sake of lying, in addition to lying for the purpose of murder?

[Republic]

He lies to embellish his own self image and because he knows EXACTLY who was in his corner and that none of those murdering goons cared one iota what sort of creepy, nasty, neglectful, cruel type of guardian he was.

Terri's tombstone says it all...that monster in the gold chains and rings, that cat killer and power monger and murdering, concubine embracing freak considered Terri DEAD from the moment she could no longer support him. Period. He only played with her long enough to get his money from the lawsuit.

He is a walking monster who has no place for truth in his life...the truth is way to damaging to such an evil monster.

World Net Daily: COUNTDOWN TO 'TERRI'S STORY'

Anatomy of right-to-die law

Proponents, hospice industry given rare authority to change Florida statute

Excerpts:

By April 29, 1999, a speedy 90 days after the panel filed its interim report, Gov. Bush had added his signature to the legislation and Florida law was changed, effective Oct. 1, 1999.

Less than four months later, George Felos stood in court at the trial for the petition to remove Terri's feeding tube and declared it was "the law in Florida" that artificial provision of sustenance is considered medical treatment.

Brother of Terri Schiavo still upset over death

He says the courts and her husband mishandled case

"Fresh in my mind now is how they tortured her to death, how terrified she looked prior to her death. . . . That will be an image that stays with me and my family the rest of our lives," Schindler said in an interview. "She was beautiful, she was alive, she was a human being and had a family willing to . . . show her compassion as every human being deserves. But the courts decided she would be better off dead."

Check out the above posts and references especially by floriduh voter.

Meanwhile, the North Country Gazette is coming up with more and more.

In February 1990, Terri Schiavo collapsed from causes that are still unknown 15 years after the fact.

What is known is her oxygen was cut off long enough to leave her severely brain damaged, she had no living will or written directive, and she lived with a feeding tube for 15 years before the Greer Court ordered her execution.

Killing A Brain Injured Woman

How appropriate that Florida's Sixth Circuit Court Judge George W. Greer was right in the middle of attorneys for alleged pedophiles and murderers this week when he appeared as a panelist at a two-day workshop in Reno, Nevada hosted by the National Center for Courts and Media whose topic was the judiciary's blackout of public information in high profile cases.

Ready for this?? Dehydration can be fun! (barf alert)

Terrance Maxwell for the Arizona Range News needs a second opinion, I suggest. Now, this is news to me! "It's a very smooth, graceful and elegant way to go." Of course it takes lots of morphine to keep them quiet.

More follow on from Diane Lynne on WND.

It's Sept. 12, 2001, all over again for many Americans. As they did on the day after the infamous 9-11, when hate-filled terrorists blasted a whole in the nation's soul, shocked citizens across the country now similarly grapple with a seismic shift in their understanding of what life in America means.

Why should you care about Terri?

While at the WorldNetDaily site, I noted this ACLU topic, too.

For Thomas Jefferson and his fellow Founders, three of the most pre-eminent rights were as "self-evident" as they were "unalienable": "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

But for the American Civil Liberties Union, pretended heir to Jefferson and self-proclaimed protector of our nation's civil rights, it is increasingly and tragically apparent that "one out of three ain't bad" – and even there, they have problems.

There is some dog-dirty business going on in Pinellas courts. One must watch out and be careful who they 'tick off' down there.
