It is such a monstrous conflict of interest one could almost see the effort as a sick joke.

I agree.

As I recall, Grieco was the owner of the restaurant (I think it was called Augustino's, or some such) where MS worked -- i.e., he was Michael's boss. I think he filed guardianship papers for MS within a couple of days (the June hearing date notwithstanding). Given this quick and rather odd action, I wonder if Grieco actually knows what happened to Terri?

Whatever Michael did to Terri, it was shortly after he got home from his restaurant job late that Saturday night. He and Terri had had a terrible row that day (it is revealing that he lied to the police, saying that everything was fine between them). The fight was about money. Michael resented her spending $80 to get her hair colored. I suspect he worked himself into a rage at work that night, bitter that HE had to work because SHE wasted all that money getting her hair done. (That fits his personality perfectly.) He must have come home in a fury, meaning to punish Terri for her insubordination. He probably dragged her out of bed immediately (there is no evidence of a further noisy quarrel that the neighbors would have heard). I think he wrestled her down. She went down in the hallway. He got on her back and pinned her down with his knees. (I think his knees caused the very unusual internal injuries to her spine and right femur shown in the bone scan.) He is so heavy she couldn't breathe. Head sideways, she struggled desperately for breath, but had no chance. She was soon unconscious and in cardiac arrest. This is called "positional asphyxia."

Now the question is -- did Grieco know? Had MS been talking angrily about Terri at work that fateful night? Michael evidently came to Grieco in the next day or so. Did he blurt something garbled but desperate about what happened to Terri?

The police never interviewed Grieco or Michael's co-workers at the restaurant. They may have stories to tell, even today.

Very likely scenario!

I can't read music

I grabbed a short bio of Jackie Gleason which you and I can find amazing!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recorded a number of albums featuring instrumental "mood music" (what is now known today as "lounge music"). Gleason served as producer, band-leader, and (on occasion) vibraphone player, despite the fact that he couldn't read sheet music. Several of the albums included original compositions by Gleason. One album, "Lonesome Echo", topped the charts in 1955, and featured an album cover with original art by 'Salvador Dali' .

The Judge may have been Mark Shames.

That does ring a bell FV. I remember thinking, "Shame on him".

[bjs1779]

You certainly knew what was about to go down at time. I think you should continue on with the dastardly conclusion.

Shame on Shames. He's the wife cheater.

Florida's house of cards is falling. DCF Head Luci Hadi resigned today. She was being targeted and fined 80K for mistreatment of mental patients in Florida jails. I think she was being ousted because it was Hadi who was behind closed doors in a Terri hearing sticking up for Terri. After that closed door session, DCF pretty much abandoned Terri.

She resigned today. All it will take is for one person who was w/Jeb's administration to crack and this will break wide open. It might not be Luci who exposes the crimes against Terri Schiavo but someone will come forward.

Someday in our lifetime.

When Judge Greer got an award for killing Terri in 2005, it was AT THE VERY RESTAURANT MICHAEL WORKED AT THE NIGHT SHE "SOMETHINGED". That award was from the ACLU - same restaurant he used to work at but years later.

Same Sheriff's Dept. What is it with him? Name of restaurant used to be Agostino's. (Italian place on the way to Tampa).

[bjs1779]

Maybe it wasn't him?

Let's see if I can sneak this in.

Correct me if I am wrong FV, but did this not result in a Judges decision in Pinellas County concerning Michael Schiavo's Pinellas County Jail?

[floriduh voter]

There have been a lot of unexplained deaths in various jails in Florida and mixing of people with mental health needs with regular prison population. Unfortunately, MS is on the wrong side of the prison bars. Go figure.

[floriduh voter]

Judge Crockett Farnell's a piece of work too and his wife's a judge too if I'm not mistaken, appointed by Jebbie.

By the way, a prosecutor from Bernie McCabe's SA Office in Pinellas got caught in Taylor Park (guy's name is Taylor) with eight other males. They were hvg a gay old time in Taylor Park.

Prosecutor Taylor must have been having George Michael flashbacks. No wait, there are many bad apples here. How could I forget? LOL

[floriduh voter]

Well, well, Judge Crockett Farnell appears to be somebody's hatchet man. He's the judge who went after Attorney Mark Adams on bogus claims. Now he's going after Hadi from DCF. Man, it is so corrupt here. I would even welcome a visit by Geraldo to try to figure out their organizational chart.

Check this out.

Cheryl Ford's book has a lot of background material.

www.ourfight4terri.com (think that's it).

I think with Jeb's departure, the state is giving the good dept. heads the boot and keeping the ones who know all the secrets. Crist is keeping his AG Pat Gleason. That's one way to keep someone quiet. Put them in your cabinet. Pat Gleason is a woman and I bet she knows all the Terri secrets. She's for open government. Well, that's a change of tune because she wasn't for open govt. when Charlie was helping kill Terri.

It would only take one person to expose what really happened to Terri.

[floriduh voter]

There are Fla republicans who are mad at Jeb and they weren't even involved with the grassroots efforts for Terri. They're mad cuz he didn't endorse Gallagher and we're stuck with Charlie First for four years. CC grew up in a mansion. If I grew up in a mansion and everybody covered for me, I'd be a "nice guy" too. Stupid but nice. He's so bought and paid for. People will be having cows here at FR once Cc gets started. They'll regret that they didn't vote for Gallagher. They will be having Guernsey and other type cows.

There are so many holes in the case, and it's unbelievable that no one cared enough to get at the truth.
