I know a little bit about law enforcement in Florida, and they are pro's. It is hard for me to believe that in the span of thirteen years, that they could not have built a circumstantial case with these purported claims.

That's about it. I can't seem to find them credible in order to support overruling the court decisions in this matter.

I too await something that changes my mind. I can change it easily enough.

The stories about the husband somehow causing this are not what did it for me. He probably didn't IMHO...but there's a chance I suppose.

What did it for me is this...he's moved on, got a new woman and kids. He clearly does not have the commitment and care for Terri.

Her parents do.

It will not harm him in the least to let her live and allow the parents to care for her. She is obviously not comatose or a vegetable.

Common decency would indicate that such a person be put in the hands of those who will love her and care for her.

If he will not, it hurts not a whit to let her be loved and cared for by her parents.

That he will not do this speaks to alterior motives IMHO in the issue surrounding her care and her condition. I have come to believe that he is purely involved because of legal and financial benefit to him if she dies. That's what ended up doing it for me...plus the fact that it is so obvious from the reports and videos that this woman should live. She is not a canmdidate for turning off "life supprt" in the normal sense of the word.

Just my own opinion.

Thanks for trying to keep things rational. We need a lot more of that.

Claims like these:

Terri’s family later asserted that Michael Schiavo, who recently had a child with a longtime girlfriend he reportedly lives with, had been abusive to their daughter and that her original injuries were a result of a near-strangulation — an assertion they made after experts reviewed her medical records.

Quite a serious charge, with no resolution either way.

Then you don't know much, because "law enforcment" is part of the executive branch, and plays no role in civil litigation -- in the judicial branch -- of the type that is killing this innocent woman.
