29. Non-party co-conspirator Felos styles himself a pioneer in the "Death With
Dignity" legal movement and is the author of Litigation as Spiritual Practice, published
by the Blue Dolphin Publishing Co., Inc., of Nevada City, California, in 2002. This book
promotes the defendant lawyer's trailblazing efforts in the pro-euthanasia field in
America. He is at this time promoting his next book, which is to be about the related case
in the Florida District Court of Appeal and Florida Sixth Judicial Circuit Court and which
related case Mr. Felos evidently expects to end in the death of Theresa Marie Schiavo in
the very near future.

30. Mr. Felos' book, Litigation as Spiritual Practice, contains numerous bizarre
anecdotes about his ardent desire to end the administration of food and water to severely
disabled or gravely sick patients.

31. On page 63, referring to his landmark Florida state court case, Estate of
Browning, Felos writes: "Such a deep, dark, silent blue. I stared as far into her eyes as I
could, hoping to sense some glimmer of understanding, some hint of awareness. The
deeper I dove, the darker became the blue, until the blue became the black of some
bottomless lake. 'Mrs. Browning, do you want to die?...Do you want to die?' - I near
shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue.
It felt so eerie."

32. On page 73, Attorney Felos writes: "As I continued to stay beside Mrs.
Browning at her nursing home bed, I felt my mind relax and my weight sink into the
ground. I began to feel light-headed as I became more reposed. Although feeling like I
could drift into sleep, I also experienced a sense of heightened awareness. As Mrs.
Browning lay motionless before my gaze, I suddenly heard a loud, deep moan and scream
and wondered if the nursing home personnel heard it....In the next moment, as this cry of
pain and torment continued, I realized it was Mrs. Browning. I felt the mid-section of my
body open and noticed a strange quality to the light in the room. I sensed her soul in
agony. As she screamed I heard her say, in confusion, 'Why am I still here... why am I
here?' My soul touched hers and in some way I communicated that she was still locked to
her body. I promised I would do everything in my power to gain the release her soul cried
for. with that the screaming immediately stopped. I felt like I was back in my head
again."

33. On page 75, Felos says: "Before our son was conceived, my then wife and I
went through a long and arduous process trying to decide if we should have a child.
Given that our marriage was never very stable, the familiar arguments against creating
progeny seemed at times hard to overcome....One morning, while still generally engaged
in that process, I walked into my office, and about half way to my desk was hammer-
struck. While almost seeing stars like a comic book character, I heard the soul of my yet-
to-be-conceived child emphatically shout: I'm ready to be born... will you stop this
fooling around!'...The voice I heard was distinctly male, and I beamed with the idea I
had a son - or was going to have a son - or sorta had a son out there - or something like
that."

34. On page 216, again discussing Estate of Browning, Mr. Felos writes about the
late Estelle M. Browning: "As I always did, I looked into her eyes and shouted to her,
hoping for some response or sign. After a minute or two I sat in the chair by the foot of
her bed, closed my eyes, and started to meditate. Having 'soulspoken' with Mrs.
Browning when we first met, I decided, with a measure of earnest self-inflation, to
purposefully initiate such contact. I settled into my breath and noticed all the passing
sounds move through my consciousness. As I deepened my relaxation, I reached out with
my awareness to see if I could touch her soul-presence. From deep inside I repeated,
'Mrs. Browning, it's okay to leave your body. There is no reason to stay in this body. It is
all right to die now.' A few minutes into my meditative encouragement, I was jarred by a
high-pitched sarcastic cackle and the words, 'You're telling me to drop my body - and
you can't even get out of your head.' Apparently, Mrs. Browning had a spirited sense of
humor!"

35. On pages 181-182 of his book, Felos claims that merely by visualizing a
plane crash during a flight he was taking back to Florida, he caused the plane to begin to
crash and that God spoke to him at that moment to warn him: "Be careful what you
think. You are more powerful than you realize'.....I was startled, humbled, and blessed
by God's admonishment."

36. Co-conspirator Felos clearly is not simply an advocate for Michael Schiavo in
the Florida state courts; he is an investor in Mrs. Schiavo's case who stands to profit
financially via her judicially-sanctioned death and the book he told the St. Petersburg
Times he wants to write about the case and his "spiritual journey" with Theresa Schiavo.
As his first work, Litigation as Spiritual Practice, indicates, Mr. Felos is an egomaniacal

visionary who views Terri's hoped-for death as a fulfillment of his personal messianic
mission as the savior of severely disabled and seriously ill people who need to die. He is
a protagonist in a drama in which he sees himself as a lead character.

37. In connection with the proceeding, Schiavo announced his recollection that
sometime in the mid-1980s, Terri informally remarked, with reference to her
grandmother's ultimately terminal illness, that in the event of her own serious illness, she
did not want to be maintained "on anything artificial". Defendant Schiavo alleged a
recollection of other generalized remarks to that effect.

What a freak. I suppose he had these same hallucinations with Terri.
