CNN Live ^ | 10-24-03 | Larry King

Michael Shiavo gets Larry King Monday October 27th,2003. This is a change of programming from website!

[JustPiper]

I can counter-sue Mr. Schiavo for calling me a "right wing whacko"

Let's get a class action suit going! And what we win we could then truly support Terri -g- A Robin Hood kinda idea

[BonneBlue]

And the family, exception of the mother, rarely visited terri. Uh huh, right. MS's story of the closed door on Feb 14th was very very vague. He said the father wanted to know how much money he was getting and then it became extremely vague after that statement. I would have pressed for more details regarding this.

[MVV]

...I loved it when Larry said CNN can take our cameras in tomorrow !! Something I never thought Larry would ask...

Yes, that was surprising and of course Felos had an answer "that Terri deserves her privacy..."

What are they so afraid of?

[JustPiper]

Jodi better know that what is done to one spouse...

[MSCASEY]

Why don't we all write L King and ask that since MS made these allegations and accusations against them that they have equal time to represent their side?

MCD

"What I will NEVER get NY is my brother's wishes were not followed because it was not in writing, it didn't give his wife any power. Why did it give Michael power?!"

Because the judiciary in FL is polluted with euthansia lawyers and judges.

Terri isn't going to die tonight. She looks good. They want to kill her in a couple of weeks though. Anyone would die if deprived of food and water and IT ISN'T PAINLESS.

[Mo1]

Never let it be said Greta doesn't know where her priorities are

Oh we have known where her political standing are .. but she did dicuss the case and bring up some very good questions

Something many of the other stations haven't done

[StarFan]

I heard an interview with a medical person last week that said this was the most cruel way for a person to die

Interesting -- to hear Nurse Michael and his attorney describe it, there's no pain at all likening it to terminal patients who simply refuse to eat and die peacefully.

[TaxRelief]

He said he could do this to her because he had already done the same thing to his mother and his father? Why has this never been mentioned before?

[JustPiper]

I think LKL is trying to be extremely fair which is evidence by his showing the Parent's rebuttal before every break.

I agree but I half expected to hear in all fairness we would like to give time to her family. The one thing I also liked was he cornered Michael about can we get a crew and go in and tape Terri for a day? Did you see MS and Felos trying to wiggle out of that one!

[supercat]

Jodi better know that what is done to one spouse...

...Might give her an excuse to kill Schiavo in "self-defense" shortly after their marriage, so then she'd get to pocket all the life-insurance money?

[Warren_Piece]

Look, if you watched the interview, I want you to tell me right now that he was totally believable. You might qualify things by saying "He was nervous" or "Larry and the callers set a trap for him", but the inconsistencies alone take credence away from his story, not to mention his language and body language. If I was his lawyer, and I hadn't paid off the judge, I would NEVER let this man testify in front of a jury.

[oreolady]

Two things really stand out, to me, if you had gotten a letter from an inmate that offered to kill her parents, and you had not been on speaking terms with them for years, how would you know what was in the contents of said person's mailbox? Or whom the letter was from? Idiotic lie!!!

Another blatant ridiculous story:
Even if the right-to-lifers" we're paying the Shindler's, HOW WOULD HE KNOW IT?
Just about everything else hwe said was so DUMB!!!!!!
Even Felos didn't seem that bright, with what he calaimed, he offered no backup or proof.

Sadly, no caller or Larry asked him what about the other doctor's opinions. Or the time persiod between her illness and MS claiming she said she wanted not to be on tubes, 6 or 8 YEARS???
I could go on and on, but how could anyone, especially any of our own Freepers not doubt this man's sincerity?

[valleygal]

All this the exact opposite I've what I've been reading here.

My thinking when I said this, was MS comes across as such a sweet caring guy and I knew there had to be some lies in there. OJ was supposedly a great guy (if you asked him) and "absolutely 100% not guilty"...also the opposite of much I read and we know.

[FR_addict]

Greta had the inconsistencies in his deposition in writing on the screen.

She was making a big deal about it.

[Republic]

Something nagging me about Michael...there is something ultimately cruel about him...there are several instances where terri has gotten sick from infections...and in each case that we have heard of, he refuses care for her.

I believe he hopes that terri is in pain, enjoys that pain, gets some kind of thrill from it, just as he was probably infuriated when terri was taken to the hosipital and for a few brief, tremendous hours, was NOT under his horrific, oh so dark, control.

[BonneBlue]

I wish MS's denial of Terri's last rights were brought up. This was the only vital thing missing from interview.

[MVV]

...Then LK asked why not get a divorce so you could marry her, have you discussed marriage and MS said we're happy with the way things are!

Oh I am sure Jodi was just thrilled with that response, I mean she's a pregnant mommie again, she likes having her kids out of wedlock?

What would Terri say? MS had to make the point crystal clear that he and Terri were trying hard to have kids, and she was back and forth to doctors to find out why they couldn't, and in another breath says Terri "couldn't get her period". DAH!!!!

[Normally a Lurker]

Since I didn't get married until 34, we sure didn't discuss it. God forbid that anyone would bring up all the stupid things I said when I was 25.

Givrn that, it seems that this thread is a virtual fountain of youth.
