Yesterday, attorney David Gibbs filed several new motions with the 2nd DCA and Judge Greer:

"Motion for Emergency Stay of Execution of Feb 11, 2000"

The motion explains that attorney George Felos has given notice that Michael intends to move forward, without further order of the court, to discontinue Terri's assisted feeding immediately upon the 2nd DCA issuing its mandate.

"Motion to Stay Mandate with the 2nd District Court of Appeals"

Terri's parents are requesting the 2nd DCA to withhold its mandate and issue a stay pending the filing and resolution of their Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the US Supreme Court.

Press Release

Assignment – Terri Schiavo Case

Has collusion been a factor in the Terri Schiavo case? Supporters of the disabled Pinellas woman think so.

Clearwater, FL September 16, 2003: Supporters of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have uncovered a possible link to collusion in the legal proceedings involving attorney George Felos (representing Michael Schiavo) and the neurologist Dr. Peter Bambakidis (court appointed, independent, examining physician).

During the 2002 trials, the court ordered that two physicians would be chosen by Michael Schiavo, two would be chosen by Bob and Mary Schindler (Terri Schiavo’s parents) and one would be appointed by the court as an independent examining physician. All five physicians would later give testimony to the condition of Ms. Schiavo. The independent physician, Dr. Peter Bambakidis of Ohio, would testify in favor of Michael Schiavo in that Ms. Schiavo was in a persistent vegetative state and without hope of recovery.

Supporters of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned that Dr. Bambakidis and attorney George Felos may have had a personal relationship prior to Dr. Bambakidis being assigned to the case on April 24, 2002.

In marketing materials promoting his seminars, Mr. Felos notes that he has served as a Governor for the American Hellenic Education Progressive Association (document here).

Upon research, supporters discovered that the Ohio chapter of the American Hellenic Education Progressive Association was managed by Gust Bambakidis (link here).

Both Gust and Peter Bambakidis are graduates of Case Western University (Gust, Peter) and are believed to be related. Both were born in Ohio and live there currently. Additionally, Nicholas Bambakidis (son of Gust and a neurologist) had, for some time, worked with Peter Bambakidis (link here).

During testimony in 2002, Dr. Peter Bambakidis was asked repeatedly by attorney Patricia Anderson (representing Bob and Mary Schindler) if he had any personal relationship with attorney George Felos. Dr. Bambakidis insisted that he did not know of Mr. Felos prior to being appointed by Judge Greer though he could not provide sufficient explanation as to his appointment nor had he ever testified in any similar court case prior to the 2002 trial of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

The supporters of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation believe these coincidences to be indication of possible collusion in the case and are calling on state officials to launch a full and thorough investigation. This apparent connection raises many questions by the Foundation as to the neutrality and integrity of the proceedings. Supporters have complained that neither state officials nor press have investigated these irregularities. By copy of this release, notice will be given to Governor Jeb Bush, State Attorney Bernie McCabe and Florida’s Attorney General Charlie Crist.

Those are some MIGHTY FINE motions made recently...
I especially liked this part...

The Schindlers maintain that Greer impermissively retroactively applied 2000 law to Terri Schiavo’s conduct that occurred before Feb. 1990. Such is in regard to the alleged comment Michael Schiavo says that she made that she would not want to be kept alive by artificial means.

The reason this is important, is that EVEN IF Mikey is a truth-teller (which he is not),
...and EVEN IF the two of them had a death-pact to remove
each other's feeding tubes should the other become PVS(which Terri is not),
...it was illegal to do so in 1990, and therefore illegal to have such a pact.

Greer's retro-active application of year-2000 changes in the law were equally illegal.
