Immediate Release
Schindlers Hopeful Michael Will Welcome Resolution to
Unresolved Questions About Terri
While the family of Terri Schiavo is grateful for the stay issued today by Judge George Greer of Pinellas County Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit, they continue to be hopeful that the court will allow the numerous, outstanding legal issues in Terri’s case to be resolved before any action to end their daughter’s life is taken.
Recent advances in neurological testing may be better suited to determining Terri Schiavo’s true cognizant state and the Schindlers would like them to be made available so that no doubt about their daughter’s condition remains.
The family believes that Michael Schiavo will welcome this new opportunity to resolve unanswered questions about Terri’s neurological state before any further action to remove her food and fluids is carried out.
The Schindler family and their legal team with the Gibbs Law Firm are committed to working with the guardian, his counsel and the courts to ensure that every appropriate measure is taken to ensure that Terri Schiavo’s rights and legal interests are respected.
Though the 2nd District Court of Appeals has issued their mandate to remove Terri’s assisted nutrition and hydration, it is the hope of the Schindler family that Michael Schiavo will allow his wife due process and refrain from further pursuit of her death until the court can review the appropriateness of new neurological testing.
The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation is the official organization responsible for speaking on behalf of the Schindler family.
