Subject: Last night show on Terri

Your show was terrible last night. You seemed to go all out against Terri. That attorney didn't even bother to refresh his memory of the case or he just out and out lied.

Terri was out with a girlfriend who told her not to go home that night. She was concerned about Terri’s safety.

It was late at night and Terri certainly hadn’t just finished dinner and gone to throw up. That attorney had his own agenda last night.

Dr. Baden was making statements about Terri's condition that he isn't an expert in. Isn't he a medical forensics expert, not a neurologist and he's never visited with Terri.

Why don’t you have on some of the doctors the Schindler’s have?

Also this case is about to break open. It would be nice if the mainstream media started to investigate. You could be one of the first.

Please read the last article at the Empire Journal and the other articles available at their site.

Florida DCF Seeks 60-Day
Stay of Schiavo Death Warrant
McCabe Conflict Requires Special Prosecutor

Sincerely,

I sent Greta a followup and used Floriduh Voter's "person of interest" scenario.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I have watched your show whenever you’ve had Terri’s case on. Most of the time, I think you present both sides. That’s why I was surprised by your show last night.

Here’s another issue concerning Terri’s case that isn’t being addressed by the mainstream.

Why is a person of interest allowed to shut down an investigation in the state of Florida?????

http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/local/10985987.htm

The article states:
Richard LaBelle, a Dunedin attorney who works with the advocacy center, said the agency reviewed court files and other medical records that were readily available and presented them to a medical expert who said he needed to examine Terri Schiavo before deciding whether she had been mistreated.
LaBelle said the group needed Michael Schiavo's permission to examine his wife and didn't get it. LaBelle said he welcomed DCF's involvement in the case now.
"I think that as an advocate for persons with disabilities, I think any claims should be resolved before further action is taken," LaBelle said. "I think the line should be drawn in favor of pursuing a good faith investigation."
So the attorney, Richard LaBelle, for the "State-Appointed" advocacy group couldn't get the guardian to grant permission to the advocacy group and the DCF let it go.

Sounds like the Florida legislatures needs to pass a law whereby, the advocacy group has the power to overrule the guardian in an investigation of abuse.

To put it another way:
Why must the Advocacy get permission from a "person of interest" before starting an investigation???? If Osama Bin Laden lived in Florida and wanted to starve one of his wives, would the AC ask UBL's permission first?

Thanks for writing to Greta. Unbelievable what that guy said. I went and looked up the police report from that night. Let's compare:

This is from the "On the Record" transcript with Atty. Gary Fox, Michael's lawyer from the original malpractice lawsuit, in response to Greta's question as to what happened that night link: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,148756,00.html

"One night, Michael and Terri had had dinner. And she had had a large meal, and not long after the meal, he heard a thumping sound in the couple's bathroom, went to investigate, found Terri lying on the floor of the bathroom. She had just purged, apparently, or vomited, binged, which is what bulimics do and had a heart attack."

This is from the official police report on the night of Terri's "collapse" link: http://www.hospicepatients.org/police-report-02-25-90-terri-schiavo-collapse.pdf

Occurred: Sunday, 2/25/1990 05:40
Dispatched: Sunday, 2/25/1990 06:11

"Writer secured the apartment and brought keys to the hospital. Writer spoke with Theresa's husband (Michael) who stated he was awakened this morning when he heard a thud"

Soooo, they were eating dinner at 5:00 in the morning, and Michael was sleeping? Was not sleeping?

Think I'll send this to Greta.
