Lets see, first Michael Schiavo beats and strangles his wife Terri, leaves her lying unconscious on the floor until her family arrives to get her to the hospital.
Then Michael Schiavo sues the hospital for $20 million because he needs the money to get his poor wife therapy.
Then Michael Schiavo pockets the money, denies his wife the care he said she needed and finally, claims she really wants to die.
Michael Schiavo killed his wife Terri's cat, melted down her wedding ring and then took up with his girlfriend and lives with her today with their children. Does this sound like a loving husband who really cares about his wife's wishes?
And what do we get on the tube every hour on the hour: “persistent vegetative state” as though any of the talking heads who ghoulishly proclaim Terri's life isn't worth that of a convicted serial killer sitting on death row (for 20 years, while due process goes on).
Michael Schiavo's supporters claim he loved his wife Terri enough to take a nursing degree so that he could take care of her. I think he got that nursing degree so he could inject her with insulin and hasten her death and his complete claim to all the money he won in litigation.
Just take a gander at the sworn testimony of an attending nurse: Carla Sauer Iyer (affidavit* below) but let me save you some time and report a quote of Michael Schiavo's after visiting his still living wife: "When is that bitch gonna die?"
Hmmm. Loving husband or man so afraid of not only not getting the money (what's left of the $20 million) but the prospect of facing a jury for his attempted murder, a charge which is possible as long as Terri lives. Sounds like motive to me.
Michael Schiavo says Terri said she never wanted to be kept alive on machines. Okay. Even if that was her statement (which there is absolutely no corroborating testimony and quite the unusual statement coming from a young, newly married woman still in her twenties and full of life); Terri is not being kept alive by machines!
Terri has a feeding tube from which she gets food and water. Had she had the care and therapy she was entitled to, there is every chance today Terri would be divorced from that louse and feeding herself just fine.
About that “loving husband” crapola: what husband do you know evinces his marital fidelity and love by living with another woman, having children with that woman and dumps his wife in a hospice while waiting for her to die? What loving husband kills his sick wife's pet? What loving husband denies his wife's family visitation?
I ask these questions because the media morons are still stuck with their new term: “persistent vegetative state” and are oblivious to the actual facts of this tragic case.

See 478 and 491, though.
If you eat and drink is that artificial means?
He wants her dead because he screwed up in his first attempt.
Why not? You're speculating about everthing else.
And I didn't say a broken neck but broken bones in the neck and other damage. There is also evidence of other injuries to Terri's body.
I see. It's not a broken neck. Just broken neck bones.
Look, I know this is a sensitive issue. I'm just trying to get people to step back a little and think about what they are saying. If there were significant injuries, they would have been investigated. There's no conspiracy.
The abundance of heat is obscuring the facts and leading to flat out fabrications in many cases. It's frankly getting kind of silly and demeaning to us as rational conservatives.
Tell that to the doc that viewed the xrays and wrote the report.
Yet you take Mike Schiavo's word that his wife wants to die and it's hearsay.

Thanks, expat. WAY too much misinformation, partial information, and unclearly defined stuff floating around out there. Appreciate both comments. God bless.
So, if a husband commits attempted murder, which is a possibility in this case (that has yet to be appropriately investigated), he should get to finish the job by starving her to death by court order???
Ya gotta be kidding.
Thanks, expat. WAY too much misinformation, partial information, and unclearly defined stuff floating around out there. If only 6 judges heard the facts, I find it questionable. I don't know 6 people who I'd want making that decision on my behalf. Appreciate both comments. God bless.
Also, the mere fact that alot of courts and judges have puzzled over this case doesn't necessarily mean they puzzled out the right answer.
"He wants her dead because he screwed up in his first attempt."
You can believe anything you want. Perhaps you are right, perhaps you are wrong. All I know, is that there are too many theories going around that are not based on proven facts. sigh
Nothing I've seen referred to on any site that I would give any factual credit. Just allegations by those with a beef against him so far. I understand that the Schindlers filed a civil suit with allegations against him in that respect, but nothing from the State that I know of.
I'm sorry, typing too fast. I agree. The DA has found NO evidence of wrong doing.
The issue is, in a nutshell, that local laws, which used to proscribe things like adultery, sodomy, and cussing, have been struck down by the post-1960s, "let it all hang loose" judicial activism. If this were happening during the 1950s, Michael Schiavo would have long ago lost guardianship, due to the fact that he has not behaved in an honorable manner, and has a conflict of interest. The fact that we've gotten to the point that federal attention is being placed on this, simply points out how disempowered states and local governments have been by idiots like the ACLU.
I think you are absolutely correct. I just wasn't going to say it. I kept thinking that it might provoke someone into thinking about it and realizing that they are mixing their own guilty feelings with something that needs to be looked at logically.
And how is it that local and state law in Florida has broken down to the point where such obvious dishonorable and reckless behavior goes unpunished and almost unnoticed?
Why do you suppose it hasn't been "appropriately investigated?" Too low-profile a case? Laziness? Maybe a payoff? Inquiring minds want to know.
Michael mentions that he heard a strong last gasp coming from Terri that night. I think Michael thought she was DEAD.
No, you've got the whole thing wrong. She was dead enough to void the marriage contract, and raise her to parity with MS's chest of drawers, but alive enough to starve to death, within the sanctified bonds, of course, and also painlessly as the unrebutted meds tell us. Hope that helps explain things. That's what I've gathered since I posed the same question. This is a gift to Terri from Judge Greer and his probate bench.
More than that -- I understand that when he called up her parents, he told them she was dead.
