Criminal Investigation of Michael Schiavo:
1) Nurses’ testimony: Heidi Law, Carla Sauer-Iyer, Carolyn Johnson have been ignored and dismissed without hearing; each testified that Michael was abusive to Terri and may have attempted to kill her by insulin injection and attempts to induce pneumonia by turning the thermostat in her room to 64 degrees.
2) Michael Baden, top forensic pathologist in country and interviewed on Fox News National Television broadcast October 25, 2003 on Terri’s bone scan and injuries states that:
a) Terri’s injuries are not consistent with a heart attack; no cardiac evidence to support it
b) Extremely rare for potassium imbalance on woman her age and in her good health
c) Injuries are consistent with severe trauma possibly caused by a beating
d) The injuries in medical records warrant an immediate investigation
3) Dr. William Hammesfahr, Nobel prize nominee and neurologist testified that Terri’s neck injuries are consistent with only one type of injury: that of strangulation.
4) Terri’s doctor, Dr. Gambone resigned; he had previously testified Terri would die within a few days of starvation/dehydration. Terri has an obvious will to live.
5) Michael has enlisted the services of a new doctor, Stanton Tripodis, who has 5 malpractice suits against him. Clearly, Michael is attempting to provide sub-standard care for his wife.
Case no. 97007946C1 filed 11-25-97
Case no. 94003739C1 filed 6-27-94
Case no. 95000873C1 filed 2-14-95
Case no. 96001434C1 filed 3-6-96
Case no. 98002289C1 filed 4-7-98
6) Michael is committing adultery by living with another woman who has already born one child with another on the way, thereby creating an obvious conflict of interest as guardian.
7) Michael has committed both perjury (2 counts) and insurance fraud by promising to provide care and therapy for his wife in exchange for the court award of 1.2 million dollars in 1993. No care has ever been provided to Terri.
8) Michael Schiavo has also prevented Terri from undergoing a barium swallow test, a procedure necessary to ascertain the consistency of foods able to be taken by mouth.
9) Co-conspirator George J. Felos combined and conspired with Michael Schiavo to arrange for Terri's "free" stay at Hospice Woodside as part of an "exit protocol" designed to advance Felos' self-perceived messianic mission of "helping" incapacitated people to die by categorizing them as "terminal," warehousing them, and depriving them of therapy and rehabilitation services. (Attorney Felos is Director of Florida Right to Die and has testified that he can ascertain a person’s desire to die by “looking into their eyes and letting their spirit speak directly to him”) (allegations also that George J. Felos has a book coming out on Terr1..Posted by: Rohana | March 17, 2005 01:37 PM UNDER COMMENTS

10) Investigate Insurance company established in Jan 2001 at the home of Michael Schiavo and his girlfriend/fiancee Jody Centonze. (Jerger and Centonze Insurnace Agency Inc.) Michael is listed on the Board of Directors for the corporation. Note: Insurance is deliberately misspelled in the State of Florida Corporate filing, possibly to avoid investigation.
11) Michael continues to deny Terri the right to receive Holy Communion as part of her Catholic and civil right.
I ask: Should Michael Schiavo be arrested on conspiracy to murder and have his guardianship immediately revoked? At least his guardianship removed under conflict of interest on allegations documented suggesting wrongdoing. Of course under the law, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.(/sarcasm)
Keep the faxes and emails burning..they are now checking into his background (via FoxNews) as we have been pushing for them to do so...in reference to his "fit" guardianship role.
"Clear and convincing evidence" that Terri DOESN'T want to die (Oct 14, 2003) http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35077:
1) Terri Schindler-Schiavo does not want to die. She would like to go home. And she tried to convey this to her father in no uncertain terms by sitting bolt upright and trying to get out of her chair when told she might be killed, her family has revealed.
The stunning news was released at noon Eastern today by Terri's father, Robert Schindler, at the 'round-the-clock vigil outside the Woodside Hospice facility in Pinellas Park, Fla., where his daughter's court-ordered death by starvation is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 2 p.m. Eastern. At that time, her husband and legal guardian Michael Schiavo is scheduled to give the order to disconnect the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman's feeding tube that has provided her with sustenance for the past 13 years.
In an interview a few hours earlier, Schindler described the incident to WorldNetDaily. He said he was holding a cell phone to Terri's ear as she listened intently to the speaker, propped in her jerry-chair at about a 30-degree angle. Suddenly she sat up straight and tried to get out of her chair, despite her weak legs and muscles that were slack from lack of exercise.
His daughter's response stunned Schindler, who grabbed the phone and asked, "My God, what did you tell her?"
The speaker said he had warned, "If you don't get up and get out of there, you're going to die there."
2) Testimony under oath by girlfriend Diane Meyer: A girlfriend of Terri's concurred. In court testimony, Diane Meyer shared her recollection of a conversation she had with Terri after watching the 1982 television movie about Karen Ann Quinlan. Meyer said Terri told her she did not agree with the well-known decision by Quinlan's parents to take their comatose daughter off her respirator. Meyer remembers Terri wondering aloud how doctors and lawyers could possibly know what Quinlan was feeling or what she would want.
"Where there's life," Meyer recalled Terri saying, according to the The Buffalo News, "there's hope." http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43463
3) Mar 18 2005 --- Schindler family attorney Barbara Weller similarly reported the severely brain-injured woman cried and yelled out that she wants to live after being told her life-sustaining feeding tube was about to be removed by court order.
Weller essentially told Terri Schiavo, "You had better say you want to live or they will kill you. Just say you want to live."
Terri Schiavo responded with a drawn out, "IIIIII," then screamed out "waaaaaaaa" so loudly that a police officer stationed outside the room came in. The officer then ordered Weller removed from the room, according to prominent pro-life activist Randall Terry.
The event was witnessed by Vitadamo and her husband, Michael.
Clear and convincing evidence....
I guess the Judge doesn't watch enough TV to know that movies are recycled through the years and a movie that was made in 1982 could have been viewed periodically during the ensuing years on several different channels. What a narrow-minded a-hole.
Yet, in the World Net Daily article : "Michael Schiavo told the court he and Terri had talked about life support when her grandmother was in a nursing home, unconscious for weeks and on a ventilator."
Besides being two different takes on when, why and how she told him she didn't want to be kept alive by artificial means, I'd stake my next month's pension check on the fact that each time he's told this story, he's embellished it even more.
This guy is clearly a liar. I'm not sure when his appearance on Larry King took place, but his statement seems eerily similar to that of Diane Meyer, whose testimony was trashed by Judge Greer. This guy fabricates a story eight years after the fact and then can't even keep that story straight.

Comments on the following article written by mercyme? Has anyone seen any articles or facts that might elucidate these issues? A tremendous amount of effort went into this article (although it could still use some work...and sources and footnotes would help). I was aware of some of these facts from 2 other sources:
