KING: True, you have a girlfriend?

SCHIAVO: Yes. And I am very fortunate...

KING: Does it hurt the situation, do you think, as the way the public might look at you?

SCHIAVO: From their side, I'm sure. But you know something? I'm fortunate to have two women in my life that I love very much. My girlfriend right now has done more for Terri than her own mother did. She shopped for her. She washed her clothes.

KING: How do you feel about all this? In your gut, how do you feel? You could have walked away, Michael.

SCHIAVO: I could have. But I love my wife. And I'm going to follow her wish. And nothing's going to stop me.

KING: She mentioned a child. You don't have a child do you?

SCHIAVO: Yes, I do.       

KING: With your girlfriend?

SCHIAVO: Yes.

SCHIAVO: Yeah.

Q. If the court would let us take a minute.

Q. You okay?

SCHIAVO: Yeah, I’m sorry.

Q. Have - you said you believe in your wedding vows. What do you mean by that?

SCHIAVO: I believe in the vows that I took with my wife. Through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.

Q. Are you presently – you’re married to Terri Schiavo, correct?

SCHIAVO: Yes I am.

Q. Are you presently involved in a romantic relationship with anyone?

SCHIAVO: Yes.

Memory Problems

Sept 27, 1999 Deposition

January 27, 2000 Trial Testimony

1992 Deposition

Q: Did Terri have any medical issues that she discussed with you after you were married?

SCHIAVO: As far as the missed periods – I’m trying to think here. I can’t recall anything right now. I can’t recall.

Q: Did she have any surgeries that you were aware of after you were married, prior to February 1990?

SCHIAVO: I don’t recall. I don’t think so. I’m not saying yes, I’m not saying no. I don’t recall.

SCHIAVO: Hospitalized?

Q: For the various medical problems you testified to before.

SCHIAVO: Twenty times.

Q: Has she ever been in the hospital one day when you were not there?

SCHIAVO: No. She has not.

Q: How many times has Terri gone to the doctor?

SCHIAVO: Over a hundred, 130.

Q: What are your parents’ names?

SCHIAVO: Claire and Bill.

Q: Is Claire with an “e” at the end?

SCHIAVO: Actually, it’s CLARA.

Q: “R-A”?

SCHIAVO: Or something like that.

 

Weight and memory problems

1992 Deposition

November 1992 Trial Testimony

 

Q: How did you feel about her weight? By this, I mean, you know, you dated her and you married her when she weighted something around 145 pounds, and then she was now, at this period of time, weighing in the area of 120. What was your feeling with regard to her weight – one way or another?

SCHIAVO: I – I never really thought about it that much. You know, I – you know, Terri was my wife, I didn’t marry her because of her weight, you know, I – I never really noticed – I mean, a real decline in her weight. I mean, she would lose weight and then she would gain it and she would – you know, and I never paid attention to it. I didn’t think I had to.

Q: Did there come a time when you got concerned about the fact that Terri was getting skinnier than you wanted her to and did you talk to her about it:

SCHIAVO: I mentioned it a couple times to her and got to the point where a couple times when she took off her blouse or something at night, I could see her bones, collarbones and shoulder bones would stick out, and I’d mention, Terri – enough is enough. Let’s gain a little weight now and that was that.

 


 

Relationship with Terri’s Family       

Dateline 2001

Statement of Michael Schiavo October 20, 2003

Larry King Live aired October 27, 2003

Dateline: Can you understand how two people see their child in the condition and Terri is now and want nothing less than a miracle.

 

SCHIAVO:  I certainly can.  I am not a parent.  And I’m sure it’s horrible for a parent to lose a child.  But they’ve had ten years of also hearing doctors telling them, there’s nothing we can do for Terri, there’s nothing we can do for Terri.

“For over 6 years, I have struggled with the Schindlers in court. On Wednesday, I joined them in grief. I understand what the Schindlers are going through at this time. I feel the same loss.”

KING: And what, Michael, is their motive?

SCHIAVO: What their motive is?

KING: In order to keep their daughter alive. They don't have a motive, do they?

SCHIAVO: Probably just to make my life hell, I guess.

He's an oaf IMO. So is his brother from what I can tell.

One of his brothers was on TV , talking about the circumstances under which Terri was supposed to have said to her in-laws, that she "wouldn't want to live that way." (Around the time of Mike's grandmother's wake or funeral?)

While stating what happened back then, the brother was gazing to the right, rather than to the left.

I've heard that most people gaze to the left when remembering actual events and gaze to the right when creating new stories

"Ok, he had a later relationship with someone he first knew about 6 months before Terri's "accident". Makes one wonder if there was something going on then."

Hannity interviewed one of Terri's best friends on Thursday, I think it was, and she said that based on personal things Terri confided in her, she and Michael were headed for a divorce before this happened.

Did you ever think you would see that on Free Republic, off all places? And not from newbies, either.
I don't think it has to do with political values. This is spiritual.

Mark Fuhrman was very critical of the efforts to save Terri.

Can the state of FL stop a cremation and order an autopsy? Just curious.

Makes me wonder WHY Michael Schiavo decided to become a nurse? Did this allow for him an "alibi" in acquiring various medical information (i.e, insulin injections) that he could put to use/practice on Terri??? What exactly was he studying in those medical texts, I wonder?

Actually it was the Dishonorable Judge Greer whom has ordered no autopsy as well as awarding Terri's remains to MS. We shall see if the State of Fla. will honor that judgment it is my understanding that if a Criminal Investigation is under way a Judge cannot stop the Autopsy. But then again I thought a Judge could not order the execution of an innocent person especially a silly little probate judge. Now if the FBI is doing an investigation Terri will be sent to Quantico and Greer's orders will have absolutely no weight at all.

While I agree with you about the documentary, I think the title is a little combersome; how about 'How to Kill Your Wife and Get Away With It'?

See her that she has a clear emotion of joy though declared brain-damaged. Who's on earth to die of starvation and thirst when he/she is happy?

Thank you for the website lining up the bigimist's lies and horrible activities.

I sincerely hope that there will be an intense legal investigation into the activities of this pig--both before and after her "accident." He's obviously not very smart. Even more obviously, he's a monster who is eager to go out of his way to hurt others--even the grieving parents of a dying daughter.

I can almost hear the pig saying, "You'd better put some ice on that" as he turns his back on the Shindlers.
