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 didnt 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 didnt 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 Id mention, Terri enough is enough. Lets gain a little weight now and that was that. |

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 Im sure its horrible for a parent to lose a child. But theyve had ten years of also hearing doctors telling them, theres nothing we can do for Terri, theres 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. |

Q. Now, what - when you saw her, do you know what time it was? SCHIAVO: I believe it was almost five a.m.. Q. When you saw her, how was she lying; in other words, on her back or SCHIAVO: On her back. Q. What did you do, then, after you SCHIAVO: After she fell? Q. After you found her in the hallway. SCHIAVO: I was I was to her within two seconds. I seen she stopped breathing.

SCHIAVO: A few hours later, I was getting out of bed for some reason and I heard this thud. So, I ran out into the hall and I found Terri on the floor. I knelt down next to her and I turned her over because she sort of fell on her face. On her stomach and face. I turned her over going, Terri, Terri. You okay? She kind of had this gurgling noise. I laid her down and ran over and called 911. I called her brother who lived in the same complex as we did. I ran back to Terri. She was not moving. I held her in my arms until her brother got there.
(NOTE- Robert Schindler, Sr. has stated that Michael phoned him. He advised him to phone 911, hung up and phoned Robert Schindler, Jr.) |

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
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.
...or Judge Greervorkian.
ping for later when I can focus,...his Mom's name answer was what Mayor LaGuardia would call a "doozy"
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?
Thank you for the information. BTTT
Thanks for posting this. Quite interesting.
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?
See the pic: http://asia.news.yahoo.com/050323/afp/050323232616int.html
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.
..so he really did become a nurse?
God help those who rely upon HIM!
I wonder if he ever heard,
"FIRST...............DO................NO..............HARM"
!!??!!
good work
Speaking of his live-in, she must be as stupid as a stick to remain with him in light of all of this.
He's proven himself to be of low intellect...she, too, must be in the bottom percentile!`
Would anyone want Michael Schiavo to be their nurse?
Horrors NO
