the Schindler's previous lawyers had the bone scan all along. Lawyer that filed in desparation [had nothing else] found it going through THEIR papers. Just because they did nothing with it until 2002 [after they had lost all other appeals on the merits], that makes it a 'conspiracy'? Then they used Sean Hannity types to fill your minds with THEIR story

The day after Terri died, I listened to Sean Hannity interview Patricia Anderson, Schindler's attorney in 2002. She is a walking encyclopedia of the Terri legal saga. I'm sure we'll be hearing more from her and hope she writes a book. After all, no one can hurt Terri anymore and Michael has lost his leverage over the Schindlers.

When asked, Ms Anderson stated that although the bone scan was done in 1991, the Schindlers did NOT know about the bone fracture trauma it displayed until 2002.

Remember that early in Terri's medical history, as part of the Schindlers' willingness to make Michael Terri's sole guardian ...circa 1991-93?... an agreement which they believed (probably based on informal advice of Michael's employer, a restaurant owner who was an attorney) to be in Terri's best interest to receive a sizable malpractice financial settlement to cover life care...

As part of that early, fatal decision by the Schindlers, Michael was given the sole right NOT to release any of Terri's medical records or information about her condition to her parents.

As an aside, I believe that they pissed off Michael - (and later, Judge Greer) by the fact that after 1993, when Michael's outlook and treatment of Terri changed after he got the malpractice money - the Schindlers refused to just let Terri go. They dug and received information surreptitiously from some of her providers who were willing to risk coming forward or simply providing them with anonymous tips, obtained and enabled the release of videos of Terri interacting with them and others, and raised protests of her mistretament from their own observations of her condition (when they were permitted by Michael to visit, also completely under his control)

O/A 1 April show, Sean Hannity asked Ms Anderson when Michael knew about what the bone scan showed, and she said she did not know. But the Schindlers did NOT know until 2002.

That was why the parents asked only in 2002 for a new judicial review in light of possible abuse by Terri's guardian that led to the state she was in...this of course would have called into question (yet again, after repeated attempts since mid 1993) Michael's motives and suitability as Terri's sole guardian.

Judge Greer ruled against them and stated that bone trauma evidence was irrelevant to the guardian decision....no de novo ... I have not seen that Judge Greer admonished the Schindlers for not coming forward sooner with this information. Did he do so? If they really had it, he would have commented thusly. He has in other rulings.

BTW- Michael's defense, if it becomes necessary, is going to be that Terri's bone fractures were caused by PT, which she would have had to have received between 1990-1991. But do you know WHY the bone scan on Terri was done in 1991? MsAnderson stated that the bone scan was ordered in 1991 because when Terri started to receive physical therapy, she often complained "STOP" or "NO" when the therapists tried to touch her (not bad for a vegetable, eh). The PT team orderd the bone scan to try and determine the source of her pain.

The physician who reviewed the bone fractures could tell from the stage of healing in the 1991 scan, that the fractures had occurred in the previous 12-18 months- at about the same time as Terri's collapse.

So sorry to prick your bubble, but when I listen to the attorney herself answer these questions directly, I tend to believe her. I'm sure there is a transcript of her interview if anyone wants to go find it for themselves. If she is perjuring herself and slandering Judge Greer and Michael, then she will be charged and investigated by the FL Bar Association- right?

And as for Sean Hannity- he is the only journlaist asking real questions directly to the principals. The rest of the LSM pack is simply re-packaging and regurgitating the same lexis/nexis file drivel that's been floated for 15 years without any serious investigation. Try listening to his talk show yourself. I'm sure he'd love to talk to you
