Clearwater, FL - The volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation were astonished to learn of the behavior of former Dunedin, Florida Attorney Constance d'Angelis. d'Angelis is the former wife of George Felos, legal representative to Michael Schiavo.
In a press release issued through PR Web, titled "Lawyer Who Presented CT Scan & Medical Evidence in Court Analyzes Autopsy Results in Terri Schiavo Case" Ms. d'Angelis claims she will be available to interpret the anticipated Medical Examiner's report on the late Terri Schiavo.
Quoted from her release: "Upon the release of the autopsy report, she can analyze the results and weigh in on the important matters of how--by reason, not emotion--the "persistent vegetative state" diagnosis of Terri Schiavo was arrived at, and why."
The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation would like to take this opportunity to point out that not only was Ms. d'Angelis co-counsel to George Felos during the guardianship proceedings on behalf of Michael Schiavo, she is not qualified to interpret or analyze a Medical Examiner's report. She is only licensed as an attorney and as a massage therapist.
Ms. d'Angelis is the former owner of lovinglawsuits.com and the author of "Pancha Karma - A Life Changing Experience". She aided George Felos in bringing forth a petition to remove 'artificial life support' from Terri Schiavo that originated in 1998 though current law at that time did not provide for the removal of a feeding tube under Terri's circumstances.
Her release goes on to say: "The judge's February 2000 ruling was sustained throughout numerous appeals in both the State and Federal Courts." However, Ms. d'Angelis fails to make clear that no Federal Court has ever reviewed either Terri's case or the medical evidence presented to the lower court. Instead, they have declined jurisdiction.
It is, therefore, our conclusion that the Ms. d'Angelis is either attempting to capitalize on this tragic situation or preparing to support her former husband's contentions on a subject matter she is wholly unqualified to remark on.
Statement of Pamela Hennessy, Media Coordinator for the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation: "The former Mrs. Felos is not a doctor, a surgeon, a pathologist or even an orderly. She is a massage therapist. Certainly, she can lend absolutely no analysis or insight into the results of the Medical Examiner's report. Rather, she can only recant what her former husband suggests as the truth to Terri's condition. Medical analysis is best left to medical practitioners and not lawyers."

Is the ex-wife that Felos had dreams of strangling?
"She is only licensed as an attorney and as a massage therapist."
There's an impressive CV for you!
I wonder if this is the wife about whom the vampire George Felos entertained murderous fantasies.
Poor, poor Terri and the Schindler family, that they got caught up in the web of all the soulless, greedy, murdering people. Truly nightmarish.
But she did stay in a Holiday Inn Express Last Night
Possibly. Sounds like a fun relationship.
The plot thickens.
Worth repeating over and over.
How can this woman be qualified in any way to interpret a medical report? Who give the go-ahead for this? As with everything in this case, more questions than answers. Very sad thing.
>>How can this woman be qualified in any way to interpret a medical report?
She's not.
I wouldn't think so! So how can her word count for anyting? Something still smells awfully foul.
Woman sounds like she's perfectly qualified to be a judge in Floriduh! She already understands the rubber stampery ...
Splutter...laugh! Don't do that to me when I'm drinking coffee!!!
These people have no shame.
Neither are 99.99% of the FReepers on this forum -- not that it's going to stop them from coming up with a half-dozen conspiracy theories.
Most of them preface their remarks by stating precisely that - they are not medically qualified to know, but were wondering if....
This woman, on the other hand, is promoting herself on the very opposite premise. Bit of a difference.
Seems there's plenty of that sort of thing going on around here, too.
Good for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, for exposing this quackery.
Sounds like Connie wants to start a career as a guest commentator on Cable TV.
