ST. PETERSBURG (FBW)-In her first interview since last year’s controversial dehydration death of Terri Schiavo, Pat Anderson, a long-time attorney in St. Petersburg who worked on the case for more than three years, told Florida Baptist Witness in late March she felt like she was “dropped into boiling oil,” when she entered the case in 2001 in the midst of an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court.
Opening a solo practice after 19 years of doing media defense, Anderson said Terri Schiavo’s father, Bob Schindler Sr., asked her to take case—which she saw through motions and appeals that held off Terri’s dehydraton for 3 1/2 years.

Bob Schindler’s request to Gibbs: “Do everything you can to save Terri’s life, or tell the story of what happened to Terri if she dies.”
Gibbs, speaking in Fort Lauderdale March 17 at the Reclaiming America Conference, told participants he believes too many people don’t know the real story about what happened in the final days and hours of Terri’s life.
