I quote Cheryl Ford again, as she reports calls made to the St. Petersburg Police Department, "They claim to have been ordered not to investigate it, or any other complaints involving Michael Schiavo, "...at the direction of the State Attorney's office and Judge Greer."
Moreover, the only person on the scene questioned by the police officer was Michael, nobody else.
"Would his perception have changed if he had asked these questions of Bobby? Would his perception have changed if he had posed these questions to Terri's father, and learned of Micheal"s ongoing treatment by a psychiatrist for the depression that led to his choking attack of Bobby during a fit of rage? What would the police officer have thought if he knew the warnings his psychiatrist had given Mr. Schindler about calling the police at the first sign of Michael's dangerously volatile tempers? Could the rather spontaneous appearance of Michael's attorney have influenced his inquiries?" ...
I bought Cheryl's book but have barely started reading it and have not used it for reference material. Yet! (I do look forward to reading more.) I imagine I have looked at a goodly number of the same source documents that she did, though.
