Press Release
Terri Schiavo case moves to the Federal level
Federal Court grants emergency hearing in the case of disabled Florida woman.
Clearwater, FL August 30, 2003: On Saturday, August 30, 2003, a Federal District Court Judge in Tampa scheduled an emergency hearing in the case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, a disabled woman whose husband has petitioned the courts to end her life by the removal of her feeding tube. This hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2, 2003 at the Federal Courthouse in Tampa.
In an emergency motion, the attorney representing Bob and Mary Schindler of Gulf Port, Florida (Ms. Schiavo’s parents), asked the court to issue an injunction allowing Ms. Schiavo’s parents access to her medical information, continuance of medically necessary treatment and several other issues that relate to Ms. Schiavo’s care.
On Tuesday, August 26, 2003, Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer ordered that Terri’s current medical treatment would not be interrupted. However, on Friday, August 29, 2003, Ms. Schiavo had been released from Morton Plant and sent back to the Hospice facility in St Petersburg where she is a resident.
During the early morning hours of Saturday, August 30, 2003, Ms. Schiavo was transported back to Morton Plant under emergency circumstances. Apparently, her husband denied her admittance to the hospital and she has since been sent back to Hospice Woodside in St Petersburg.

Thanks for your update! Let's all continue to hold Terri up in our prayers! Keep hanging on, Terri!
Terri's "husband" is a b*stard. Why the dogged determination to kill his wife? Thanks for posting the latest news. I wonder who greased the wheels for the Federal District Court to hold an emergency hearing? Judge Greer is going to be very sorry that he publicly dissed Jeb Bush. I emailed Laura Bush, I wonder how many other folks did? Ah who cares, this might be the break that will get Terri the help she needs :)
