From my personal observation, the Schindlers are not a bunch of liars

I was covering all the bases and tend to believe them, playing devil's advocate if you will.

Terri is just a case file to Judge Greer and he is legally blind.

I was thinking that last night. Caseload. That's all people are any more.

[TSH1]

The $6.8 million dollars could very well be the total amount awarded...as one of the doctors settled out of court for an "undisclosed amount of money".

[Theodore R.]

As wrong as "Republican" George W. Greer has been about Terri, he is bound to have been horribly wrong in many, many other cases too. No one could be so wrong about one case and handle other cases with perfection.

This man is out to lunch, or out jogging, or whatever he does. He is surely no jurist. Why though do Pinellas people seem to warm to him?

Well, Janet Reno was out in her pickup truck again and she was disturbed that Jeb Bush issued an Executive Order. How dare he, etc. The rule of law is more important than the right to life in Janet's world.

During the trial, attorneys for the Schiavos showed a film of a day in Mrs. Schiavo's life at Sabal Palms Nursing Home in Largo. Although she's in a vegetative state, said St. Petersburg lawyer Glenn Woodworth, "you can tell she has some sense of her predicament."
"It's a tragic case," Woodworth said. "She was on the threshold of her life. They were ready to start a family . . . (On the film) she knows her husband and looks into his eyes."

Doesn't this statement by Schlimo's lawyer directly contradict everything Schlimo and his new lawyer are saying today?

Michael Challenges Terri's Law, Wants Guardian Appointment Delayed

[Ohioan from Florida]

I'm not sure, but I thought that Prudential was who Terri worked for at the time of her collapse. I didn't think that Prudential was the company that gave Igel malpractice insurance, but I could be wrong. Anyone else know more?

Yes, it does. We have an attorney who represented Michael at his big time $$$ stating contradictory statements. We have, in that same report, the writer saying Terri fell in the BATHROOM of their house (would you not love to see the court transcript? I would!) and on LKL we have Michael saying she fell in the hall and he went down (bending down or down some stairs? who knows) to get her. We have a heresay story the came from someone at a vigil that the ER personnel called the POLICE, suspecting foul play upon examining Terri (bet all indications were NO HEART ATTACK) and that when Mr Schindler was asked if he suspected foul play, that he said NO. (And he very may might have....he probably did not think Michael capable of it at the time)

Then we have the sealing of the medical records... the sealing of the medical records is very suspect to me.....why keep the family away from the MEDICAL RECORDS if everything is on the level?

Wish we could motivate the ER personnel and Carla Iyers to come forward right about now!

[trussell]

Sounds like maybe Greer has a thing about protecting the male in every case.

denied a protective order for a woman

Obviously protecting MS, favoring him over the right to protection for his wife.

Wonder if there is something in his past that has made him the ultimate female basher?

Ken Connor to help Defend 'Terri's Law'

I'm very pleased to report to you today that former FRC president Ken Connor is now working on behalf of Terri Schiavo, the disabled Florida woman we've told you so much about these past few weeks.

Ken, who prior to his tenure as FRC president made a name for himself as a successful trial lawyer in Florida, has been tapped by Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) to assist in defending "Terri's Law," the bill Gov. Bush signed to force an end to Terri's court-ordered death by starvation. Terri's husband, Michael, is challenging the law, saying it does not comport with Florida's state constitution.

As reported in today's New York Times, Ken is more than able to counter such claims. Not only is he a former member of Florida's State Constitutional Revision Commission, but he is also a past president and chairman of Florida Right to Life. With Ken's passion for defending the sanctity of life and his proven legal talent, we can all be confident that Terri will be well-represented on her day in court.

Please join us in praying that God will bless Ken and his team with the wisdom and insight necessary to win this important legal battle.

Your entire post is well thought out...wonderful! Especially the last paragraph!!

When you were discussing her weight loss...part of what you posted said:

. Terri had lost nearly 80 pounds since her marriage and was going to a gyno for diagnosis/treatment of missed menstrual periods, both possible symptoms of an eating disorder.

Could such a weight loss also be tied to depression, anti-anxiety drugs, living with a critical ABUSIVE husband , who obviously deems perfection as extremely important ( and I think Felos has a problem in that area, too! Dispose of the damaged, donchaknow).

[Ohioan from Florida]

I thought the 6.8 million was the total award, which they decreased to 1.2 million because the jury felt that Terri was 70% responsible for her own condition.

See a bit of good news in post #210! ALRIGHT!

[Ohioan from Florida]

That is good news! Thanks, Gov. Bush, and thank you, Ken Connor!

[sweetliberty]

That is great. With these folks and the ACLJ on board, maybe Terri will stand a fighting chance in the courts.

Tonight at my women's Bible Study, I asked for prayer for Terri. One woman stiffened up and when I was explaining Terri's situation to those that did not know, this one gal told me that I don't have all the facts, that Terri is in a PVS state. I told her that all you had to do was look at the video being shown and see that she looks at her mother with recognition and love. She obviously watched CNN the other night and told me that it took up to 4 hours to get that shot. I was sad leaving that room.

I thank God that he protected Terri's organs during those days that she was off her feeding tube and I pray that he will keep her safe from those who think she should die.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Take heart. You spoke up for Terri! Maybe those who sided with Michael's CNN version won't be swayed, but you never know. God is putting Terri onto all our hearts, and he's watching how we behave. He knows the real scoop. Perhaps you are just the first in a series of events (well, second if you count CNN) where God will show those women how precious Terri's life is to Him. You did the right thing. It is sad, but we are fighting an uphill battle against an enemy who gained ground while we were sleeping. Now that we are awake, let us continue to call out to others about the peril that seems to be surrounding us. God is mightier than any evil. I believe that if we believe, God will vindicate Terri.

I could swear on the LKL interview MS said he sued Prudential
