I agree with your tagline. Terri Schindler. I hate that she has the last name of her murderer.

[Orlando]

LOL !! I love it

[Orlando]

I am with you 100%, It's long over due, and her real name Thresea
is a beautiful name. It reminds me of Mother Thresea,
who cared all her life for the sick,weak, and disable.

hmm

"First time I ever heard "nuclear family" defined as: Husband, wife, husband's mistress, and husband's illegitimate children."

That's another one of those many words that have been redefined out of English and into liberalese.

[sweetliberty]

"I don't know the motivation, of course, for the poster posting that opinion"

That one's easy. See @181.

What if Geaorge is paying Michael? Say george is writing a book and he is paying Michael Schiavo as a source. In this way Michael gets the money out of terri's account, over to Felos, adn Felos funnels some back to Michael.

I have felt this all along - not to mention the fact (and it's been mentioned by others) that the original $700,000 trust fund, invested even very conservatively in 1993, would have yielded additional major gains. Where is THAT money? I thought Trustees have to provide an annual report to the court (public?) each year regarding what goes in and out of the trust. I assume NGFBHINO is the Trustee, as well as Guardian. And there has to be SOME Broker/Dealer (Merrill Lynch, Raymond James, e.g.) managing the funds in the trust.

My reply-
Yeah you mmake a most excellent point. I never thought of that. I bet that money was invested so there should be more than the $700,000.

I was helping SweetLiberty run down a wierd item and visited a web site that had some good information about Terri however the rest of the site was wacko.
I'll post that info in the next post.

[Lone Voice in the hinterlands]

Virtually every one of us has been interested in money being a motive for what is motivating Michael HINO (Husband In Name Only).

I found this on another web site, which I won't reference because the rest of the web site that is Not terri related is wacko. I can't vouch for the information but here it is.

If it doesn't copy and past good I'll have to work on that and re-post the info.

Question 3: Where Did Terri’s Malpractice Award Money Go?

As mentioned, in November1993, Michael Schiavo’s guardianship was challenged for his actions when he instructed Terri’s caretakers not to medicate Terri with antibiotics for a potentially fatal infection. This legal charge culminated with a February 1994 Judge Pennock hearing in which Michael Schiavo was exonerated and his guardianship remained intact. The court permitted Michael Schiavo to withdraw money from Terri’s medical fund to reimburse his legal expenses.

May 1998, Michael Schiavo hires attorney George Felos to petition the court to have Terri’s feeding terminated. Subsequently, the court has permitted Michael Schiavo to withdraw money from Terri’s medical fund to reimburse his legal expenses in his efforts to have Terri die.

Note: In the ensuing (9) years since the 1992 jury malpractice award, Michael Schiavo has used Terri’s medical fund money in his pursuit of Terri’s death and to defend his guardianship role. The bulk of the money has gone for legal fees. Although Terri’s medical fund is sealed; there are court transactions available for public inspection.

Question 4: How Much is Remaining in Terri’s Medical Fund?

The bleeding of money from Terri’s medical fund is far from over. The primary attorneys Michael Schiavo has used in his quest to end Terri’s life, Attorney Deborah Bushnell and Attorney George Felos, have not been compensated for their services since their last invoice – September 2001.

We estimate that Terri's account balance is now less than $300,000. We expect Attorney Deborah Bushnell and Attorney George Felos to invoice over $90,000 to bring their legal fees current. We believe that after legal fees are paid the balance in Terri’s fund, as of February 28, 2002, will be around $200,000.

Also, there is no telling the future amount Attorney George Felos will charge Terri, via Michael Schiavo, for his legal endeavors. On February 22, 2002, in response to the attorney’s February 7, 2002 appeal, the Florida Supreme Court issued a stay to the 2nd District Appellate Court’s order calling for Terri’s neurological examinations. The Florida Supreme Court is presently reviewing their posture regarding Terri’s case.

Should the Florida Supreme Court take jurisdiction, Attorney George Felos will then have the opportunity to totally deplete the entire assets in Terri’s medical fund.

Hey, if it scares the NOW nags and hags, it's gotta be a good thing, right?

[Krodg]

Will you accept a FreepMail from me??...I owe you an apology.

[sweetliberty]

"Somehow, when he reads their mind and soul, none of them replies, "Up yours, George, I'm alive and want to stay that way."

ROTFL! Good observation. You'd think he'd run across the occasional subject who has at least some resistance to being "helped out" of this world, wouldn't you?

[Coral Snake]

What do you feel about the order for IMMEDIATE CREMATION of the body and medical records. How you answer this will determine where you fit on my revised scale for my troll alert on you. And be advised that trolls who DON'T answer that question are AUTOMATICALLY given this status:

A total of nine neurologists have also stated that Terri Schiavo is not in PVS. "It is obvious to me that Ms. Schiavo is a viable human being who is at least semi-responsive to her environment," physician Richard Neubauer stated in a May 2001 affidavit.

Does anyone know where to find the article where Greer admitted to not even reading six of the doctors statements??

No, and I hadn't heard about that. I would like to read it though, if someone can find it and post it.
