What money is Michael going to get. . . . I'm not saying he's a swell guy. I'm just saying these arguments don't wash.

Let's see there is a trust fund in that started in excess of 2 Million dollars. ALL of this was for Terri's 'care and REHABILITATION' - Michael's words. But he hasn't spent it for that. Some, less than 10% has gone to the hospice bills. Since he said he needed that money, he sued to get it, to REHABILITATE her, one might think he meant what he said. One might think that he was telling the truth, but he was not. He lied. Now when Bill Clinton lies Dan Rather still says Bill Clinton is an honest man tho' he lies. Now when Michael lies do we pretend that he too is an honest man. I think he has a little bit of a credibility problem.

Now, no one mention the fact that Michael refuses to say whether Terri has a life insurance policy.

Maybe he is afraid she will get the therapy she needs & be able to communicate what really caused her to be in this condition. Maybe the fear of going to prison for attempted murder? Why has he stipulated that her body be cremated as soon as she dies?

Why did they have to remove the feeding tube in order for her to be "allowed to die"? Why didn't they just stop feeding her? What the hell is going on down there in Florida? Why are so many people willing to err on the side of death???????

Jesus said how you treat the least of us is how you treat him also. God help America!

The nurse's testimony might be heresay. But so is Michael Schiavo's testimony that Terri would rather die than be kept alive by artificial means. Since when is a feeding tube or help with eating considered artificial means?

The fact that Michael Schiavo withheld therapy from Terri speaks louder than anything. And this is WELL-DOCUMENTED.

Add to it, the fact that most of her legal malpractice settlement, the settlement that should have paid for her therapy, was spent on his legal expenses is most telling.

Follow the money.

I saw him with his attorney tonight on Larry King and neither Larry King nor the callers nailed him on the facts.

Michael Schiavo should do the right thing and sign her guardianship over to her parents, who love her and will do the right thing by her.

Good Lord, there have been neurologists and nurses who say she can swallow. She swallows her own saliva constantly and has swallowed jello and pudding and juices. Poor woman has been denied any type of meaningful therapy and stimulation based on her "husband's" orders.

The brain needs stimulation to form new connections. She has been denied.

Even if she doesn't get better, she's like a person born with cerebral palsy or severe mental retardation.

I don't know I honestly believe he is THAT stupid to be saying these things to her nurses!?

Perhaps he was "under the inluence" of something.

The most likely problem here is that all of a spouses assets are liquidated completely (paid to the nursing home or hospice to cover expenses) before any state assistance kicks in long term care cases.

That means if Terri stays alive much longer Micheal and his live in will be reduced to paupers.

Happens every day.

Well yes indeed, and isn't he just a WHINER DELUXE, constantly complaining about Congress Critters gettin' in the way of his husbandly right to whack his WINO (wife in name only) ...

Hypothetical: What happens, God forbid, if his Common Law Wifey were suddenly hurt & became comatose, does HINO/WHINO/WHINER also get to decide whether or not to pull the plug and whack her too ??? Me thinks this wacko is getting way too much power for the number of moral brain cells he possesses.

-This judge is probably showing deference to Judge Greer, by not appearing too hasty.
Have you all seen this letter by a Florida sheriff?:

http://www.rense.com/general63/retiredsheriffspeaks.htm

"Imagine for a moment that you are a Circuit Court Judge. A terrified woman comes before your Court pleading for her life. She testifies, under oath, that her violent and demented husband raped her, set her clothes on fire and threatens to kill her. She needs your help and petitions your court for an Injunction for Protection. What would you do? Well, this is what a real Circuit Court Judge of the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida; by the name of Judge George W. Greer decided.

He actually had this exact case come before his bench seven years ago, when Helene Ball McGee, from Dunedin Florida pleaded with him to grant her an Injunction for Protection. Helene was in absolute fear for her life. Judge George W. Greer, however, refused to help her, because (according to him) she had not shown him ìenough proofî that her husband was physically violent yet. Two weeks later her deranged husband, Bobby Lane McGee, stabbed her to death."

Nurses give testimony that may result (and does) in at least one of them losing their jobs.

Figures. One of them talks out of turn and gets the axe. Nurses' services are perpetually under-appreciated. They are conveniently blamed and fired when families, and doctors get a bug up their @#$.

The stress on the nursing staff as a result of all the media, lawyers, etc. involved has got to be pretty bad.

My wife has been a nurse for 25 years, many of those at nursing homes. We've been talking lately about what it must be like for the nursing staff in the facility that Terri is in - must be hell.

Still not enough evidence for Greer.

Will a liberal judge care about the justice, or in this case the injustice, being done to an innocent woman?

In case anyone has not reviewed this very disturbing information relating to the so-called 'husband' of Terri Schindler:

CLEARWATER, Fl.,February,10th /Christian Wire Service/ -- 'On May 6th, 1990, two months after the mysterious incident that left Terri Schindler Schiavo severely mentally disabled, Dr. Hamilton, an Orthopedic Surgeon, examined her. A year later Terri was demonstrating painful reactions to physical therapy treatment, so on March 5, 1991, the Mediplex therapist director ordered a bone scan.

This bone scan revealed a healed broken right femur bone and healed bone fractures in Terri Schindler Schiavo’s ribs, pelvis, spine and ankle.

Dr. W. Campbell Walker concluded that Terri has a history of trauma and presumed that the other multiple areas of abnormal activity also relate to previous trauma.'

Nope, he's just a WHFH, Wicked Husband From Hell.

To receive a millionish dollar settlement for your wife's rehabilitation, only to stop any rehabilitation once you receive said settlement puts you firmly in the POS category, undeniably.

This guy needs to be investigated and most likely prosecuted. Every nursing home he ever drug Terri to needs to be seriously looked at. I really believe she has been women who has not only been abused by her husband but by nursing homes and the court.

Judge Greer is not only incomptent, he is dangerous to civil society. Do you know if there are any impeachment efforts for him?

What money is Michael going to get

Perhaps he is the beneficiary on Terri's policy. Perhaps he knew he would get some money in connection with his relationship with his fiancee, Jodi Centonze.

Michael knows his way around insurance, for sure. Terri was a clerk at Prudential, so perhaps she got life insurance as a "benefit." She was young then, so the policy might have been a very good one.

Also Michael is a Director of the Jerger and Centonze Insurnace [sic] Agency, which is run out of his fiancee's house. (Her name is Jodi Centonze). One of the other directors, Richard Jerger, is the son of a very influential and very rich local family, which made a lot of money insuring mobile homes, among other things. The Jerger family's insurance company was bought out by Philadelphia Consolidated in 1999. (a cash and stock deal valued at over $40 million)

My only concern is that there are so very many uncorroborated stories out there on both sides. Shep said all 5 doctors were in agreement, O'Reilly says it costs $80,000 a month for hospice care and a feeding tube. On the other side there is the wedding ring story. I suspect none of this is true

Or the DU trolls evidently. Check out their comments on the impeach judge greer petition. They're in good company with the other librull members of the Reich in Congress.
