LARGO - In what could be a final chapter in the legal saga of Terri Schiavo, Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe says he could find no evidence that Michael Schiavo caused his wife's collapse 15 years ago.
In a June 30 letter to Gov. Jeb Bush, McCabe suggested ending the state's inquiry into the case.
Bush responded Thursday in a two-sentence letter to McCabe: "Based on your conclusions, I will follow your recommendation that the inquiry by the state be closed."
Bush asked McCabe last month to investigate Schiavo's collapse on the morning of Feb. 25, 1990. He cited questions left unanswered by an autopsy and inconsistent statements from Michael Schiavo about the time he found his wife on the floor of their apartment.
McCabe appointed two of his most seasoned prosecutors to review the evidence. They found nothing to indicate Michael Schiavo hurt his wife....

Graymatter has noted the same thing I do. You might just admit the misrepresentation and that it is a mistake. Which it could be. That it is a lie doesn't mean you are a liar -- it could be, as you seem to claim, an honest mistake in editing a long headline.
I apologize to you if it seems like a misrepresentation. That was not my intention. Fitting the right amount of words into the headline was my intention. My apologies to you. But, you need not accuse someone who had no intent to mislead. You can read the article and decide what it says. I think the headline I posted IS accurate, but we can disagree on that.
RE our post #60 - LOL..
That said, everything the Terri supporters have said have been proven to be false but you people still won't give it up. Mike had to be the villan. How do you know she didn't want to die? How do you know that her soul was waiting to be free. It was waiting in limbo to be set loose and only needed the body to die to accomplish this.
She had no life. Do you call laying in bed not being able to discern what was happening, who was with you, what they were saying to be life?
How would her parents beserved if they had Terri home with them now? Would they be able to talk to her, carry on a decent conversation, interact with her? No...we all know that answer to these questions is no. Terri was not alive, not in the strictest sense, not in the sense she enjoyed life.
All of you people think you are for Terri when in reality you are the ones who would have hurt her the most if you had won and she was still alive.
Go ahead and flame me, but you are the ones who should be ashamed, tearing down a good man with your lies and vicious self righteousness.
No, I am not happy.
In 4 I said: "[Michael Schiavo murdered [Terri Schiavo], with assistance of the legal profession, last March."
In 10 I said: "when one spouse abuses the marriage, for example, through adultery, grounds for divorce exist", and then "Micheal's guardianship should have been declared null and void as soon as his adultery became known".
In 20 I clarify what grounds for divorce exist: "adultery, abandonment, physical abuse".
I don't know how else to explain myself to you.
Michael Schiavo is guilty of adultery and abandonment of his wife and therefore was not a lawful guardian. Justice demanded that his guardianshipp were terminated and passed over to Terri's parents, or (theoretically) the state. I agree that a law that allows for divorce initiated on behalf of a spouse who is not able to communicate and suffered adutery, abandonment or abuse, is a good idea. I do not think that a law that allows for divorce merely on a disagreement regarding medical care is a good idea.
Please tell me if I have not made myself clear. I have honestly tried.
You proposed law would destroy the union when parents go after alimony due upon the divorce. There would be folks killing estranged daughters to file for divorce and collect their newly gained legacy.
Try to post the article and see what happens. There is a limit on how many words can be in a title.
Re your post #68 - Thank you, tutstar.
It should never happen -- it is murder. No different then assisted suicide at best.
This is no reason to make up a misleading title.
We don't disagree on that. You now agree you did lie. The headline as you now admit to purposefully and carefully editing it is a complete misrepresentation. It is a lie as to the findings.
The limit on words doesn't matter in this case ... what does matter is the meaning of words. Words have meanings. The meaning of the words used in this threads headline are a total misrepresentation of the findings.
The situation at hand -- Terri Schindler-Schiavo -- was a case of murder and even would have been so if the only difference was she DID (and she did not) have such a contract, such an "advance medical directive" or "living will" -- what an oxymoron that latter term!
You confuse fear of being guilty with fear of punishment.
What good does it accomplish, or what ill, to say summer lied? Or summer misled? Better to say the subject line is misleading, not summer.
This is why with 4000 or so posts, I have only started maybe 4 threads. Just plain scared of y'all.
