Opposing lawyers share thoughts on Schiavo case
Palm Beach Daily News ^ | October 1, 2005 | Michele Dargan

Posted on 10/01/2005 6:32:54 AM PDT by topher

The only issue that David Gibbs can ever remember Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh agreeing on was the fact that Terri Schiavo should remain alive.

...

Gibbs called removing Schiavo's feeding tube "barbaric and uncivilized." Florida law does not allow the starvation of animals and the constitution does not allow the starvation of convicted murderers, he said.

...

Felos said faith-based organizations, religious leaders, priests and rabbis distorted the facts in the Schiavo case.

I mentioned some time back the first vacancy was not my worry, since I figured it would pacify us, but worried about the second one more. Now we will see soon enough.

Back when Judge Whittemore signed Terri's death warrant, I just gave it a quick read. I came across it again today, and read it a little more carefully. I don't have the time to join in an in-depth discussion, but I thought some others might be interested in seeing how he twisted the circumstances and the law to justify his agenda.

"I can't even see Felos's name in print without gagging."

I deal with the revulsion by thinking of the word "felos" as a cussword.

As in, "that's a load of horse-felos".

Felos has always seemed to have a big problem with anything or anyone religious, imo.

Maybe that's why there's that old saying I seem to remember hearing somewhere---

My brother who was visiting earlier is quite knowledgeable on the Bible and reminded me that on many occasions as if by celestial humor or by warning to those who can hear, the names may reflect bad behavior. Hence a person who is a fool may have a name root as fool. I don't know if I could find the examples again as easily as he did but he found several amazing examples in the Old Testament.

Remember the root of his name, felos de se. No matter how it is cut, Felo is a root for evildoer. Here is a legal definition of felo de se.

A felon of himself; a self-murderer. To be guilty of this offence, the deceased must have had the will and intention of committing it, or else he committed no crime. As he is beyond the reach of human laws, he cannot be punished. English law used to inflict a punishment by a barbarous burial of his body, and by forfeiting to the king the property which he owned and which would belong to his relations. The charter of privileges granted by William Penn to the inhabitants of Pennsylvania contains the following clause: 'If any person, through temptation or melancholy, shall destroy himself, his estate, real and personal, shall notwithstanding, descend to his wife and children, or relations, as if he had died a natural death.

Another: "Felo-de-se" is a Latin phrase meaning "evildoer upon himself," or, simply, a suicide. In England before 1870 a distinction was made between a suicide, which was the name given to an act of self-destruction committed by a person of unsound mind, and a felo-de-se, which was committed somebody who was sane. If a self-destruction was judged a felo-de-se, the deceased's estate was generally forfeited to the crown.

October dawns with the Terri Legacy churning.

The Execution of Terri Schiavo

by David M. Huntwork

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak. In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in the favor of life."

"I urge all those who honor Terri Schiavo to continue to work to build a culture of life where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected, especially those who live at the mercy of others.”

– President George Bush

The crime is complete, the deed is done, and the long battle is over. Terri Schiavo is dead.

The Execution

Thank you.

Now I an able to locate that one, in 1 Samuel 25 Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.

Felos is full of all that is corrupt. Out of his mouth leaps the lizards and maggots of a diseased and spiritless mind.

I know that revenge is our Father's.

And I also know that through his beloved children our Father works His marvelous will.

Even as Gibbs and Felos presented their views before this Bar organization, Terri's spirit was and is tucked safely in with our Father, far from the cruel touch of michael 'the monster' and felos ' the death merchant'.

They will never be able to defend their actions, and they know this.

They murdered a precious human being because they could.

Now we will keep the truth of their horrific, brutal, heinous drive to kill this woman alive, because we can.

None of us will hopefully ever know what it is like to have a healthy but brain damaged child killed like they decided to kill Terri, not with a swift stroke, but with a brutal and painful withdrawal of life giving water and food.

These animals are just beginning a walk I do not envy. For the path they have chosen is dark, cold and directed by evil.

The name felos, the name schiavo, the name greer, the name king, the name of every person who used their authority to murder Terri will not be forgotten and will be held up to the light of truth for the rest of their lives. As it should be.
