Yes.

And won't it be a shock to those who think MS and all the rest of the Death Squad are doing it out of love?

What are they going to say? "I didn't know."?

I wouldn't even plan to VISIT that state.

What in the world would the chances of you getting out of there alive if you have a devasting accident and were in a coma????

Imagine the hell your family would have getting you out of the clutches of a system with judges in it like Greer!!

If I were a parent of any child anywhere in the vicinity of where their kids when they get to the dating age, I'd be on the watch...

One. If they have daughters, look out because they probably have a the same mecurial instincts their bios have.

Two. If they a sons.... let's just say I wouldn't want my daughters (if my children were girls) ANYWHERE NEAR any of his male offspring for any length of time.....

And I'm not picking on the kids because their kids.

If they're around people who believe it's okay to starve someone to death the odds are good they'll have that attitude.

Yes.

What was said by someone one about "no little judge sitting in a court in Florida...."

Those words have come back to haunt..

What odious cowards.

Stupidest thing I've ever seen.

So if they'd just acquiesced when Michael first proposed pulling the tube there'd be money left to take care of Terri and she could. . .

wait a second. . .

wouldn't she be dead?

There's a lot of suspicion that insurance fraud is going on, not to mention the likelihood of medicare fraud with the hospice, considering the fact that Terri was illegally a resident of a hospice for the dying, for 5 years, when 6 months is supposed to be the limit.

That hospice is being investigated by the feds (HHS) for just that reason. As a result of that investigation, HHS is seeking to recoup 15 million dollars in federal funding collected by Suncoast in the name of patients who were not actually terminally ill, going all the way back to 97, when Felos was on the hospice board.

It's like saying that you can remove the respirator, but if the patient is still breathing on his own once the respirator is removed, you've got to suffocate him.

Excellent way to put it.

Not true. My husband, at age 18, took out a large universal life insurance policy. His father died when my husband was just 3 years old, leaving behind him, his widowed mother and little sister. My husband took out the policy, and named his mother as beneficiary, in the event that anything happened to him and he wasn't able to help take care of her in her declining years.

Upon marrying, I was named beneficiary, three years before we owned a home and seven years before we had our first child. I also carried over $250K in life insurance from the day we married.

I lost a nephew at just 6 months old, and that terrible event taught me to insure my children, as well. My nephew's passing was devastating, and his funeral was expensive. If anything were to happen to my babies, my husband and I would have sufficient funds to cover the funeral, plus allow us to take time off from our jobs to recover, as best we could, the shattered fragments of our lives. I pray to God I never, EVER have to use it.

Since we frequently travel as a family, my sister and my husband's sister would benefit in the event of a air disaster. All totaled, we have almost $1M in death benefits and assets, which would be evenly split, according to our wills (written many years ago, too!).

The long and short of it is this: there is every possibility that Michael had a large policy out on Terri, and would stand to collect should she pass.

New and Exclusive at The Empire Journal

EXPLOSIVE!!!!!!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE
Schiavo Case Tangled Web of Deception, Corruption
By June Maxam and Ginger Berlin
© The Empire Journal

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

How applicable to the Terri Schiavo case.

Virtually as soon as Michael Schiavo received the monies from the medical malpractice claim involving his wife, Terri Schindler-Schiavo, he withheld all therapy and rehabilitation services from her.

Terri Schiavo had sustained a serious brain injury as the result of a suspicious incident in their home in 1990 and in 1992, her husband had filed claims against several of her former doctors, claiming her “collapse” was caused by a misdiagnosis. He received over $1.5 million in 1993 including $750,000 which had been specifically earmarked by the trial jury for Terri’s rehabilitation based on a life expectancy of 50 years.

Mary and Bob Schindler Sr., her parents, consulted a St. Petersburg attorney about removing Michael Schiavo as their daughter’s guardian and discussed the case at length with him.

Unfortunately, the Schindlers did not have the amount of money the attorney demanded as a retainer to take the case.

That attorney became the judge in the case-----a totally prohibited conflict of interest.

Thereafter, the attorney-judge approved the hiring of George Felos as the attorney for Schiavo to be paid from the trust fund and the stage was set for her judicial homicide..

The judge wasn’t George W. Greer.

It was Mark I. Shames.

And for that reason alone, it seems mind-boggling that no state agency is willing to stop this train-wreck that Terri found herself in.

I read an article online recently that said Greer balks at auditor review, saying it's not the auditor's business. Just the law, but we know that doesn't matter.

Same here. It's off my list entirely of vacation spots, and we used to go there for a number of years.

What kills me about that is that the FL constitution (someone posted the executive sections the other day and for some reason, I can't link to the website today, keeps getting refused) allows the governor step in if any officer is acting unlawfully. If Greer is violating the law by refusing her oral nutrition, I don't understand how on that basis, Jeb didn't intervene.

Indeed.

There are so many layers to peel in all this.

I am sorry for all the tragedy you have had in your family but I think you will concede that you are the exception not the rule. In any case if there was a large insurance policy out there I suspect we would have heard about it by now. I am sure during all the trials, depositions, etc. Michael was asked about that.

Oh my God. This article should be a thread of its own. I just read it in its entirety with my hand over my mouth. Unbelievable stuff in there. The more The Empire Journal uncovers, the more appalling this whole thing is.

Is it true that Michael is living high on the hog in a $400,000 house and driving 2 Mercedes while at the same time refusing to replace Terri's broken wheelchair?

I do not know anything about this. Your allegations are the first that I have heard.
