Michael Schiavo won a legal battle against the Schindlers to carry out what he said was his wife's wish. He testified that she had said she would not want to be kept alive under such circumstances.

After a January 2000 nonjury trial, Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George Greer ruled that testimony from Schiavo and his relatives provided "clear and convincing evidence" that Terri Schiavo indicated she would not want to be kept alive without hope of improvement.

Even IF everything Mikey "remembered" years afterwards was true, it still doesn't matter because Florida law did not consider nutrition and hydration to be "life support" at the time of Terri's injury.

But civil law is retroactive — it’s one of the problems the American people have in interpreting their Constitution.
