had a thought. I wonder if the insurance companies can say that judicial ordered death is not natural causes and refuse to pay on Michael's life insurance policies on Terri.

Judge Greer will rule against that. He will follow all the proper procedures, or if he doesn't the higher courts won't review the ruling on the merits anyway.

My hope is MS stays either in court or jail forever.

Actually, Terri's father isn't the angel you think he is. Her mother was, but not him.

After her collapse, her husband brought suit against the doctor who had failed to diagnose her potassium imbalance. One of the first things doctors are supposed to test for, or tell bulimics to do, is take potassium – bulimia depletes the supply. It caused her heart to stop, and brain to die.

Until the million-dollar judgment, Michael Schiavo and his father-in-law got along just fine. There were no differences of opinion about therapy. No claims that he had beaten his wife, or that they were on the verge of divorce. Indeed, they were all living together – the sick woman, her husband and the in-laws.

But money changes everything. The father-in-law wanted a share; the husband wanted to keep it – so they fought until it was all used up, with her almost-dead body becoming the only thing left to fight over.

Why didn't Michael just let his in-laws have the corpse? Stubborn and angry, probably. Why didn't the parents just let the husband have the money back then, if that's all he really wanted? Stubborn and angry, probably.

If there is money to be made by him, so be it. I think he's been unfairly accused of things.
Plus there are laws in this country. Innocent till proven guilty in a court of law. He's been denied that.

He wouldn't be demanding an Autopsy if he had something to hide, so i guess we will see in the next couple days what it has to say. Of course, if it proves she was completely brain dead, which I think she was, some just won't believe it regardless. They will only believe that she could walk and talk and fly- do anything she tried - like Pinoccio

refuse to pay on Michael's life insurance policies
I think the insurance may be a minor issue.
What was on TV was that there was a malpractice suite settled for 1 million. He got $300,000 and the other $700,000 was put in a trust fund for her care. Shortly after that is when her "husband" decided that she should be starved to death.
I don't remember the show (60 minutes, 20-20, etc.), but the show was favoring her "husbands" side of the issue and still presented this information.

Regards,
GE

Wonder if the "mistress" has had second thoughts about Michael's "darker" tendencies (ie: euthanized Terri's cats, pulled the plug on his parents, and now starved his "wife" to death while living with another woman)...Perhaps she should think twice about marrying him, not that I care about her feelings as she's guilty of adultery too!

Same sort of thing I guess when one spouse leaves for another and they marry. If the commitment to the first spouse could be broken, what on earth makes them believe "till death do us part" would have any meaning the second time around?

Cordially,

It will be interesting to see just how the long piece of ---- waits until he makes an "honest" woman out of his shackup. All I can say is she'd better not get sick in any way, shape or form. It would be much easier the 2nd time around for him, and I'm not talking about marriage!

When his children go to school, what wrath will they incur?

The sins of the father....

Care to bet that MS will be arrested sometime within the next year for domestic abuse of his current girlfriend? Also, if they should marry, he will probably do to the new Mrs. S. what he did to Terri.

Hmmmmmm........... Her father is no angel? Do you really have to slime her family?

He wouldn't be demanding an Autopsy if he had something to hide, so i guess we will see in the next couple days what it has to say.

He is demanding a autopsy? If he is going to cremate the body, there has to be a autopsy. Doesn't sound very righteous to me. Heck take this and the fact that he has common law wife and two kids while still being married to another woman you got the makings of a saint.

I totally agree with you that this was just nourishment for her..that which we all would need to remain alive. My mother starved to death from Alzheimers. I have seen this up close and personal..it is not something that is euphoric..it is just awful.

Now they are painting a picture of absolute courtesy for the Shindlers from St MS (gag). I wonder if they went in at the assessment and just gave her that final push with a drop more medicine?

Angels of mercy at that place which is linked with Hemlock Society? This Felos in on the air now talking about the death and he is a sicko..he gets positively orgasmic over the idea of death...God save us...

Good thought but everything dealing with her death was court ordered so i tend to doubt it.However we all know that
insurance companies don't pay unless they have to.

Fully agree pepperhead. That whole spiel was a sham. Felos knowing the Fla law had to know that an autopsy would be a requirement in the case of a cremation. It had NOTHING to do with what Schiavo supposedly wanted. That was all a smoke screen.

Since this death was "court approved" it is highly unlikely he could be found guilty in a civil suit.

How do you know that?

Are you saying because he didn't murder her with his own hands - then there is nothing the parents can do ..??

What if the autopsy proves he abused her ..?? Would that change the likelyhood of wrongful death ..??

"there are laws in this country. Innocent till proven guilty in a court of law. He's been denied that."

How can he be "denied that," when he's not been lawfully accused of anything? You had my open mind until I read that.

What I am saying is because MS is her legal guardian and the court approved Terri's request via micheal schiavo(as guardian) to remove the feeding tube it will be very hard to convict him in a civil suit.

They can try but it will be tough.

As for the alleged abuse again they will have to prove
that MS did it which will be hard because of the amount of time involved...15yrs

This mantra of the father being evil and the mother being a saint has been repeated by Scott Schiavo with little or no explanation. It has also been picked up by many on the left in the mainstream media. It was most recently asserted by the Slimeball host chris matthews just this morning on the Imus show ; where he stated he thought Robert Schindler was"ENJOYING THIS WHOLE THING"......real class
