Desperate Effort for Terri
The case of Terri Shiavo is now making it to the Supreme Court. Federal appeals court ruled against the Schindlers, and the Florida Senate failed to act on legislation passed by the Florida House that would have prevented Terri Schiavo from dying by the withholding of food or water. It seems the Supreme court might be a last ditch effort to save Terri Schiavo's life, but it appears the cards are stacked against the Schindlers.
It's a shame that the state of Florida and the federal courts might become an accessory to a murder that was started years ago by a man who, despite his protestations to the contrary, clearly hates this woman.
Terri's not going to win this case mainly because her parents are from the old school and makes the mistake of believing people are noble. Unfortunately, they're thinking is rooted in the past, when most people were.
Had Terri's parents not accepted Michael's version of events on the faithful night this nightmare began, and demanded a full police investigation at that time, we probably wouldn't be talking about this case now and Michael Shiavo might be behind bars for attempted murder. Unfortunately, their misplaced trust caused them to wait so long that the statute of limitations for attempted murder (4 years) ran out.
Fortunately, there is no statue of limitations for murder. As there is a possibility that his actions might have caused her to be in her present state, which ultimately will lead to her death, the state of Florida should have legal grounds to investigate and, if evidence is found, prosecute. Michael Schiavo might not realize it now but his stubborn insistence to see his wife dead might just open a huge can of worms.
Also, as Michael Schiavo is insistent that he is Terri's husband, than he and not the state of Florida, should be responsible for her medical expenses. The state of Florida should do an audit of his finances to see where the money that was awarded for Terri's medical care went.
I just hope, after this woman has gone to meet her maker, that the state of Florida comes down hard on Michael Schiavo - both criminally and financially!
