Another resourse on the matter of Terri Schindler-Schiavo

This is The Empire Journal, which has investigated all the angles in the tragic case of Terri Schindler-Schiavo even longer than WorldNetDaily has. Among their most electrifying findings is that Terri had had a fight with Michael on the night before her "collapse" and told her brother that she wanted a divorce. If verbal declarations are enough to go buy in Judge Greer's court, why doesn't this count as an automatic conflict-of-interest? The Empire Journal also calls into question Judge Greer's advertising in last year's re-election campaign, showing several instances that appear to violate State law--and also involved the man who was the Sheriff of Pinellas County, and the one who should have investigated Michael Schiavo on suspicion of attempted murder, but didn't. The Empire Journal's main page devoted to Schiavo coverage lists several numbers and e-mail addresses for people to call, asking why justice has not been done.

Aside from The Empire Journal is this retrospective that in the very first paragraph points out that Terri had "evidence of trauma to her neck"--which sounds to me like finger bruise marks. That same commentary also shows that his whole attitude from the beginning has been that he anticipated a big inheritance and was going to blow it on "a car, a boat, and traveling to Europe." (The commentary also rags on George Felos, but what can I say about any man, once he declares that a person ought to have "a right" to die? As other correspondents of mine have said, George Felos' motive is ideological, and Michael Schiavo's, personal.)

If those aren't enough, consider this, and this.

Obviously I am not the only person who has suggested that Michael Schiavo tried to murder his wife and has wanted her gone ever since. If, therefore, she dies, this will have been a travesty of justice in addition to a family travesty. But Michael Schiavo doesn't care. He's got his sweet patootie (who might even have been what the fight was about!), has sired two children on her, and wants to marry her. (A word of advice, Sweetie: what he did to Terri, he could do to you someday. Think about it, Sweet Patootie! Think about it...! This is why "right-to-die laws" are bad public policy.
