Terri Schiavo
He is an ego-centric mad man who only wants his wife dead so he can marry his new found partner because technically, he is sitll married to Terri. You can't deny it.
He denied her therapy that could have betetred her condition. He has even been quoted as saying "When Is That Bitch Going To Die?". I can answer that for you Michael...SOON.
Despite the efforts of Terri's birth family, none of the Federal or State Courts will give her her tube back. Terri Schiavo is hanging on by a thread and is fighting to stay alive. She wants to live contrary to the claims her "husband" makes. She has even said "AHH Waa" hinting at "I Want To Live." That was taken to Judge George Greer who ordered the tube out and still he denied her the tube because of a legal technicality. Who the Hell Cares? THIS IS A PERSON'S LIFE!! If a Criminal was on trial and new evidence came up that could clear him, would a court not examine it and release them? Yes they would. This woman is innocent. She has comitted no crime. If this is how America is becoming, we need to change and change quick before we are killing a baby before it is born without a leg. Or killing a mom who is blind. This is ridiculous and I hope that Terri Schiavo's story will open the eyes of all Americans and change how things are done Judicially.
